What Causes Cracks and Why is Timely Repair Important?
Cracks are caused by exposure to the elements, stress from the axle loads, temperature changes, and moisture. When asphalt gets extremely hot, the oxidization process begins and asphalt starts to harden. This dries the pavement out, and as the asphalt is no longer pliable and cannot flex and move with passing traffic, it starts to crack. Once these problems begin to form in the structure of your asphalt, water and vehicular chemicals such as battery acid and oil will get into the material, causing structural damage. As this damage develops, erosion appears in your asphalt pavement, eventually causing sections to collapse.
Curry Seal-N-Stripe can help you accurately identify the type of cracking your pavement exhibits and accurately recommend the proper repair techniques for your specific problem.
If ignored long enough, cracks in your asphalt pavement can potentially ruin the structure and cause pavement failure. At this point, it may necessary to replace the asphalt. Timely crack repair can help avoid the high cost of replacement.
Cracks in asphalt pavement can also become potholes. These dips and holes in the surface are normally caused by continued worsening of another fault in the asphalt. Potholes normally mean the entire area needs to be repaved, as they can also be a sign of problems in the subgrade.
