Road damage

With asphalt crack filler, our contractors can address pavement cracks and prevent further deterioration. By filling in cracks, we can stop water and dirt from entering the crack’s crevices and worsening the effects of water damage.

Our Florida contractors will clean out asphalt cracks and apply a cold or hot asphalt crack filler that expands or contracts alongside the pavement. Our fillers are long-lasting, durable, and resistant to wear.

What Is Crack Filling?

Water can greatly damage asphalt pavement. When water reaches a pavement surface, it can widen cracks and leave your driveway, parking lot, or roadway at risk of potholes.

Studies have found that over half of unsealed cracks can turn into potholes within only 3 years. As such, it’s best to repair cracks before they worsen. First, our team will completely clear the area. Weeds and grasses will be removed from the cracks. Next, during the asphalt crack filling, our contractors will precisely fill in unsightly cracks. The asphalt material will be applied to the crack, ultimately reducing water infiltration and reinforcing the safety and stability of the pavement.

Overall, this process makes for a smoother driving experience and extends the lifespan of your asphalt pavement.

What Contributes To Asphalt Cracks?

Cracked asphalt may form when a pavement is faced with intrusion from pesky tree roots. As the tree roots grow and become larger, they may force the asphalt upward, cracking and damaging large sections of the pavement.

To avoid damage from tree roots, it is best practice to plant trees and large foliage a good distance away from curbs, sidewalks, or driveways. However, if the tree is already established, it may be wise to trim away small tree roots located under the asphalt surface. For additional peace of mind, an underground root shield can also be installed. A root shield is designed to prevent roots from growing underneath the asphalt, thus stopping this issue at its source.

Another common cause for asphalt cracking is age and heavy vehicular traffic. While asphalt can last for several decades, it will still succumb to deterioration and wear over time. As the years pass, the aggregate bonds will slowly start to break down from the constant vehicular activity, creating cracks, breaks, and crevices. Fortunately, proactive asphalt maintenance can prevent this. At DNE Asphalt Services Inc., we recommend scheduling asphalt sealcoating every two to three years. A professionally applied asphalt sealcoat offers effective protection against the elements, leaving your asphalt pavement looking as smooth and sleek as it was when it was first applied.

Lastly, hot, sweltering heat can wreak havoc on your gorgeous asphalt surfaces. The warmth from the sun’s UV radiation can cause the asphalt aggregate mix to expand and crack. This phenomenon is a significant concern for driveways, parking lots, and roadways in Florida, where summer temperatures can reach record highs. This heat, combined with frequent rainstorms, can make asphalt cracking almost inevitable.

If your Florida asphalt is damaged, do not fret. Our licensed and insured asphalt repair contractors will carefully insert crack filler to the deteriorated areas, restoring the quality and aesthetic appearance of your pavement.

Ultimate Protection Against Moisture Intrusion

Cracks allow rainwater to flow through pavement and erode the material. If not promptly addressed, these cracks can expand into bothersome potholes. With crack filling, our contractors can prevent moisture from entering your asphalt.
