Crack Fill and Crack Seal

Cracks in your asphalt pavement can be an eyesore, but more importantly, they leave your surface vulnerable to water damage and further deterioration. We offer professional crack fill and crack seal solutions to repair and protect your asphalt investment using high-quality materials and proven techniques.

Prevents Water Damage: Water is the enemy of asphalt. Cracks allow water to seep into the base, leading to potholes, sub-base erosion, and premature pavement failure. Crack fill and crack seal act as a barrier, preventing water infiltration and extending the lifespan of your asphalt.

Improves Safety: Unsealed cracks can create uneven surfaces and tripping hazards. Our crack repair solutions fill and smooth cracks, promoting a safer walking and driving experience.

Saves Money Through Preventative Maintenance: Addressing cracks early on is a cost-effective way to prevent costly repairs down the road. Left unattended, small cracks can worsen, requiring more extensive (and expensive) asphalt repairs or even complete pavement replacement. Crack fill and crack seal are a wise investment that helps you get the most out of your existing asphalt pavement.

Don't Let Small Cracks Become Big Problems: Expert Crack Fill & Crack Seal Service in Southern California

Cracks in your asphalt pavement can be an eyesore, but more importantly, they leave your surface vulnerable to water damage and further deterioration. Left unattended, these cracks can grow wider and deeper, eventually leading to potholes, sub-base erosion, and the need for expensive repairs or even complete pavement replacement.

Ochoa Striping Services offers professional crack fill and crack seal solutions to repair and protect your asphalt investment. We use high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure long-lasting results, keeping your pavement smooth, safe, and looking its best.


Benefits of Crack Fill & Crack Seal

  • Prevents Water Damage: Water is the enemy of asphalt. Cracks act as entry points for water to seep into the base material of your pavement. This moisture can cause the sub-base to erode, leading to potholes and uneven surfaces. Over time, water can also weaken the asphalt itself, accelerating its deterioration. Crack fill and crack seal act as a barrier, preventing water infiltration and extending the lifespan of your asphalt by several years.

  • Improves Safety: Unsealed cracks can create uneven surfaces and tripping hazards. These uneven surfaces can be a safety concern for pedestrians and can also pose a risk for cyclists and vehicles. Our crack repair solutions fill and smooth cracks, promoting a safer walking and driving experience.

  • Saves Money Through Preventative Maintenance: Addressing cracks early on is a cost-effective way to prevent costly repairs down the road. Small cracks can be easily filled and sealed, stopping them from growing larger and causing more extensive damage. Left unattended, small cracks can worsen over time due to weather and traffic wear-and-tear. This can necessitate more expensive asphalt patching or even a complete pavement replacement. Crack fill and crack seal are a wise investment that helps you get the most out of your existing asphalt pavement.


Our Crack Filling & Sealing Process

Ochoa Striping Services utilizes a meticulous and effective approach to crack repair:

  1. Crack Cleaning: Our first step involves thoroughly cleaning the cracks using compressed air or water blasting. This removes any dirt, debris, or loose material that could hinder the sealant's adhesion.

  2. Crack Routing (Optional): In some cases, wider cracks (typically ¼ inch or greater) may benefit from routing. This involves mechanically widening the top portion of the crack to create a dovetail shape. Routing allows the sealant to fully penetrate the crack and form a stronger bond.

  3. Crack Filling & Sealing: We use high-quality crack filling materials specifically designed for asphalt repair. These materials are formulated to be flexible and weather-resistant, ensuring long-lasting results. The sealant is applied using professional equipment to ensure complete crack penetration and a smooth finish.


Types of Asphalt Cracks

Not all cracks are created equal. Here's a breakdown of some common types of asphalt cracks:

  • Alligator Cracking: This appears as a network of interconnected cracks resembling alligator skin. It typically indicates extensive pavement fatigue and may require more than just crack fill and crack seal.

  • Longitudinal Cracks: These cracks run parallel to the traffic flow and are often caused by improper base compaction or stress from weight-bearing vehicles.

  • Transverse Cracks: These cracks run perpendicular to the traffic flow and can be caused by shrinkage due to temperature changes or drying out of the asphalt.

  • Block Cracks: These are rectangular-shaped cracks and can be caused by a variety of factors, including improper curing, base settlement, or underlying utility problems.


Have Proper Appearance Expectations

While crack filling and sealing will significantly improve the overall look of your asphalt pavement, it's important to have realistic expectations. The sealant will typically have a slightly different color and texture compared to the surrounding asphalt, and the cracks themselves may still be somewhat visible.

However, compared to unsealed cracks, the difference will be dramatic. For a more uniform appearance, consider sealcoating your entire asphalt surface after the crack filling process is complete. While sealcoating can help minimize the visibility of cracks, it's important to understand that crack filling should always be done first to properly address the underlying problem.


Do You Crack Fill Every Single Crack?

No, we typically don't recommend crack filling and sealing every single crack in your asphalt pavement as it becomes cost prohibitive. Our focus is on addressing the most problematic cracks that are wider than ¼ inch and pose a risk of water infiltration or further damage. Hairline cracks (less than ¼ inch wide) can often be addressed through sealcoating, which helps fill minor imperfections and prevent them from growing larger. Our experienced technicians will assess your asphalt surface and recommend the most appropriate course of action for optimal results.


Why Don't I See Anything in the Cracks After Filling?

There are a couple reasons this may happen. First, cracks often run deeper than they appear on the surface. Our crack filling materials are designed to penetrate the entire crack and bond with the surrounding asphalt. As the material settles and cures, it may fill the entire crack from the bottom up and not be visible at the very top of the pavement surface.

Second, some crack fillers are formulated to sink slightly below the surface to create a level finish. This can make the crack less noticeable, especially for smaller cracks. Rest assured, even if you don't see the filler material itself, the crack has been properly sealed to prevent water infiltration.


When Is Crack Fill Not the Right Service?

Crack filling is a highly effective and preventative measure for maintaining asphalt pavement, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution.

If your asphalt surface has widespread cracking, potholes, or significant depressions, crack filling alone won't be sufficient. In these cases, a more comprehensive asphalt repair or even a complete pavement replacement may be necessary. Our experienced technicians can assess the condition of your pavement and recommend the most appropriate solution.
