Q: I have several cracks in my pavement. How should they be treated? |
|
A: First determine the age and overall condition of your asphalt pavement. You don't want to invest too much money into something that may have to be replaced in a year or two. As a general rule, cracks ALWAYS need to be filled in order protect the asphalt surface from being damaged due to frost heaves. Hot, rubberized filler is the best for filling cracks . However, on residential asphalt driveways, liquid crack filler is a good alternative because it has a less obtrusive look and its not subjected to highly repetitive traffic; like a parking lot. Keep in mind that cracks will always come back over time.
