Asphalt cracks naturally develop due to exposure to outdoor elements and daily wear and tear. It is important to be mindful of the common causes of asphalt cracks, so you can best protect your parking lot or driveway.
Causes of Asphalt Cracks
Why Use Asphalt Crack Filler?
If left unfilled, cracks in your asphalt will widen and deepen over time. This leads to widespread cracking, potholes, sub-grade erosion, and pavement degradation. Simply put, without preventative maintenance, cracks will eventually ruin the quality and shorten the lifespan of your parking lot or driveway. The good news is that a crack filling treatment from NYS Enterprises is an easy, cost-effective way to seal cracks, prevent moisture penetration, and stop any damage from worsening.

Crack Filling FAQs
How often should asphalt cracks be filled?
Ideally, you should inspect your asphalt every six months for cracks and have them filled if necessary. On average, at NYS Enterprises, we recommend filling cracks at least once a year. Our expert NYS paving contractors will advise you on the best course of action during your inspection.
What time of the year should asphalt cracks be filled?
The best time to fill asphalt cracks is in the spring and summer (April – October). This is because it is hard to apply the sealant when the asphalt surface is wet or covered in water. The filler material also dries quicker in warmer temperatures.
What types of asphalt cracks can be filled?
Only straight line cracks can be filled with asphalt filler. This includes edge cracks, slippage cracks, and transverse cracks. Unfortunately, alligator cracks require more than a filler treatment to be sealed. Luckily, NYS Enterprises can help you find a permanent solution for alligator cracking, so don’t hesitate to contact us today!
How long does asphalt filler take to dry?
On average, asphalt filler takes 30 minutes to an hour to dry. However, it does take 1-3 days for it to properly cure. Keep in mind that this will also depend on your location’s temperature and how widespread your cracking is.
