Asphalt Repair Options:
Asphalt repair is the most cost-effective way to protect your asphalt surface and foundation. Performing regular inspections and preventive maintenance over time will prolong the life and preserve the appearance of your asphalt, and it will cost a lot less than having to completely replace it after a shorter period of time.
We offer three options in asphalt repairs:
Crafco Mastic One: Hot Mastic Applicator
Mastic One is a hot applied, pourable, aggregate filled, black color, polymer modified asphalt pavement repair mastic. Mastic One is used for sealing, filling and repairing many distresses in both asphalt concrete and portland cement concrete pavements and bridge deck surfaces that are larger than those typically repaired by crack or joint sealing, but smaller than repairs requiring remove and replace patching procedures.
Mastic One with our Hot Mastic Applicator into a crack. Typical uses include sealing, filling and leveling of wide transverse or longitudinal cracks and joints, filling potholes and utility cuts, localized skin patch repairs, repairs prior to surface treatments, and leveling bridge approaches or faulted areas.
Ideally used for:
- Filling wide cracks and joints
- Filling potholes
- Sealing utility cuts
- Leveling depressed thermal cracks
- Repairing deteriorated longitudinal joints
- Skin patch repairs
- Leveling manhole covers
- Leveling bridge deck approaches
- Pretreatment of fatigue cracked areas prior to surface treatments
- Filling spalls, popouts, and corner breaks
Hot Asphalt Repair
Asphalt repair area(s) will be saw cut and all excavated asphalt material will be trucked from the site unless otherwise specified. The excavated area will be mechanically tamped and if an unstable sub-base is encountered during preparation, additional excavation and material will need to be completed. This additional work, at an additional cost will only be completed upon customer consent. If additional work is needed and customer does not give consent guarantee will be null & void. A tack adhesive will be applied to all concrete edges, asphalt edges, and the other points of abutment to help secure a tight bond.
Up to 3" of asphalt will be compressed over the prepared area(s). The compressed thickness will be 3" of (I-5) fabc top course. Repair(s) can be sealcoated immediately with our exclusive primer. If topsoil is needed to be spread along the edges of the asphalt repair it will be the customer's responsibility. This repair will carry a two year guarantee.
Synthetic/Cold Asphalt Repair
Why Synthetic Asphalt?
1. Ready for traffic within 2 hours.
2. Cold patch has a very slow hardening time. Synthetic asphalt has a rapid hardening time and is ready for traffic in two hours or less versus cold patch driveway asphalt that is not accessible in that time frame. The process for cold asphalt being ready takes much longer simply because it contains oils that must work itself out and will not adhere to sealcoating properly at time of installation.
Cold patch driveway / asphalt repair area(s) will be cleaned & prepped using a rotary or manual broom with high tensile strength steel bristles (If needed) and torched at 250,000 BTUs on all asphalt edges and other points of abutment to help secure a tight bond. Old material will be trucked from the site unless otherwise specified. The excavated area will be mechanically tamped and if an unstable sub-base is encountered during preparation, additional excavation and material will need to be completed. This additional work, at an additional cost will only be completed upon customer consent. If additional work is needed and customer does not give consent guarantee will be null & void.
Up to 3" of Synthetic asphalt will be compressed over the prepared area(s). The compressed material will consist of (I -5) fabc top course. Repair can be sealcoated immediately. If topsoil is needed to be spread along the edge of the asphalt repair it will be the customer's responsibility. This repair will carry a two year guarantee. If synthetic asphalt is used in a crack(s) no guarantee is extended.
Hot Rubberized Crack Sealing & Asphalt Patching
Cracfco's Hot Rubberized Crack Sealant that meets material requirements when tested in accordance with ASTM D6690. Material is heated to 350-400 degrees which insures that the hot rubberized crack sealant will penetrate deep into the crack as well as etch the crack wall to ensure an excellent bond. Black beauty sand will be used (depending on Ambient Air temperature) to coat the crack band to inhibit sealer to stick & resist being tacky. Linear footage of the worst cracks is always written down on our estimates so the customer knows what they are getting for the money.
Be advised that when comparing sealcoating & crack sealing estimates PRICING HAS A DIRECT INPUT as far as the linear footage of crack work.
Crafco's Hot Rubberized Crack Sealant that meets material requirements when tested in accordance with ASTM D6690. Cracks will be prepped using 90 cfm of forced HOT air at 2,800 degrees on an as needed basis. Also a motorized 8" Steel Wire Brush Specifically designed to sweep through crevices for better prepared crack edges will be utilized on an as needed basis as well. This insures that the hot rubberized crack sealant will penetrate deep into the crack as well as etch the crack wall to ensure an excellent bond. Black beauty sand will be used to coat the crack band to inhibit sealer to stick & resist being tacky. Linear footage of the worst cracks is always written down on our estimates so the customer knows what they are getting for the money.
