Why Crack Filling & Patching Matters
Small cracks may seem harmless, but they can quickly worsen due to:
• Water seepage (causing base erosion and potholes)
• Freeze-thaw cycles (expanding cracks in winter)
• Oil and chemical spills (breaking down asphalt)
• UV oxidation (drying out and fading pavement)
By sealing cracks and patching damaged areas early, you can:
✅ Prevent costly repairs (saving 3-5x the cost of full replacement)
✅ Extend pavement life by 5+ years
✅ Improve safety (reducing tripping hazards and vehicle damage)
✅ Enhance curb appeal (maintaining a smooth, professional look)
Our Crack Filling & Patching Process
At Mesquite Asphalt Pros, we use industry-leading techniques to ensure long-lasting results:
1. Inspection & Cleaning
- We assess the severity of cracks and potholes.
- Debris and vegetation are removed for proper adhesion.
2. Crack Filling (for Small to Medium Cracks)
- Hot rubberized asphalt or cold pour sealant is applied.
- Flexible filler prevents water intrusion and future spreading.
3. Patching (for Larger Cracks & Potholes)
- Full-depth patches (for structural damage)
- Surface patches (for minor wear and tear)
- Infrared patching (seamless, durable repairs)
4. Compaction & Smoothing
- Repaired areas are compacted for a flush, even finish.
5. Final Seal (Optional)
- A sealcoat can be applied for added protection.
When Should You Repair Cracks & Potholes?
- Hairline cracks (1/4 inch or larger)
- Alligator cracking (web-like patterns)
- Potholes (especially before winter)
- Raveling (loose gravel on the surface)
DIY vs. Professional Crack Filling
While store-bought fillers offer a temporary fix, professional crack sealing provides:
✅ Longer-lasting repairs (proper materials & techniques)
✅ Deeper penetration (sealing the entire crack)
✅ Preventative maintenance (avoiding future damage)
