Crack Repair Solutions

Did you know that a well maintained driveway or parking lot can last as long as 30 years? Yet many property owners find themselves needing to replace it in as little as 10. That's because most don't properly repair damage to the surface as it occurs.

Repairing cracks in your asphalt surface as they appear is an important and inexpensive step to ensure that you get the most from your investment.

WHY DO CRACKS FORM?

Your asphalt is under constant attack from the elements. The sun, rain, snow, and ice all contribute to its wear over time and can cause cracks for a number of reasons:

* Freezing & Thawing

* Oxidization

* Erosion Beneath the Surface

WHY SHOULD YOU REPAIR CRACKS NOW?

When cracks appear in your asphalt surface, it is critical to fill them immediately.  Leaving them un-repaired leaves the blacktop vulnerable to even further damage.

Once a crack appears:

Water can accumulate and freeze in cold temperatures, prying the asphalt apart as ice expands.  Seeds can collect in the crack and sprout weeds, which can worsen the crack as roots grow.  Water can seep into the cracks, further eroding the ground beneath the asphalt, destabilizing it even more.
