Crack repair

Pavage SCL Paiva réparation d asphalte

Crack repair

Hot crack repair is a common and effective method of protecting asphalt and extending its service life. This technique seals cracks in asphalt pavement using a rubbery product heated to high temperatures, typically between 350 and 380 degrees Celsius.

The hot repair process generally comprises the following steps:

Crack preparation -

Before starting the repair, the crack is cleaned, removing any debris, dirt and other materials that could prevent effective adhesion of the repair product.

Heating the product +
Product application +
Cooling and solidification +

One of the advantages of hot crack repair is that the material used remains flexible even in cold weather. This allows the asphalt pavement to maintain its efficiency and structural integrity even during extremely cold winter temperatures.

Hot crack repair is a cost-effective way to prevent cracks from getting worse, and to protect asphalt from damage caused by water that can seep into cracks and expand during winter frosts. By sealing cracks, this method helps maintain the integrity of the pavement, preventing potholes and other more serious structural problems.

It’s advisable to call in experienced professionals to carry out hot crack repair, as proper workmanship is essential to ensure a long-lasting and effective repair.

Why repair cracks in your asphalt?

Repairing cracks in asphalt is essential to maintain the integrity and durability of the surface, and to prevent more serious problems in the future. Here are a few reasons why it’s important to repair cracks in asphalt:

  1. Preventing aggravation: Cracks in asphalt tend to grow over time due to the impact of traffic, freeze-thaw cycles, moisture and other environmental stresses. If cracks are not repaired in time, they can develop into major problems such as potholes and areas of surface deformation.
  2. Structural preservation: Asphalt is designed to provide a stable, uniform surface for vehicular traffic. Cracks can compromise this structure by allowing water to penetrate and damage the underlying base. This can lead to subsidence, deformation and reduced bearing capacity.
  3. Preventing water infiltration: Water can penetrate cracks in the asphalt, causing erosion of the base and subsoil. When this water freezes and expands in winter, it can aggravate cracks and cause greater structural damage.
  4. Road safety: cracks and potholes in asphalt can create uneven and dangerous surfaces for drivers. Vehicles can be damaged and drivers can lose control, leading to accidents.
  5. Preventing high costs: By repairing cracks at an early stage, we can prevent minor problems from becoming major ones. Minor repairs are generally less costly and less invasive than major repairs, which might require resurfacing or complete replacement of the pavement.
  6. Extended service life: Regular repair of cracks can extend the overall service life of the asphalt surface. This avoids premature deterioration and the costs associated with early replacement.
