When should I consider asphalt routing and crack repair? If you noticed issues with your asphalt after the snow melted, it’s time to start looking into repairs. Otherwise, over time and with continued weather changes, these cracks will only become larger, more dangerous, and increasingly expensive to fix.
How does asphalt routing and crack repair work? Asphalt routing refers to the process of using a machine to grind a crack to a consistent depth and width with clean edges and then filling the crack with hot, rubberized crack sealant to protect the crack from filling with water or cracking any further. In order to work effectively, though, cracks typically should be less than one inch thick or deep.
What are the benefits of asphalt routing and crack repair? In addition to improving the safety of your asphalt surface, it increases the life of your asphalt surface. That saves you money, both in the short- and long-term. After routing and crack repair, you may buy a few more quality years with your asphalt surface before it requires a complete resealing or resurfacing.
