Professional Crack Filling Services for Pavement Protection
Over time, pavement develops cracks due to traffic, weather, and natural wear. If left untreated, these cracks allow moisture to seep into the pavement structure, leading to potholes and more. Crack filling is a key repair method that prevents further deterioration by sealing open gaps and reinforcing the surface.
American Asphalt provides expert crack-filling services for roads, parking lots, and driveways in Post Falls, Spokane, and surrounding areas. AASIing high-quality rubberized asphalt fillers, we help property owners extend pavement life and maintain smooth, safe surfaces.
What Is Crack Filling?
This asphalt repair process involves injecting a specialized filler into pavement cracks to prevent moisture and debris from causing further damage. Unlike crack sealing, which uses flexible rubberized materials for long-term expansion and contraction, it’s a cost-effective repair solution for non-working cracks—those that don’t significantly expand or contract with temperature changes.
This method is ideal for addressing:
- Fatigue Cracks: Also known as crocodile cracking, these form a network of interconnected cracks caused by prolonged stress.
- Block Cracks: Large, square-shaped cracks that develop due to shrinkage in the asphalt surface.
- Edge Cracks: Found along the outer edges of pavement, often caused by poor drainage or weak support.
By filling asphalt cracks early, property owners prevent water infiltration, freeze-thaw damage, and larger structural failures.
