What is Crack Sealing?

When it comes to keeping your paved area in good condition, filling cracks promptly is essential to prevent more extensive damage. Water can easily seep through cracks in your asphalt and create expensive repairs if left unaddressed.

Crack sealing stops damage before it worsens, helping you get more life out of your asphalt investment. It's one of the most cost-effective maintenance steps you can take.

Hot crack sealing is a commercial-grade, rubberized DOT-approved material used on roadways, parking lots, and airstrips. Applied at 350 degrees, it creates a flexible, waterproof seal that moves with your pavement.

Benefits of Crack Sealing

Sealing cracks before they spread is key to extending pavement life:

  • Prevents Water Damage: Stops water from penetrating beneath the surface where it causes the most harm
  • Stops Crack Spreading: Prevents small cracks from growing into alligator cracking
  • Avoids Potholes: Water infiltration is the #1 cause of potholes - sealing prevents them
  • Extends Pavement Life: Regular crack sealing can add years to your asphalt
  • Cost-Effective: Much less expensive than patching or replacement
  • Prepares for Sealcoating: Cracks should be sealed before applying sealcoat

When Should Cracks Be Sealed?

All cracks 1/2 inch and larger are recommended to be sealed to prevent further expansion and deterioration. The best time to seal cracks is:

As Soon As Possible

The sooner you seal cracks, the less damage water can cause to the base.

Before Sealcoating

Cracks should be filled before applying sealcoat for best results.

Warm Weather

Best applied when temperatures are above 40°F for proper adhesion.

Regular Maintenance

Inspect annually and seal new cracks as they appear.

Crack Sealing FAQs

What is hot crack sealing?
Hot crack sealing uses commercial-grade rubberized DOT-approved material applied at 350 degrees. It creates a flexible, waterproof seal that moves with the pavement as it expands and contracts with temperature changes.
When should asphalt cracks be sealed?
Cracks 1/2 inch and larger should be sealed to prevent water penetration. The sooner you seal, the less damage occurs. We recommend sealing before the rainy season and before sealcoating.
How long does crack sealing last?
Properly applied hot crack sealing typically lasts 3-5 years depending on traffic and weather conditions. The rubberized material remains flexible, expanding and contracting with temperature changes.
Can you seal alligator cracking?
Alligator cracking (interconnected cracks that look like reptile skin) indicates base failure and typically requires patching or removal/replacement rather than just sealing. We'll assess your situation and recommend the best solution.
How soon can I drive on sealed cracks?
Hot rubberized crack sealant cools and sets quickly - usually within 15-30 minutes. Light traffic can resume shortly after application.
