Asphalt Repair

Even if the asphalt is the correct thickness, if the prep site beneath it was not done properly, cracking can occur. A solid base is required for asphalt. The site must be excavated, leveled, and filled with the proper materials to provide the requisite stability.

Weakening paver seams might also cause cracking. Every parking lot contains seams because asphalt cannot be laid down in one single layer. Even a seasoned paving business will struggle to build the joints. Weather, equipment type, lot size and shape, and other factors can all have an impact on joint strength.

Call us for asphalt crack repair if you have cracks in your Idaho parking lot. Because of our superior equipment, the work we accomplish will last. To promote adherence to the repair material, we employ a special air pump that pushes dust and dirt out of the gaps. We apply the material with extremely high heat, melting the crack sides together and filling up all empty spots. As a result, there is a tight bind that no moisture can penetrate.

Asphalt crack repair is a common DIY project for homes and small business owners, but it's not always a wise choice. Repairing a few minor cracks in your driveway yourself is probably not going to hurt you much, but it also might not help much either.

The risks are higher if you own a bigger or commercial land, though. Your time and effort would likely be wasted if you attempted to complete a task for which you lacked the necessary equipment and expertise. You might not be aware that the cracks were not completely sealed, and moisture may still be leaking into your asphalt parking lot even if the job appeared great when it was finished.

However, most asphalt cracks as a result of poor upkeep. When your Idaho parking lot is originally installed, your contractor will most likely include a sealer as part of the operation. However, these do not remain forever and must be reapplied on a regular basis. Nonetheless, if there is no emergency, the task, along with many others, may be delayed.

Meanwhile, little fractures begin to form and slowly grow larger. Slowly is the essential word here, because the damage isn't visible straight away - it's subtle. And the fissures aren't just unsightly; they also allow precipitation and snowmelt to penetrate your lot's surface, degrading the substrate and jeopardizing the lot's structure.
