Professional Asphalt Crack Repair to Extend the Life of Your Pavement

Cracks begin forming in asphalt for many reasons. Weather cycles, freeze–thaw expansion, sunlight exposure, and daily traffic all cause the pavement to shift and weaken. Once a crack opens, moisture begins working its way into the base, which quickly leads to more serious issues.

Professional asphalt crack repair stops this cycle early. When you fill or seal cracks before they spread, you:

Prevent water damage

Slow down the deterioration

Keep the surface smooth and safe

Avoid major repairs in the future

This applies to all asphalt surfaces, from parking lots and access roads to walking paths and commercial drives. Addressing asphalt cracks early is the simplest way to protect your investment and avoid expensive structural work in the future.

Crack Filling vs. Crack Sealing — What’s the Difference?

Many property owners use the terms interchangeably, but crack filling and crack sealing serve different purposes in pavement maintenance.

Crack Filling

Crack filling is used for cracks that don’t significantly expand or contract throughout the year. It’s considered a more temporary fix, designed to slow deterioration and prevent water from entering the base. This is a valuable part of regular pavement maintenance and helps delay larger repairs.

Crack Sealing

Crack sealing is a longer-lasting method used for “working” cracks that move with seasonal temperature changes. These are more flexible and feature a specialized sealant that can expand and contract with the pavement. This helps protect the asphalt during freeze–thaw cycles and heavy traffic.

When to Use Each Method

The best time to perform asphalt crack filling or sealing is during dry weather periods when the pavement is clean and ready for proper bonding.

Crack filling: Good for narrow, surface-level cracks or early-stage deterioration.
Crack sealing: Better for wider cracks or those affected by constant movement.

When You Need Asphalt Crack Repair

Cracks don’t appear overnight, but they worsen quickly once moisture and traffic begin wearing down the surface. Knowing what to look for helps you stay ahead of costly damage.

Common Signs You Need Pavement Crack Repair

Cracks have become wider or are spreading along the surface
Water slipping into small openings after rainfall
Soft spots or depressions forming around cracks
Early pothole development
Faded, dry, or brittle asphalt that breaks apart easily

These early signs indicate that your pavement is vulnerable. Even hairline cracks can lead to potholes or base failures if not repaired. Proper asphalt crack repair keeps these problems from spreading and protects the underlying structure.

Our Asphalt Crack Repair Process

Our process delivers long-lasting protection and high-quality results for parking lots, roadways, commercial drives, and high-traffic surfaces. Each project begins with an evaluation to determine the best method based on the type and severity of the crack.

Inspection & Cleaning

We start with a detailed inspection to assess the pavement condition. Then we remove dirt, debris, vegetation, and any leftover filler so the materials bond properly.

Routing or Preparation (When Needed)

Some cracks benefit from routing—a specialized preparation method that widens the crack slightly to ensure a stronger, longer-lasting fill. Routing is used only when appropriate.

Hot or Cold Application

Depending on pavement condition and crack type, we use hot- or cold-applied materials that adhere well and prevent moisture penetration.

Filling or Sealing

Once the crack is prepped, we apply the correct asphalt crack filler or sealant for consistent coverage. Our team ensures depth, bonding, and durability meet professional maintenance standards.

Smoothing & Finishing

The filled crack is smoothed and leveled to create a clean, uniform surface that maintains safe conditions for vehicles and pedestrians. Our work can be phased to reduce downtime on busy properties.

Cure & Final Inspection

We complete a final quality check to confirm the repair is properly sealed, cured, and protected from premature wear.

Crack repair is an essential part of a complete pavement maintenance strategy. When damage becomes more advanced and potholes or base failures develop, count on Cincinnati Asphalt for comprehensive asphalt repair solutions.
