Asphalt Crack Sealing

Oxidation leads to the drying out of your asphalt, causing it to crack. These cracks first form on the asphalt surface and work their way down to its base. The most efficient way of preventing your asphalt from shrinkage cracks is by seal coating it. Sealcoat protects the asphalt surface from damages caused by water and UV rays. It also helps in restoring oils and increasing the flexibility of your asphalt.

Heavyweights on a soft or eroded base cause crack to form underneath the asphalt. Stress cracks are mostly visible on the edges of your driveway. For such cracks, getting an asphalt patch may be a better option.

An asphalt parking lot with a weak foundation can easily develop cracks. Linear cracks begin on the surface of the asphalt and run to its centerline. Over time, continuous pressure on your asphalt pavement can lead to the development of linear cracks.

Reflection cracks are a product of existing cracks. They are caused by the expansion and contraction of the damaged overlay.

Potholes are simply an enlargement of existing cracks. When left unrepaired, cracks allow water penetration that erodes the asphalt base resulting in dips on your pavement. Also, as vehicles drive on cracked parts of your parking lot, pieces of the pavement keep breaking off, leaving behind potholes.

If you delete the line into the last like this and then create a new line from there it creates nice even spacing between all lines.

These cracks are caused by a continuous flow of traffic and the weight of heavy vehicles on your asphalt pavement. These cracks appear like ripples on the surface. They mostly occur in parking places or areas with stop signs due to the pressure transmitted by vehicles when drivers use their breaks.
