Commercial Crack Filling Services

You can only fill straight-lined cracks as opposed to alligator cracks. Once your pavement starts to look “alligatored” or “spiderwebbed” it should be removed and replaced. Read our blog post here to read about the 8 different types of asphalt cracks.

Alligator cracks indicate subbase failure in the pavement. This means that areas of “alligatored” or “spiderwebbed” cracking will need to be removed and replaced.

Crack filling material sets up in just a few minutes, meaning there is very minimal interruption to your parking lot as we complete the work.

Re-opening of parking lot cracks can occur during the freeze-thaw cycles throughout winter, because the cold weather and temperature changes cause excessive contraction and expansion to occur.

We start our crack filling process by applying PennDOT-approved, rubberized crack filling material at 300 degrees F using 400 gallon oil jacketed kettles and pressurized wands. Our crews blow all cracks out with 185 CFM compressed air prior to filling the cracks, to ensure a perfect seal. Our experienced crews crack fill and joint seal over 3 million feet of cracks each year!

No, you will still see the crackfiller through the sealcoat, as it takes on a darker color.

Crack filling will save you significant money in the long-run, because it prevents further damage to your pavement that can lead to very expensive parking lot repairs (potholes, alligator cracking, subbase failure, etc.) Crack filling services are the MOST cost-effective pavement maintenance solution to increase your parking lot’s lifespan.

Once cracks have begun to occur in the pavement, the property owner is officially “on the clock” with regard to instituting a crack filling program. You should repair cracks within one season of their first appearance. When your cracks grow to more than 1/8″, they need to be addressed immediately. The key to protecting your pavement is being proactive.

Failure to repair asphalt cracks soon enough can lead to more severe damage, like potholes, which will cost more to repair and may require you to repave sections of your parking lot. As a property owner, creating a pavement maintenance plan helps improve the longevity of your parking lot and reduces the chance of unexpected damage.

Due to Mother Nature, the formation of pavement cracks cannot be avoided. The sun dries out the pavement, creating small areas for water to seep through. During the winter months, this water will freeze, expand and cause pavement cracks to form and grow larger. If left untreated, pavement cracks will eventually lead to very costly damage, such as accelerated deterioration, tenting, raveling and potholes.

This means that pavement cracks MUST be routinely maintained to avoid deterioration and costly repairs. On the other hand, if pavement cracks are not properly filled, they will only continue to get worse and eventually destroy your pavement.

Our team of highly experienced professionals is ready to keep your pavement in the best possible condition with our advanced equipment and highly engineered materials.

We use a highly engineered, PennDOT-approved, rubberized crack filler that is designed to expand and contract with pavement cracks. Our crack filler is formulated with asphaltic resins, synthetic polymeric rubber, plasticizers, stabilizers and a blend of organic reinforcing fillers. This material has a high resiliency to freeze/thaw cycles and has proven to provide excellent results under extremely varying conditions.

Our crack sealing material can be used on roadways, highways, parking lots, driveways and airport runways. It meets the following specifications:

• ASTM D-6690, Type I
• ASTM D-1190
• AASHTO M-173
• FAA P-605
• FED SPEC SS-S-164

At Daniel B. Krieg, we use 185 CFM compressed air to thoroughly clean each crack, creating a clean reservoir for the sealant to bond. We’ll walk the length of the entire crack, ensuring that every inch of the area is free from dirt and debris.

We then fill the cracks using a pressurized wand with PennDOT-approved rubberized crack and joint sealant. Our highly skilled professionals make sure that the entire crack area receives the correct amount of filler and a uniform sealant layer.

Unlike our competitors, we do not just “overband” your pavement cracks. Our process is PennDOT-approved and ensures the longest-lasting seal. After we apply the sealant, your pavement will be ready for use in minutes.

We use only the most advanced crack and joint filling equipment:

• Crafco Super EZ1500 Units (400 Gallon Capacity) with Compressor, Auto Loader and Heated Hose
• All Crack and Joint Filling trucks in our fleet are equipped with 185 CFM utility air compressors

Typically the winter months of November through March are off-peak for pavement maintenance and crack filling services. The reason for this is low temperatures, snow/moisture, salt and snow plows, etc., which can make operations difficult. We typically start crack filling in April for the best results. The conditions in which crack filling is completed are crucial to ensure a long-lasting finished product. Pavement cracks must be completely dry in order for the material to adhere to the pavement.
