Asphalt Crack Sealing: Essential Pavement Maintenance
At Marrs Construction Paving, we provide expert asphalt crack sealing services as part of our comprehensive pavement maintenance solutions. Crack sealing is a highly effective method for protecting asphalt surfaces from further deterioration by sealing working cracks that expand and contract due to temperature changes, traffic, and natural wear. In this method, our experienced paving contractors use a very flexible sealant to fill in pavement gaps.
Benefits of Crack Sealing
Whether you have a large parking lot or a residential driveway, this maintenance method will add life to your paved area and value to your property. With breaks filled in, your pavement will see the following benefits:
- Prevents Water Damage: The sealant keeps water from seeping into the asphalt, where it can erode the base and cause potholes or further cracking.
- Extends Pavement Life: By addressing cracks early, you prevent minor issues from escalating into expensive asphalt repairs or full-scale replacement.
- Improves Safety: Smooth, sealed, paved surfaces reduce hazards for pedestrians and vehicles.
- Cost-Effective: It’s a budget-friendly alternative to more extensive repairs, saving you money in the long run.

Sealing vs Filling
Unlike filling, which is primarily used for non-working cracks with minimal movement, crack sealing is specifically designed to address dynamic cracks that experience frequent expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, traffic loads, or environmental factors.
The flexible, rubberized sealant we use adheres to the edges of the crack, allowing it to stretch and compress as the pavement shifts. This makes it a more effective long-term solution for preventing water infiltration and further damage in areas with significant movement, while filling services are best suited for static cracks that require a simpler repair.
No matter what kind of repair you choose, sealcoating services are a great way to lock in the sealants and refresh your surface. These two combined services also create the perfect canvas for parking lot striping as well.
