Why cracks should be addressed
Open cracks allow water to move below the asphalt surface. Repeated moisture and temperature changes can weaken surrounding pavement and contribute to larger failures. Timely crack treatment helps limit that intrusion and is an important part of a preventive maintenance plan.
Crack filling versus pavement repair
Not every crack should be handled the same way. Isolated working cracks may be appropriate for hot-applied material, while dense alligator cracking often signals base failure that needs patching or reconstruction. We separate those conditions during the estimate so the proposed work matches the actual problem.
A coordinated maintenance approach
Crack filling is often scheduled before sealcoating so treated cracks and the surrounding asphalt receive a more uniform protective finish. On commercial properties, the work can also be coordinated with repairs and restriping to reduce disruption and create a more complete result.
