Asphalt Crack Filling
in Atlanta
Crack filling is one of the most important preventive steps for asphalt. Cracks let water reach the base, and a weakened base becomes a pothole. Advanced Roofing & Paving fills and seals cracks in commercial parking lots across Metro Atlanta before they turn into expensive repairs.
Why Cracks Matter
Water that enters a crack softens the base and, during cold snaps, expands and widens the crack further. Traffic then breaks the weakened edges apart. Sealing cracks early slows this cycle and extends the life of the pavement.
Cracks We Fill
- Longitudinal and transverse cracks: straight cracks along or across the lot
- Block cracking: rectangular patterns from aging asphalt
- Joint cracks where new and old asphalt meet
- Edge cracks along curbs and lot edges
Alligator cracking (interconnected cracks that look like reptile skin) usually means base failure and needs pavement repair, not crack filling.
Our Crack Filling Process
- Clean cracks with compressed air to remove dirt and vegetation
- Prepare wider cracks as needed so the filler bonds
- Fill with a flexible crack filler
- Finish flush with the surface
- Follow with sealcoating when scheduled, for complete protection
Crack Filling + Sealcoating
Crack filling seals individual openings; sealcoating protects the whole surface. Filling cracks before sealcoating gives the best result.
