What Causes Surface Cracks in Asphalt?
Asphalt is made out of aggregates like crushed rock, sand, and gravel, and is held together with a binder. The binder is liquid substance that gives the material flexibility to expand and contract when the temperature changes. Over time, UV rays and temperature fluctuations cause the asphalt to dry out, which makes it more brittle.
Once the asphalt is dried out, pressure from vehicles and additional exposure can cause surface cracks to form. Water can get into the cracks, and as it heats and cools with temperature changes, it can widen the cracks and cause significant and rapid deterioration. Before more significant damage occurs, including buckled pavement and potholes that require extensive, expensive repairs, it’s important to repair the voids with a commercial grade crack sealant or filler.
What Is Asphalt Crack Filler Made From?
Asphalt crack filler is made to be poured when hot, and consists of a rubberized asphalt emulsion that is a liquid when heated and solid when cool. Because it offers the durability of asphalt while still being water resistant and flexible, it’s better for larger areas of damage.
How Are Cracks in Asphalt Repaired ?
To ensure the crack is filled or sealed properly, it’s important to not take any shortcuts or skip steps. First, the crack is cleaned out of any loose gravel, debris, or weeds, and any broken chunks or loose pieces or asphalt are removed. For smaller cracks, the crack sealer is carefully poured into the crack and a roller goes over to smooth out the sealant.
