Crack Seal.
Cracks happen. When they do, it’s best to deal with them quickly and efficiently. Treating the affected area with a simple sealant can help prevent serious pavement issues from happening down the road. It’s the most cost-effective way to prevent accelerating deterioration.
Process
After preparing the cracked area, a mixture of asphalt cement and reinforcing fibers is placed in and over the crack. This prevents moisture and incompressible materials from entering the cracks and making them worse.
Benefits

- Treated roads can be opened to traffic quickly
- Extends road life by 2 to 5 years
