Collection: Asphalt Repair Products

Repairing cracks in asphalt freeways and highways is a typical and necessary maintenance. Asphalt develops small cracks naturally over time. The sooner cracks can be patched and sealed the better. If cracks are left open, or are not thoroughly sealed, water can penetrate into the asphalt and beneath it. This water can gradually erode or destroy the asphalt and its foundation, forming a pothole over time. Repairing cracks when they’re small prevents more severe and costly damage, preventing freeway closures with removal and replacement.

Choosing the appropriate asphalt repair product is extremely important. The geographic location, time of the year, weather, and temperature will help to determine which asphalt repair product to use. Carefully patching and filling the cracks will seal out moisture and prevent further erosion and damage. Well-maintained asphalt can last for years, but eventually all asphalt and pavement develops numerous cracks which allow moisture and liquid water to damage the pavement and eventually affect the foundation the asphalt rests upon.

Not all asphalt problems are the direct result of cracks and potholes. Although cracking is a major problem, asphalt can become uneven or concave even with no cracks present. Asphalt resurfacing solves problems of uneven surfaces, and is often the best solution for mending excessive cracks and crevasses, ensuring a smooth-riding freeway. Resurfacing levels the entire asphalt surface, smoothing all areas, and addressing any special areas whether you’re resurfacing a parking lot, driveway, or sidewalk. Similar to patching or filling asphalt cracks, resurfacing depends on many factors including weather, temperature, the age of the asphalt, the condition of the asphalt and more. Remember that asphalt relies on chemical processes, and that environmental factors such as moisture, hot and cold weather, dust, dirt, and debris all affect any asphalt surface. Because of this, the performance and lifespan of any asphalt surface will vary greatly depending on its location and general use.
