Cracks naturally develop due to exposure to the elements – When you neglect the cracking it quickly develops into much more serious and costly repairs. Crackfilling is the first line of defense. Your defense is important – and that’s why you need NYS Enterprises protecting your asphalt!
Water is the number one cause of asphalt damage. When water penetrates asphalt through cracks, it can cause potholes, as well as other forms of damage to the asphalt and sub-grade. By sealing cracks early on, you can prevent larger, more costly repairs to your asphalt in the future.
Erosion can also occur as rocks, sand and other sediment find their way into the cracks and create stress on the asphalt which leads to greater crack growth.
We recommend filling all crack 1/8″ or wider with a hot rubberized material. This helps to prevent cracks from becoming worse by keeping out moisture. We recommend having your lot checked for new cracks every 6 months so you can stay on top of it and help prevent expensive repairs in the future. It is a very inexpensive way to combat asphalt damage. We throughly clean all cracks in your parking lot and then apply a hot rubberized crack sealing material with a squeegee to ensure that the crack is protected from moisture penetration.
Your asphalt should be checked for cracks every six months and maintenanced regularly to ensure its longevity and durability. Regular maintenance is the best way to protect the investment that is your asphalt and concrete surfaces. It is important to us that your asphalt receives the best possible care to ensure its integrity and durability. Sealing cracks regularly will save you the headache of dealing with larger asphalt issues in the future.
