Have cracks begin to form on your asphalt driveway or parking lot surface? Asphalt cracks can lead to quicker deterioration of your asphalt, shortening the lifespan of your paved surface. At RCS Paving, we offer professional asphalt crack repair to extend the life of your asphalt and protect it from further damage. We offer asphalt installation, repairs, and maintenance for our residential and commercial customers in Houston and throughout HarrisCounty.
Once a crack begins forming in your asphalt, it can lead to bigger problems. Cracks allow moisture to seep into and under your paved surface. Moisture can hasten the breakdown of asphalt, cause erosion of the base and lead to potholes or crumbling. Fixing cracks quickly is the best way to avoid serious damage to your paved parking lot, road, or driveway, and extend the lifespan. We use top-quality products to fill cracks and reseal your asphalt, stopping the damage to protect your investment. If needed, we address the cause of cracking to reduce further deterioration of your paved surface.
Causes of Asphalt Cracks
Over time, most asphalt will crack. The heat from the sun can reduce moisture in the asphalt and a breakdown occurs within the pavement. Weight from vehicles can cause small cracks to appear as a normal effect of aging. However, seal coating and maintenance can slow down this process. Other causes of asphalt cracks can include:
- Tree roots under the surface
- Moisture evasion and freezing
- Improper installation
- Erosion or soil movement
- Excessive weight or high traffic
- Ground expansion and contraction
Our professionals at Ace Paving will first inspect your asphalt to determine the cause of the cracking to determine the best type of repair. Filling cracks without addressing the cause will only lead to more cracks and deterioration. We can help diagnose the issue and offer the best solution to restore your asphalt surface.
