Asphalt is an investment in your property's functionality and appearance, and crack sealing is a critical maintenance step to protect that investment. In Oklahoma City's fluctuating weather, from the blistering summer heat to the icy grip of winter, asphalt expanses constantly expand and contract, which inevitably leads to cracking. These cracks, if left unsealed, can become the starting point for a range of problems:

Water Intrusion

The primary reason to seal asphalt cracks is to prevent water from seeping into the base layer, where it can cause the material to swell and break apart. This can create potholes and other structural damage over time.

Debris Accumulation

Cracks can collect debris, which impedes proper water drainage and accelerates surface degradation, leading to more extensive damage that can be expensive to repair.

Safety

Cracks in your asphalt can pose a trip hazard, potentially leading to accidents and liability issues on your property.

Vegetation Control

Unsealed cracks allow for grass and weeds to grow in these cracks. While unsightly, the growth of these weeds can also put upward pressure on the asphalt, causing it to fail sooner.

Longevity

By sealing cracks promptly, you can extend the life of your asphalt, delaying the need for more extensive and costly resurfacing or replacement projects.

PavementPro is adept at addressing these concerns with professional crack sealing services, providing a proactive approach to asphalt maintenance that helps to maintain its structural integrity, appearance, and safety for years to come.

Crack sealing is a precise operation that requires professional expertise and the right equipment to ensure a lasting solution. At PavementPro, we employ the hot rubber crack sealing process, which is designed to offer a durable and flexible seal that accommodates the natural expansion and contraction of asphalt. Here's how we do it:

Cleaning the Crack: The process begins with thorough crack preparation. We use high-powered blowers and brushes to remove all debris, vegetation, and loose particles from the crack. This ensures that the sealant adheres properly to the asphalt.

Heating the Sealant: We use a specially formulated rubberized asphalt sealant heated to a specific temperature. This makes the sealant liquid enough to pour yet viscous enough to fill the cracks completely.

Application: The hot rubber sealant is carefully applied into the cleaned cracks, filling them from the bottom up to ensure a complete seal. The hot rubber is designed to penetrate deep into the crack, bonding to the walls of the asphalt and providing a seamless repair.

Sealing: Once the crack is filled, we smooth over the surface to create a flat, flush seal. This prevents water and debris from entering the crack and ensures a clean, professional finish.

Quality Check: After the sealant has cooled, our professionals inspect the area to ensure the cracks have been completely sealed and that the surface is ready for traffic.

The hot rubber crack sealing process is ideal for Oklahoma City's diverse climate, providing a weather-resistant barrier that can withstand thermal cycling from hot summers to cold winters.
