Crack Filling

Over time, asphalt pavement naturally deteriorates due to exposure to the elements, vehicle traffic, and oxidation. As the pavement is exposed to oxygen, the asphalt hardens. This hardening results in a brittle surface that will eventually crack. The cracks enable oxygen and rainwater to penetrate the pavement, often into the sub base, weakening it and reducing pavement strength. Seal coating protects the surface and fills surface voids, reducing the pavement’s exposure to oxygen and water, and extending pavement life.

Protect Your Pavement & Extend Its Life

At McFarlane Driveway Restoration, we specialize in professional crack filling services to help protect and extend the life of your pavement. Our high-quality crack filler creates a watertight seal, preventing further deterioration and preserving the strength of your driveway or parking lot.

Why Is Crack Filling Essential?

Crack filling is one of the most effective ways to maintain your pavement and prevent expensive repairs. Here’s why it’s a critical part of asphalt maintenance:

  • Prevents Water Damage – Water infiltration is the leading cause of asphalt failure. Sealing cracks keeps rain, snow, and ice from penetrating and eroding the sub-base.
  • Reduces Risk of Larger Repairs – Small cracks that go untreated can expand into major structural issues, leading to potholes and costly fixes.
  • Improves Longevity – Regular maintenance, including crack filling, can significantly extend the lifespan of your asphalt surface and delay the need for repaving.
  • Enhances Safety – Cracks can create tripping hazards for pedestrians and uneven surfaces for vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents.
  • Protects Against Seasonal Damage – Freeze-thaw cycles cause cracks to expand, making timely crack filling especially important in colder climates.

Our Crack Filling Process

At McFarlane Driveway Restoration, we use state-of-the-art crack filler technology to create a strong, flexible, and waterproof seal. While this process does not make the cracks disappear entirely, it provides a watertight seal between the foundation of your driveway and harsh weather conditions. After the crack filling process, the repair may still be visible underneath the sealcoat, but the protection it provides is crucial for maintaining your driveway or parking lot.
