When cracks begin to form in your asphalt, it’s only a matter of time before you’re dealing with more significant and more expensive issues. Cracks allow water to seep into the asphalt, where they fill the pavement’s pores and damage it from the inside out.
Even if you live in a dry climate, routine damage from the pavement’s daily use or the onslaught of the sun’s UV rays will cause the cracks to grow in size. With enough time, these cracks will soon form dangerous potholes that can damage cars or even result in personal injury. If that occurs on your property, you could be facing a lawsuit or be forced to provide monetary compensation.
That’s why it’s so important to partner with commercial crack filling contractors like Neyra Paving. We can help you assess the damage to your pavement and provide effective and budget-friendly solutions to your pavement’s crack problem.
Generally, the best way to determine if you need commercial crack filling services is to conduct a visual inspection of your pavement regularly. If you’re noticing an increase in either the number or size of cracks in the pavement or if the cracks look especially deep, it’s time to take action.
If you wait too long, you may find that you need to repave the entire surface. This can be an expensive and time-intensive task that forces the pavement to be unused while you pay a hefty bill.
Your pavement needs to be strong and structurally sound to handle the weight of vehicles, machinery, or repeated foot traffic. Cracks are the first dent in the pavement’s surface, and they allow potential bad actors like moisture (from rain, snow, or ice), salt, or chemicals (like gas and oil) to work their way beneath the pavement’s surface. There they can begin to erode the base of the asphalt, which harms the pavement’s structural integrity.
Put simply, cracks beget more cracks, and if you don’t take the appropriate steps to fill or seal cracks, you’ll soon be dealing with much more significant issues. As cracks grow, they’re also likely to multiply. Soon you’ll see potholes develop and take over your paved area. That exposes you to potential liability and will result in a need for more expensive repairs.
Our commercial pavement crack filling process is efficient and effective. When our team gets to work, we’ll conduct a variety of steps that leave your pavement with an extended lifespan:
These four steps are all you need to keep cracks at bay and keep your pavement structurally sound.
There are a variety of considerations that go into how much the crack filling process will cost:
However, it’s important to note that whatever the cost of filling the cracks in your pavement will be far below the cost in several months or years as the cracks grow, multiply, and transform into potholes. When you take into consideration the potential liability from people injuring themselves or damaging their property due to a pothole or crack, the price of not filling cracks always has the potential to be much higher.
Even if you’re not dealing with extreme events like personal injury, there comes a time when the structural issues of the pavement can’t be fixed by filling the cracks alone. You may be forced to repave the entire surface or pay for added services.
The sight of a single crack in your pavement shouldn’t result in you pulling out your air and succumbing to a desperate panic. However, a single crack shouldn’t be ignored, either. The longer you let cracks sit unfilled, the more time you’re giving it to grow, expand, and turn into more cracks or potholes.
If you see a crack forming before a period of extreme precipitation or heat, you’re inviting those elements below the surface of the pavement, where they will accelerate the damage. Even if the crack is exposed to these things over a longer period of time, you are still leaving your pavement vulnerable.
As we’ve repeatedly stated, filling crack filling is far less expensive than filling potholes or repaving the area. Repaving can cost upwards of tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the area. Crack filling will cost far less and is a far simpler process.
Filling cracks is the first line of defense in protecting your pavement and keeping it structurally sound. With Neyra Paving in Cincinnati, OH, we’ll work with you to identify areas of concern in your pavement and take quick, effective action to prevent the issue from turning into a much more significant one later on.
