Fixing Potholes and Cracks First
Here is where you will save the most money if you spot asphalt cracks early. The savings here is huge, because neglected cracks allow water to get underneath, and it will destroy the foundation of the parking lot. That's a sure way to end up with parking lot replacement! By Crack Sealing early, as part of your parking lot maintenance, you will greatly extend the life of your asphalt. Watch for grass or weeds growing up through the pavement and thin spidery lines known as alligator cracking.
There are 3 steps to repair cracks
Clean the damaged area (all debris, weeds, and loose asphalt).
Make sure your crack is 1" deep. If it's deeper, top up with coarse gravel to 1" depth, which this procedure can be finished by using Crack Router KD-25.
Fill the damaged areas as follows:
• Small cracks (1/2" or narrower) with Crack Sealing Machine.
• Cracks from 1/2" - 1" with hot pour rubberized filler
• Potholes and cracks larger than 1" with Pothole Patcher DAY-3050 or Asphalt Pavement Maintenance Vehicle.
We also have a whole set of machine to fill in alligator cracks and shallow potholes, which include Crack Router KD-25, Wind Blower, Heat Lance RD-940 and Crack Sealing Machine.
