Why It Matters

Crack filling is the single most cost-effective asphalt maintenance strategy. Our hot-pour rubberized sealant bonds to crack walls, flexes with seasonal temperature swings, and prevents water from reaching the sub-base where the real damage occurs.

Rubberized Sealant

Commercial-grade rubberized asphalt sealant creates a flexible, waterproof bond that outlasts cold-pour alternatives.

Water Intrusion Prevention

Seals the primary entry point for water that causes base erosion, frost heave, and pothole formation.

Thermal Flexibility

Rubberized material expands and contracts with temperature swings without cracking or pulling away.

Rapid Cure Time

Hot-pour sealant cools and sets within minutes, allowing traffic back on the surface the same day.

Our Process

01

Routing & Cleaning

Cracks are routed to create a uniform reservoir, then cleaned with high-pressure air to remove debris.

02

Debris Removal

Compressed air and wire brushing ensure crack walls are completely clean for maximum sealant adhesion.

03

Hot-Pour Application

Rubberized sealant is heated to 400°F and precision-applied into each crack using a pour pot and wand.

04

Leveling & Finish

Excess material is squeegeed flush with the pavement surface for a smooth, professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hot-pour and cold-pour crack filling?

Hot-pour rubberized sealant is heated to 400°F and bonds directly to crack walls, creating a flexible, waterproof seal that lasts 3-5 years. Cold-pour products are applied at room temperature and typically last only 1-2 seasons. We exclusively use hot-pour for all DFW commercial projects.

When is the best time to fill asphalt cracks in Dallas-Fort Worth?

The ideal temperature for hot-pour crack filling is between 40°F and 90°F. In the DFW area, spring and fall provide optimal conditions. However, we can work year-round by adjusting application techniques for the Texas climate.

How wide of a crack can hot-pour sealant fill?

Our hot-pour rubberized sealant is effective on cracks up to 1.5 inches wide. For wider cracks or alligator cracking, we recommend patching or full-depth repair. We assess every crack during our free on-site evaluation.

Can I drive on the parking lot the same day after crack filling?

Yes. Hot-pour rubberized sealant cools and sets within minutes of application. In most cases, your parking lot can be reopened to traffic the same day, which is why commercial property managers across DFW prefer this method.
