Crack repair prevents water from entering into the sub-base of the
asphalt under the crack. When water enters cracks or is improperly
drained, it softens the supporting sub-base and leads to alligators and eventual
pothole formation. Winter accelerates this process due to freeze
/ thaw processes where water that is trapped in the
asphalt
sub-base freezes, expands, and pushes the pavement up causing
frost heaves. When warmer weather arrives, thawing causes the
sub-base to contract and soften, leaving a void. Without support,
the
pavement ultimately caves in.
Hot rubber crack repair is the best process available today
for
sealing cracks and preventing water seepage and frost heaves.
The rubber is a highly elastic material that expands and contracts
according to weather conditions.
Cracks are cleaned and blown
or routed out, prior to applying
sealant.
