Crack sealing is an affordable, essential service that can help extend the pavement life on your property. Crack sealing involves filling any pavement cracks with a sealant in order to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Sealing pavement cracks can increase the life of your pavement by anywhere from three to five years.
Pavement can expand due to seasonal temperature changes, resulting in pavement cracks. Sealing these cracks will prevent future pavement degradation and maintain the “rideability” of your pavement.
Even the highest quality asphalt requires an additional protective layer to limit exposure to the element as much as possible and to prevent water damage. Once water and other debris penetrate the surface of the road through harmful cracks, they may cause serious damage to your parking lot or driveway and require expensive repairs or even asphalt replacement. Your best way to do this is to preempt the use of pavement crack sealants to save your asphalt and your bank account further damage.
