Crack Filling Services the Greater Columbus Area and Central Ohio
Hot melt crack filling is the best method for asphalt crack repair. This technique involves heating a specialized filler to a molten state, allowing it to flow easily into the cracks and form a tight, durable bond.
Here’s how the process works:
- Preparation: The first step is to clean the area, removing any debris, dirt, or vegetation to ensure a strong bond between the filler and the pavement.
- Application: The hot filler is then applied, seeping into the gaps, filling them completely.
- Curing: Once applied, the crack filler cools and hardens quickly, forming a flexible seal that can expand and contract with the surrounding pavement. This flexibility is crucial for adapting to temperature changes and preventing further damage.
Types of Asphalt Cracks We Address
This repair method is effective for various types of damage. For example:
- Fatigue: Also known as alligator or crocodile cracking, these interconnected cracks resemble the skin of a crocodile. Repetitive traffic loads typically cause them and can be effectively sealed with hot filler.
- Transverse and Longitudinal: These cracks run perpendicular or parallel to the pavement’s centerline and can result from temperature changes or asphalt aging.
- Edge Cracking: Found near the edges of the paved area, these cracks are often caused by poor drainage or insufficient support. Filler can reinforce these areas and prevent further deterioration.
