Safeguard Your Investment With Crack Sealing Services
Cracks are inevitable in all kinds of asphalt pavement from commercial parking lots to residential walkways and municipal streets. Without proper treatment, they escalate into more severe issues like potholes and sub-base failure that can lead to expensive asphalt repairs!
Bob Muldoon Paving emphasizes crack repair as a crucial step in pavement preservation. Unsealed cracks lead to potholes within three years, whereas only 1 percent of sealed cracks result in potholes in the same timeframe. This treatment prevents moisture and debris from infiltrating the pavement, extending its lifespan by three to five years.

When Should You Seal Cracks?
Ideal for cracks wider than ⅛ inch, sealing is best done in spring or fall when temperatures are optimal. It can be paired with other preservation treatments like chip seals or overlays, provided the seal has cured for at least two weeks.

Our Process
Crack sealing, a vital asphalt preservation method, demands meticulous surface preparation, including cleaning and drying of the paved surface to maximize the adhesion of the sealants. Routing, if needed, involves grinding the edges so the materials stick. When selecting the right product, our asphalt contractor considers climate, characteristics, type of cracking, and pavement conditions. Proper heating and agitation of the sealant, along with suitable application techniques, prevent degradation and optimize effectiveness.

Other Methods for Sealing Cracks in Asphalt
Another method for fixing cracking paved surfaces is called “filling” as opposed to “sealing.” Crack filling, a cost-effective but temporary solution, suits non-expanding cracks. It involves materials like liquid asphalt, suitable for milder climates. In contrast, sealing, a pricier yet long-lasting approach, employs specially prepared hot-pour rubberized sealants, providing up to 8 years of protection. The decision hinges on balancing initial investment with long-term benefits, considering the pavement’s specific conditions and owner’s preferences.
