What Is Crack Sealing?
During asphalt crack sealing, a professional paving contractor will assess the area and select the most effective hot-applied rubberized polymer crack sealant for the job. Crack sealing is typically most effective when performed in the spring or fall, as this ensures the cracks are neither fully open nor closed.
Next, the surface is then cleared of debris and dried. Once the pavement is prepared, the cracks are filled with sealant, which solidifies within the gaps.
After a final evaluation of the pavement, the crack sealing process is complete! Depending on local weather conditions and traffic, the sealed, refreshed pavement can last for the next 3 to 5 years.
Crack Filling vs. Crack Sealing
While crack filling may be a more affordable solution for damaged asphalt, it is not permanent. This temporary method is used to address non-working cracks in driveways, parking lots, or roadways by filling them with liquid asphalt or asphalt emulsions. This improves curbside appearance and reduces driving hazards.
However, asphalt crack filling is only recommended in mild climates with minimal temperature fluctuations. Otherwise, rapid changes in temperature can cause pre-existing cracks to shift and expand. The more cracks move, the more often they will need to be filled, which can lead to significant costs over time.
As such, depending on the climate of your region, you may wind up spending hundreds of dollars continually addressing these issues.
At DNE Asphalt Services Inc., we recommend asphalt crack sealing as a more durable repair. Florida’s humid subtropical climate can cause cracks to quickly migrate and expand. Unlike crack filling, crack sealing offers a long-term solution that can restore your asphalt and leave it looking brand-new.
