3 Facts About Crack Sealing 🚧🛠️

1️⃣ It’s One of the Most Cost-Effective Pavement Treatments – Crack sealing is a low-cost, high-impact solution that prevents water and debris from penetrating pavement, significantly extending its lifespan and delaying expensive repairs.

2️⃣ Timing Matters – The best time to apply crack sealant is before major deterioration begins. Sealing early-stage cracks prevents them from spreading and turning into potholes or alligator cracking.

3️⃣ Not All Crack Sealants Are the Same – Different materials are used depending on climate, pavement type, and traffic conditions. The right sealant choice ensures flexibility, durability, and long-term protection.

3 Facts About Alligator Cracking 🐊🚧

1️⃣ It’s Caused by Repeated Traffic Stress – Alligator cracking, also called fatigue cracking, happens when pavement endures repeated traffic loads over time, weakening its structure.

2️⃣ It Signals Structural Failure – Unlike surface-level cracks, alligator cracking indicates deeper issues, often due to an inadequate base, poor drainage, or aging pavement.

3️⃣ It Requires More Than Just a Quick Fix – Simply filling the cracks won’t solve the underlying problem. Proper repairs often involve removing and replacing the affected pavement to restore structural integrity.
