Crack Filling Services

Give Pavement Cracks the Attention They Need

Small cracks may seem minor, but leaving them untreated can expose asphalt and concrete to moisture, debris, and continued wear. Our crack filling services help address these openings before they have the opportunity to spread, helping maintain driveways, parking areas, walkways, and other paved surfaces. We provide professional solutions for both asphalt and concrete, with an approach suited to the condition and type of surface being maintained.

The Process Behind Effective Crack Filling

Identify the Damage

Every crack can have a different cause and level of severity. We assess the damaged area and surrounding pavement to determine the appropriate approach for asphalt or concrete.

Prepare the Area

Proper preparation helps the filling material adhere to the surface and create a more reliable seal. This is especially important when filling cracks in driveway surfaces or other areas exposed to regular traffic.

Fill the Crack

The right material is selected according to the surface and condition of the crack. This allows us to handle asphalt crack filling as well as cracks in concrete with materials suited to the pavement.

Seal Out Moisture

An open crack gives water and debris an easy path into the pavement. Filling these openings helps limit moisture penetration and can slow further deterioration of the surrounding surface.

Problems Caused by Untreated Cracks

  • ✓ Larger cracks that require more extensive repairs
  • ✓ Increased water penetration beneath the surface
  • ✓ Faster deterioration of asphalt and concrete pavement
  • ✓ Higher costs for pavement repair over time
  • ✓ Greater damage around existing cracks
  • ✓ Reduced service life of the pavement
  • ✓ More involved maintenance later on

Common Types of Cracks We Fill

Block Cracks

Block cracks create interconnected rectangular patterns across pavement. Our asphalt crack filler helps seal openings and limit moisture penetration.

Edge Cracks

Edge cracks form along pavement edges where support may be weaker or moisture collects. Early repair can help prevent the damage from spreading.

Reflective Cracks

Reflective cracks form when underlying cracks or joints move through the pavement. We assess the damage before recommending crack filling or another repair method.

Longitudinal Cracks

Longitudinal cracks run parallel to the pavement and may develop from movement or repeated stress. Suitable asphalt crack filler helps seal cracks and protect the surrounding surface.

Shrinkage Cracks

Shrinkage cracks form as concrete dries and contracts. Using a suitable concrete crack filler can seal these openings, prevent moisture and debris from getting inside, and protect the surrounding concrete from damage.

Alligator Cracks

Alligator cracks often indicate pavement damage beyond crack filling or sealing. Severely damaged areas may require cutting out the affected asphalt and completing proper repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Temperature Affect My Crack Filling?

Yes, temperature and weather conditions can affect how crack filling material adheres and cures. Our team considers the surface conditions and weather when performing the work to help ensure the material bonds properly and provides effective protection.

Yes. Crack filling is used to seal individual cracks and keep moisture from entering the pavement, while sealcoating adds a protective layer over the broader surface. The two services can work together as part of a regular pavement maintenance plan.

There is no fixed schedule for crack filling, as the timing depends on the pavement’s condition, crack development, and exposure to traffic and weather. Regular inspections can help identify new or reopened cracks so they can be addressed before they become more difficult to repair.

It depends on the condition of the previous repair and the crack underneath it. We inspect the area to determine whether the existing material needs to be removed or whether the crack can be properly prepared and filled again for a more effective repair.
