Why Use Crack Filler on Asphalt Driveways?

Crack filler prevents water from entering the base layers of asphalt, stopping early deterioration and saving on long-term repairs.

Problems from Neglect

  • Water penetration weakens the subbase and leads to potholes.
  • Cracks expand with freeze-thaw cycles, causing costly damage.
  • Weeds grow through gaps, worsening surface failure.

Best Practices

  • Seal cracks early to block moisture and slow oxidation.
  • Choose compatible crack sealant and follow temperature guidelines.
  • Inspect driveways seasonally and reapply as needed before sealcoating.

Regular crack filling every season keeps your asphalt stable, watertight, and visually appealing.
