As the seasons change, asphalt expands and contracts. This movement causes cracks. If cracks are not sealed, they will allow water to flow through the asphalt to the base. The base will become saturated and will not be able to support the asphalt above. More crack will form, allowing more water to enter the base. Without maintenance, this cycle will destroy your asphalt. Crack seal seals cracks from water. Our crack seal is made of rubberized asphalt, which expands and contracts with the crack. Crack sealing is one of the most important things you can do to extend your asphalt life.
