What are Crack Sealing Services by Onyx Asphalt Inc.?
Crack sealing involves applying a flexible sealant to cracks to prevent moisture from penetrating the surface. This helps to slow deterioration and maintain pavement for years to come. Serving Southwest Florida, including Bonita Springs, Naples, and the Gulf Coast, we’re dedicated to keeping asphalt in top condition.
Crack Sealing Versus Filling
- Crack Filling is a short-term repair method that uses materials to prevent water and debris from entering non-working cracks. It’s most effective for cracks like alligator or those wider than 1.5 inches but is typically a temporary solution until more extensive repairs are needed.
- Crack Sealing is a long-term preventative maintenance technique using flexible materials that move with the pavement during temperature changes. Ideal for working cracks over 1/8 inch, it’s best applied in moderate weather and prevents water intrusion, extending pavement life.
The Benefits of Crack Sealing
- It prevents moisture intrusion, leading to severe damage like potholes or base failure.
- Extends the lifespan of your parking lot or driveway by several years with timely maintenance.
- Saves money on costly, more extensive repairs by addressing issues early.
- It can be combined with other treatments, such as sealcoating or overlays, to maximize pavement longevity further.
Proper Preparation and Application
Our process begins with thorough surface preparation—removing debris and ensuring a clean area for better sealant adhesion. Routing the cracks may be necessary for certain jobs to create a reservoir that improves the sealant’s effectiveness and longevity.
We use high-quality sealants designed for Florida’s climate. The material is heated and applied at the optimal temperature (between 380°F and 410°F) to ensure it penetrates deep into the crack. After application, the sealant is carefully smoothed over the crack to create a durable, waterproof barrier.
