Commercial Crack Repairs

Sealing cracks is the most economical way to prevent future asphalt deterioration and asphalt repair expenses as confirmed by many years of research on the most efficient and cost effective methodologies for pavement preservation. Study after study has proven that when cracks are sealed at the proper time, two to four years of added pavement life can be expected before other maintenance treatments are required. Approximately every $1.00 spent on crack sealing produces around $4.00 in rehabilitation cost savings.

 

Crack Repair Applications

Pavement cracks are inevitable, and without proper maintenance and repair they tend to lead towards accelerated cracking, degradation of the subgrade, alligator cracking and potholes. Take a moment and give Superior Aggregates a call for a free bid.

Bituminous paving, the actual asphalt, is not subject to continual contraction and expansion cycles.  However, the soils and base materials below the asphalt constantly moves, shifts, contracts, and expands. Subsequently the asphalt reflects these changes and cracks occur.  Asphalt will only shrink as a result in a reduction in volume through the natural aging process of the asphalt itself.  Moisture and oils exit the material over time, through various natural processes.

Once the crack occurs, the subgrade is open to water which will compromise the subgrade or other layers of asphalt through freeze thaw cycles that heave the pavement and erosion that softens the subgrade.  Plus cracks fill with dirt and seeds providing unwanted weed and plant growth. Cracks can be blown out or routed and filled with hot rubber sealant creating a seal that is flexible and impervious to water and dirt, reducing or eliminating the deterioration the sub-base and compromising the integrity of the asphalt.
