Asphalt Crack Filling Service


Crack filling is when paving companies use either concrete or asphalt to fill in cracks. Our crack filling operations are often run with our sealing coating work because the process is very similar but they can also be performed as a standalone operation. 


Cracks can form in pavement for any number of reasons ranging from bad weather to earth movement, or natural wear and tear. It can also be due to the poor quality of foundation, asphalt materials or maintenance. 

Why Is Crack Filling Important? 

Cracks in pavement should be filled as soon as possible. Cracks are a problem not only because they are unsightly but because if they are left untreated, rain and other sources of moisture will enter under the asphalt, which can lead to the deterioration of the asphalt causing bigger cracks, or worse potholes. 


By filling cracks with either asphalt crack filler or concrete crack filler you can prevent water from getting into the cracks and causing erosion. Preventing moisture significantly slows the process of deterioration and is one of the number one ways to protect your pavement. To avoid additional damage and the inevitably higher repair expense, you should fill your cracks quickly. 


Schedule Regular Pavement Maintenance

Regularly scheduling maintenance for your pavement with a commercial paving company helps to keep damage from accumulating while also catching cracks early on so that they can be treated before they become a bigger problem. Services such as crack filling and sealcoating can help extend your pavements life so that it stays fresh and lasts longer.
