Benefits of Crack Repair
We’ve all seen what happens when you let a problem sit without any intervention. More often than not, the once small issue transforms into something greater or more complex. If you don’t call our local asphalt repair contractors, for example, what was originally a simple case of parking lot crack sealing becomes pothole repair or worse, total asphalt replacement. It’s always going to be wiser to get ahead of the issue at hand for the sake of your lot and budget.
Fixing cracks in your asphalt in a timely manner also:
- Stops water from penetrating the sub-base.
- Prevents freeze/thaw movement.
- Minimizes crack growth.
- Keeps dirt, sand, and vegetation in the crack and not throughout your parking lot.
Preventing the Growth of Parking Lot Cracks
Using our targeted asphalt crack repair maintenance program, we can help you prolong the life of your pavement not only for employees, but visiting customers as well. Our approach to filling cracks in parking lots involves:
- Small cracks are widened to ensure proper adhesion.
- Cracks and surrounding areas are blown out with compressed air.
- Prior to filling cracks, we use a 2,800-degree heat lance to clean all dirt, debris, and vegetation. At the same time, it dries any moisture, leaving a clean dry etched surface for the ideal sealant adhesion.
- Backfill deep cracks when needed.
- Fill and seal cracks with a hot rubberized sealant that meets or exceeds federal specifications.
- Broadcasting of silica sand over rubber when needed.
The final product is a flexible crack sealed from dirt and water that will expand and contract with the extreme range of temperatures. The Asphalt Management Inc. system will save you money by adding years to the life of your pavement.
