Tips For Asphalt Crack Filling
Epoxy and acrylic crack fillers offer a longer lifespan
They resist moisture
Moisture damage occurs to an asphalt mixture when moisture penetrates through the pavement. This results in a decrease in strength and durability. A road network in Egypt, for example, has seen severe deterioration from water intrusion. The bond between the asphalt film and aggregates breaks. The degree of saturation is determined by the composition and the media of attack. The anti-stripping additive, hydrated lime, is used to prevent further deterioration of the pavement. The degree of saturation is also affected by the amount of air voids. The ratio of hydration to tensile strength determines the level of resistance to moisture damage.
They prevent potholes
If you want to avoid potholes, then you should consider asphalt crack filling. Potholes begin as small divots and gradually grow into large holes. This preventative maintenance can be done with supplies available from your local hardware store. Small cracks on the road can be easily repaired by patching them with an asphalt crack filler. This will save you money in the long run, as you will not have to spend money on expensive repairs to your car.
They prevent weeds
A cement crack filler can also keep weeds from growing in your asphalt driveway. You can buy horticultural vinegar, which is 20 percent acetic acid, and mix it with orange oil and phosphate-free dish soap. This chemical burns plant top growth and prevents them from photosynthesizing. However, be careful! This chemical can cause a mild burn and can harm the skin and eyes, so use it carefully.

What Clients Say
My driveway was in need of a complete repaving. Got the three estimates and Saul came in as the most reasonable. I don't always go for the lowest but in this case I'm glad I did. Saul showed up bright and early with his crew and got right to work. They were fast and efficient. They were finished way before the end of the day, which is amazing considering I have a long driveway. The most important thing is the quality of their work. It was second to none. The driveway came out beautiful! I would highly recommend them. Just call Saul!
