Asphalt Crack Sealing

With proper and routine asphalt maintenance, the life of the asphalt will be significantly increased. Our team at Valley Sealcoat will help identify the most cost-effective, preventative maintenance or asphalt repair that you need.

Water is the number one nemesis of asphalt. When cracks develop in the asphalt surface, the most important preventative maintenance is the correct sealing of the cracks. This will stop the water from infiltrating the cracks and eroding the asphalt sub-base as well as prevent additional damage from the freeze/thaw cycles we experience in northeast Wisconsin.

When cracks are not sealed, they always grow up to be potholes! That's when repairs get costly and huge liability issues are created. Valley Sealcoat Inc can help prevent pothole repair with the proper technique of crack sealing. For a FREE quote on our quality, innovating crack sealing services, call (920) 731-0202.

• 24 HP carbide-tipped pavement routers. Don't be confused by some asphalt paving contractors who use a 2 HP wire wheel crack cleaner, calling it a router. That is not remotely the same type of equipment and will not provide the same end result.
• A propane-fired 3000° 120psi air torch (this is the jet engine on a stick).
• Double-walled, oil-jacketed, temperature-controlled, sealant melter. This ensures the routs are sealed at the correct temperature and pressure as specified by the manufacturer.

• Routing: Cracks are routed at a preferred ratio (width to depth) to create an optimal reservoir for material flexibility and sidewall integrity. 
• Preparation: Dust and loose debris are removed and routs are dried by a heat lance (think of a jet engine on a stick) to provide for superior adhesion of the crack sealing material.
• Sealing: Routs are pressure sealed and over-banded with hot rubberized sealant. All of our sealants meet or exceed state and federal specifications.
