When cracks start to form in your asphalt, then it's time for some hot rubber crack filling.
Applying hot rubber crack filler to your asphalt will help fix cracks before they can turn into potholes, saving you money and extending the life of your asphalt.
Hot rubber crack filler is a flexible, commercial-grade product that begins as a solid, rubbery block, but is melted into liquid and applied directly into cracks in the asphalt. As the liquid dries, it solidifies and prevents further moisture penetration to the asphalt. This works extremely well for areas with high volumes of traffic.
There are a few different reasons why cracks form in asphalt:
A poor foundation
Putting down layers of asphalt that are too thick/ not thick enough
Improperly blended asphalt
Tree roots
The freeze-thaw cycle
Earth movement
Heavy vehicles
When is the time to carry out repairs?
If cracks are left unchecked, then it allows water to enter the asphalt’s foundation which will only lead to further damage. Asphalt deterioration becomes evident rather quickly after an extended period of snowy and icy weather, as water that has entered into the asphalt's foundation freezes, expanding the joints and cracks, and then when it thaws, it causes blacktop to crack and crumble.
This happens even more so for parking lots and driveways that haven’t been properly seal-coated. The best way to increase the lifespan of your asphalt is to carry out regular inspections & maintenance to your asphalt and to get any cracks filled in as soon as they appear. Delaying or failing to carry out this work will only cause more damage and could eventually lead to you spending more money than you should to replace your damaged asphalt.
By applying hot rubber crack filler to cracks in your asphalt, you'll be extending your pavement surface’s life expectancy by up to 50 percent, at an extremely lower cost compared to the likes of asphalt patching or reconstruction.
The first and most important part in applying hot rubber crack filler is the preparation. To get the benefits of a long lasting repair, the hot rubber crack filler needs a clean, solid surface in which to stick to as any debris or weeds in the crack will degrade the repair.
Hot rubber crack filler is applied at a heat of 350-400°F to ensure that it penetrates deep into the crack and the walls of the crack, to help ensure a superior bond.
