Crack Filling

No — and anyone who tells you otherwise is being misleading. Hot rubberized crack filler seals the crack against water infiltration and flexes with the pavement through temperature changes. It stops the crack from growing and prevents the freeze-thaw damage that's the real enemy. It doesn't structurally bond the asphalt back together.

We won't do it, and you shouldn't want us to. Applying sealer over open cracks traps moisture underneath and accelerates the very damage you're trying to prevent. Crack filling is a prerequisite for sealcoating — we always do it in that order.

Spider cracks — the web of fine interconnected cracks that spread across an area — are not filled directly. By the time pavement reaches that stage, the underlying damage is already done, and filling individual spider cracks doesn't meaningfully reverse it. What we do instead is fill around the spider-cracked area to stop the cracking from spreading further into surrounding, still-intact pavement. That's an honest answer, and we'd rather you have it upfront than pay for something that won't solve the problem.

Hot rubberized filler cures relatively quickly — typically 30–60 minutes to be firm to the touch, though we recommend waiting a few hours before driving over treated areas. Cure time varies with temperature and humidity.
