Crack Filling

Leading Local Crack Filling Provider in Athens, TX and across Henderson County.

Prevent water from destroying your pavement base. We clean out cracks using high-pressure air compressors, then inject a hot-applied, rubberized polymer sealant. The sealant expands and contracts with the Texas weather, maintaining a waterproof seal that halts water intrusion and stops crack expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specific answers regarding our Crack Filling parameters, schedules, and costs in Athens.

How wide must cracks be to fill?

We fill cracks between 1/8 inch and 1 inch wide. Smaller cracks are sealed by sealcoating.

Does crack filling make cracks disappear?

No. The filled cracks will show as black rubber lines on the pavement.

How often should crack filling be done?

We recommend inspecting and filling cracks annually, preferably in autumn.

Why does water in cracks cause potholes?

Water washes out the subgrade soil, creating an empty pocket that collapses under traffic.

Can I paint lines over filled cracks?

Yes, traffic paint can be applied over cured crack sealant.

How long does crack sealant last?

Hot-pour rubberized sealants typically last 3 to 5 years before requiring touchups.
