WHY crackfill?
Cracks in asphalt are not just cosmetic flaws — they are the beginning of pavement failure.
The moment a crack forms, water begins penetrating below the surface. Once moisture reaches the base layer, especially in Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw climate, it expands in the winter and contracts in warmer temperatures. This constant movement weakens the foundation and leads to potholes, spreading cracks, and structural damage.
Rubberized hot crack filling is the first and most important step in protecting your asphalt.
1. Stops Water Intrusion
Water is the #1 cause of asphalt deterioration.
Rubberized crack filler seals open cracks, preventing water from reaching the base layer underneath. By blocking moisture, you dramatically reduce the risk of base erosion, freeze damage, and pothole formation.
2. Prevents Cracks from Spreading
Small cracks quickly turn into large structural problems if left untreated. Vehicle weight, temperature changes, and weather exposure cause cracks to widen and multiply.
Hot rubberized crack filler bonds directly to the asphalt and expands and contracts with temperature shifts — helping stop cracks from growing and connecting.
3. Extends Pavement Life
Crack filling is preventative maintenance.
By sealing cracks early, you slow down the deterioration process and extend the overall lifespan of your driveway or parking lot. Addressing cracks now can prevent thousands of dollars in future repairs or full replacement.
4. Prepares the Surface for Sealcoating
Sealcoating alone cannot properly protect asphalt if cracks are left open.
Filling cracks before sealcoating ensures a smoother, more uniform finish and prevents water from penetrating beneath the protective layer. This allows the sealcoat to perform as intended and last longer.
Crack filling and sealcoating work together as a complete asphalt maintenance system.
Why Rubberized Hot Crack Filling?
We use heated, rubberized crack filler — not cold-pour products from a bucket.
Rubberized crack filler:
Heats to high temperatures for strong adhesion
Flexes with temperature changes
Bonds securely to the asphalt walls
Withstands vehicle traffic
Provides long-lasting protection
This creates a durable, flexible seal designed to handle Pennsylvania weather conditions year-round.
Protect Your Asphalt Before It Fails
Cracks never fix themselves — they only grow. Early intervention with professional rubberized crack filling protects your pavement, prevents costly repairs, and keeps your asphalt in strong condition for years to come.
