The good news is that you can prevent this minor repair issue from becoming a major one. Freedom Asphalt cost-effective asphalt crack repair services start by cleaning the dust and debris from the crack using a high-pressure stream of air. Then we seal the crack using a hot-applied, polymer-based material a.k.a. hot tar. The extreme heat during application causes the sides of the asphalt in the crack to melt and form a much stronger bond with the crack sealer upon cooling. Due to its high elasticity, our crack sealer expands and contracts with the thermal movements of the crack. Also, because of its high melting point, it will not track or pick up with traffic.
