O
ur sealer is a coal tar emulsion that is state & federally approved. We have a 350 gallon agitated unit that applies the material at 86 lbs. of pressure. A sand mix and rubberized latex additive is added to the coal tar mix. This keeps the sand in place and acts as a binder to the sealer and the asphalt. It also gives the sealer more elasticity. The edges are squeegeed by hand. All areas are thoroughly cleaned with high pressure blowers and a vacuum truck. A two coat application is recommended on commercial lots.

The crackfill we use is state & federally approved. It is virgin rubber that is melted in an agitated double boiler unit to a temperature of 390° and then applied to the cleaned cracks. All cracks are cleaned with an air compressor. We strongly recommend filling cracks to prevent deterioration of the asphalt.

Sealcoating helps to avoid frequent hot mix overlays.


The "IN's" and the "OUT's" as well as the "WHY's, WHEN's, HOW's, WITH WHAT's" & the "SHOULD I's"

Cracks in asphalt pavements are primarily caused by shrinkage. Asphalt pavements are made for approximately 94% sand and rock and 6% asphalt. Standard asphalt is very susceptible to the elements. Sun, wind, rain, and heat act to oxidize asphalt causing it to harden and shrink. When this happens the pavement breaks at its weakest point first. Joints along curb lines and cold paving joints are usually the first to go. Block cracking is also common. The pavement cracks at regular intervals, usually traversely every 30 to 90 feet across the roadway. Other causes of asphalt cracks include a weak sub-base and vehicle traffic too heavy for the design of the pavement.

Is sealing cracks cost effective?
Proper crack repair procedures can double the life of most asphalt pavements. A surface which is five to ten years old will usually need 1 ton of sealant per lane mile and will last up to ten years.

When should I seal cracks?
The sooner, the better. Any crack in the pavement will allow moisture to penetrate to the subsurface. The goal of a good pavement maintenance program should be to keep the moisture from entering the asphalt pavement.
