Crack Filling by Prime Asphalt Gives Your Pavement New Life
Crack filling involves filling cracks in asphalt pavements to prevent moisture infiltration, limiting damage caused by water penetration. It’s a preventative measure aimed at prolonging pavement life by addressing minor cracks, while crack sealing involves a more comprehensive approach, addressing larger and deeper cracks.
Why does asphalt pavement get cracked?
Several factors contribute to pavement cracking, including environmental elements, vehicle loads, and aging. Fatigue cracks, a common type, result from repeated loading and unloading, causing the pavement to weaken and develop hairline cracks.
Our Crack Repair Process
Our crack filling process starts by thoroughly cleaning out the area to remove debris and prepare the surface for treatment. Next, hot asphalt crack filler is applied, ensuring a complete fill that prevents moisture intrusion and further pavement deterioration. Unlike crack sealing services, our focus lies particularly on addressing fatigue cracks to fortify the pavement structure effectively.
