Crack Filling
At Asphalt Care Inc, we specialize in professional crack filling services across Fort Wayne and surrounding Indiana communities. Cracks may look small, but they allow water and debris to penetrate the surface, leading to potholes, base erosion, and costly structural failures. Timely sealing protects pavement from premature deterioration and keeps it safe, durable, and attractive.
Effective Crack Filling for Long-Term Protection
Sealing cracks is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to extend pavement life. By stopping water infiltration and blocking debris from widening gaps, our process preserves the base beneath the surface and helps property owners avoid expensive reconstruction. Whether it’s a residential driveway or a commercial lot, our crews apply targeted treatments designed to strengthen the surface for years of use.
Extend Pavement Life with Targeted Repairs
Our asphalt crack repair process follows a proven sequence:
-
Thorough Cleaning: Compressed air removes dust, debris, and moisture from the cracks.
-
Obstruction Removal: Vegetation or stubborn impediments are cleared to ensure proper adhesion.
-
Sealant Application: A hot-applied, rubberized joint sealant that exceeds federal specifications is placed into the cleaned crack.
-
Enhanced Bonding: Light aggregate may be added to reinforce adhesion and durability under heavy traffic.
The result is a flexible, waterproof seal that expands and contracts with temperature changes, preventing cracks from reopening.
Why Crack Filling Matters in Indiana
Local weather plays a major role in pavement damage. Freeze–thaw cycles push water deeper into the base, where it expands and contracts, breaking down the surface from within. Left untreated, small cracks multiply, causing potholes and uneven surfaces. By sealing early, property owners avoid accelerated damage and maintain safer conditions for vehicles and pedestrians.
Safety, Liability, and Value
Crack filling is more than just maintenance — it’s protection for property owners. Smooth surfaces reduce trip hazards, prevent vehicle damage, and minimize liability risks. For businesses, maintaining a professional-looking parking lot reflects positively on customers and tenants. For homeowners, a well-kept driveway adds curb appeal and resale value. Regular care delays the need for resurfacing or replacement, saving thousands over the life of the pavement.
Residential and Commercial Applications
-
Driveways: Sealing cracks keeps residential surfaces safe from moisture intrusion and adds years of reliable use.
-
Parking Lots: Heavy traffic and oil spills create stress points that must be sealed to maintain safety and ADA compliance.
-
Industrial Sites: Continuous vehicle loads demand preventive care, and routine crack sealing minimizes downtime from larger failures.
By tailoring our service to each type of property, we help extend performance while keeping costs predictable.
Part of a Complete Maintenance Plan
Crack filling is most effective when combined with other asphalt services. Pairing it with sealcoating creates a layered defense against UV rays, oil, and weather. Milling and overlays can refresh larger areas when needed, while regular inspections ensure problems are caught early. Treating pavement as a managed asset rather than a one-time project delivers the best long-term return.
