Crack filling uses a rubberized material designed to seal joints and cracks against moisture infiltration into the sub-grade. It is the single highest-value maintenance treatment in pavement care, because water reaching the base is the mechanism behind the majority of asphalt failures — and crack filling costs a small fraction of the resurfacing it postpones.
Cracks are not a cosmetic issue. They are the entry point. Closing them is the difference between a lot that needs an overlay in a decade and one that needs reconstruction.

View Service AreaAny crack wide enough to admit water is worth sealing, and that threshold is narrower than most people expect. Very fine surface checking is generally addressed by sealcoating; defined cracks that hold a card edge should be filled. Waiting until cracks are visibly wide means water has already been reaching the base for seasons.
Properly cleaned and hot-applied sealant holds for years, but pavement continues to move with temperature, so crack filling is a recurring maintenance item rather than a permanent fix. Commercial and association property is typically on a defined cycle as part of a pavement management plan.
It has the widest working window of the pavement treatments, but the crack must be clean and dry for the sealant to bond, and very cold conditions affect application. The practical season runs from spring through fall in northern Illinois.
Yes. Crack sealant sits as a visible line on the surface. On appearance-sensitive property, crack filling is typically followed by sealcoating, which unifies the surface color and makes the repairs far less conspicuous.
