Untreated, cracks allow water penetration to severely damage the asphalt surface by reducing the strength of base
and sub-base layers. By utilizing Slurry Pavers Crack Sealing maintenance program you can cost effectively extend
pavement life by dramatically slowing the rate of condition deterioration.
In one recent study, effective Crack Sealing reduced pothole formation and development of additoinal cracking
significantly. Potholes and additional cracking formed at 75 to 80% of the unsealed cracks compared to only 1% of the
sealed cracks. Effective Crack Sealing significantly reduces future pavement deterioration and drastically extends
service life at very low cost.
Crack and Joint Sealing methods include:
Polymer and rubber modified systems
Fiberized asphalts
Non-shrink grouts
Paving fabrics
The added life provided by effective Crack Sealing in routine maintenance, along with coal tar seals, asphalt
emulsion seals, slurry seals, microsurfacing and other preventative maintenance treatments will help you achieve
better performing pavements with minimum capital overlay. At Slurry Pavers, we'll show you how to make the most
of your preventative maintenance plan by providing maintenance and rehabilitative alternatives that will keep your
pavement surfaces in better condition over time at lower costs.
