Prime Asphalt: Professional Crack Sealing Services
Asphalt cracks come in all shapes and sizes, and no paved area is immune to cracking. If left untreated, they can lead to more significant problems, including potholes and sub-base failure. According to the Pavement Preservation & Recycling Alliance, 75% of unsealed cracks develop into potholes within three years, while only 1% of sealed ones do.
What Is Asphalt Crack Sealing?
This vital pavement maintenance service involves applying a hot rubberized sealant into or over breaks on a paved surface. This sealant forms a flexible layer that prevents moisture and non-compressible materials from infiltrating the pavement. The rubberized sealant’s flexibility allows the pavement to expand and contract with temperature changes while still providing protection.
Benefits of Crack Sealing
- Prevents Moisture Infiltration: Blocks water from entering, which can damage the pavement further.
- Extends Pavement Life: Extends pavement life by three to five years, making it a cost-effective maintenance solution.
- Reduces Further Deterioration: Prevents development into more serious issues, like potholes.
When to Use Crack Sealing
Asphalt crack sealing is ideal for minor, shallow cracks less than 0.75 inches wide and with minimal edge deterioration. It’s essential to address them early, while they are still in their infancy, to prevent more extensive damage. More intensive repair methods may be necessary for cracks with significant spalling or secondary cracking.

- Preparation: The surface is cleaned to remove any debris, ensuring proper sealant adhesion.
