Warning Signs
Water is the enemy of asphalt. Every crack is an entry point — water seeps in, freezes, expands, and destroys the sub-base beneath. Sealing cracks early is the most cost-effective maintenance you can do.
Hardware store cold-pour crack fillers are a temporary fix at best. They sit on the surface, shrink as they cure, and fail within one freeze-thaw cycle. Many homeowners apply them every year with no lasting result.
Professional hot-pour rubberized sealant is heated to 350–400°F, flows deep into the crack, and bonds permanently to the asphalt walls. It remains flexible through temperature changes — expanding and contracting with the pavement instead of cracking.
Our Services
Rubberized hot-pour sealant flows deep into cracks and bonds permanently to asphalt — far superior to cold-pour products that shrink and fail within months.
For wider cracks, we rout (widen) the crack to a uniform shape before filling — creating a better bond surface and longer-lasting seal.
Upstate NY winters are brutal. Sealed cracks prevent water infiltration that freezes, expands, and destroys your asphalt from the inside out.
Web-pattern cracking signals sub-base failure. We assess whether crack filling or full-depth patching is the right solution for your situation.
Cracks along driveway edges are sealed and reinforced to prevent further deterioration and maintain a clean, defined border.
Crack filling before sealcoating extends pavement life by 5–10 years. We offer combined crack fill + sealcoat packages for maximum protection.
Common Questions
Hot crack filling uses a rubberized asphalt sealant heated to 350–400°F and poured directly into cracks. The heat allows it to flow deep and bond tightly to the asphalt walls — unlike cold-pour products that sit on the surface and fail quickly.
Properly applied hot-pour crack filling lasts 3–5 years in upstate NY conditions. Combined with sealcoating, the overall pavement life can be extended by 5–10 years.
Crack filling works best in temperatures above 50°F. We recommend scheduling in spring or early fall before the ground freezes. We do not recommend crack filling over frozen or wet surfaces.
Yes — always crack fill first. Sealcoating over open cracks traps water underneath and the cracks reappear within weeks. We always crack fill as part of our sealcoating preparation process.
