The constant exposure to the sun and water is pavements greatest enemy. Oxidation from the sun causes shrinkage and separation of the asphalt surface resulting in cracks. Left untreated the damage will penetrate the pavements subsurface and soften it. In no time, new cracks and potholes will appear. American Asphaltís maintenance plan ensures that cracks are noticed early and treated before they spread resulting in more costly repairs.

Your first defense against pavement deterioration is Crack Sealing. This is done to prevent the deterioration of the subbase by water and debris. The thorough cleaning of affected areas and the application of crack sealant will prevent further erosion of the surface and damage to the structural support of the pavement. The material used is designed to expand and shrink allowing for year round performance.

Without prompt attention, areas around the pavement will also begin to fail as a result of increased oxidation. The main crack will not only get larger, additional cracking will also appear.

By sealing cracks early you can extend the life of your pavement considerably and prevent more costly repairs.
