Asphalt surface cracks can be a frustrating and costly problem for property owners in the Rio Grande Valley.
These cracks not only detract from the appearance of the pavement, but they can also lead to more serious damage if left untreated.
One of the primary causes of asphalt surface cracks is the natural aging process of the pavement.
Over time, exposure to the elements, such as sunlight and moisture, can cause the asphalt to become brittle and crack.
Additionally, heavy traffic and the weight of vehicles can also contribute to the development of cracks.
Another common cause of asphalt surface cracks is poor installation or maintenance.
If the pavement is not properly installed or maintained, it can lead to uneven settling and cracking.
This can be exacerbated by the extreme temperatures and weather conditions in the Rio Grande Valley.
To ensure the longevity and durability of asphalt surfaces, it is crucial to implement preventative measures against cracking.
One effective method is to regularly sealcoat the asphalt, which involves applying a protective layer to the surface.
This layer acts as a barrier against harmful elements such as UV rays, water, and chemicals that can cause cracking.
Another preventative measure is to ensure proper drainage of water from the surface.
Standing water can weaken the asphalt and lead to cracking, so it is important to maintain a slope that allows for efficient water runoff.
Additionally, it is essential to avoid heavy loads on the asphalt surface, as excessive weight can cause cracking.
This can be achieved by limiting the weight of vehicles that drive on the surface or by reinforcing the asphalt with additional layers or materials.
By implementing these preventative measures, we can ensure that asphalt surfaces remain strong and durable, free from unsightly and potentially dangerous cracks.
There are several types of asphalt surface cracks, including longitudinal, transverse, block, and alligator cracks.
Longitudinal cracks run parallel to the pavement's centerline and are typically caused by heavy traffic loads.
Transverse cracks run perpendicular to the pavement's centerline and are often caused by temperature changes.
Block cracks are interconnected cracks that form rectangular patterns and are typically caused by shrinkage of the asphalt.
Alligator cracks resemble the skin of an alligator and are caused by a combination of factors such as heavy traffic loads, age, and lack of maintenance.
At H. Gallagher Asphalt Services, we understand the importance of identifying the type of crack and providing the appropriate repair method.
Our team of experts is equipped to handle every crack situation you may have, from minor repairs to complete resurfacing.
We use a variety of techniques such as crack sealing, patching, and overlaying to ensure a long-lasting and durable repair.
The best solution for repairing longitudinal, transverse, block, and alligator asphalt cracks is by using crack filler or infrared repair.
Our hot crack sealing method involves heating the crack filler to a high temperature and then applying it to the crack.
This process ensures that the filler penetrates deep into the crack, creating a strong bond that prevents further damage.
Our team of experts uses state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that the crack is filled completely, leaving a smooth and seamless finish.
Furthermore, our state-of-the-art infrared repair equipment employs advanced technology to heat the asphalt surface, allowing us to flawlessly mend any damaged areas.
This groundbreaking technique is especially effective for repairing extensive cracks and potholes, as it ensures a resilient and long-lasting repair that will endure the test of time.
