Crack Seal
Benefits: Filling or sealing pavement cracks to prevent water from entering the base and sub-base can extend the pavement life by 3-5 years.
Challenges: Crack Seal application requires dry conditions and is restricted by precipitation. Therefore, inclement weather will delay application.
Because cracks do not typically form in straight lines, a Crack Sealed road may appear to have dark squiggly or “spider-like” lines running along it. Because of this, Crack Seal is typically not as aesthetically pleasing as other pavement preservation options.
What to Expect: Typically, Crack Sealing requires intermittent lane closures for the selected road, and work is completed same day.
