Cracked Asphalt Repair

Cracked and deteriorated asphalt can develop over time when the sun, rain, and other natural elements work to break down the surface.

Seeping water finds its way through untreated cracks in the pavement, and left unchecked, can lead to more extensive problems. Most cracked and distressed surfaces arise from surface water seeping through untreated cracks in the pavement. Repairing cracks early is always the best process for extending the life and reducing maintenance costs over time.

How it’s done:

• We clean the existing surface
• We fill low areas to level the surface
• We then fill large cracks

Once the surface is prepared, hot oil is applied to the surface, followed by the placement of the fabric. Hot-mixed asphalt is then installed over the fabric and compacted. As the heat and pressure from the compaction of the hot asphalt cause the oil to soak through the fabric, a bond is sealed, creating a waterproof membrane. At this point, the old and new asphalt have effectively adhered.

Utilizing asphalt fabric overlays will reduce maintenance costs and improve the effectiveness of your pavement management system without the need to completely remove and replace your existing pavement.
