Crack Sealing-Sealcoating McHenry IL

crack-sealing-McHenry-ILOur harsh weather conditions in areas like McHenry, freeze-thaw cycles, snow plowing, and salting take a toll on all asphalt surfaces. Asphalt pavement will expand and contract due to temperature differences from thermal expansion and contraction. We know asphalt pavement will inevitably crack so, let it crack. The number one priority on any asphalt surface is to waterproof cracks with a hot-applied rubber sealant. Hot-Applied sealant withstands expansion and contraction, freeze-thaw cycles, prevents water entry, and reduces base failures.

Sealcoating has various benefits and preserves asphalt pavement ultimately extending the service life. Traffic and weathering contribute to the loss of asphalt binder. Treating the asphalt with sealcoat replenishes the loss of asphalt binder and restores the original rich black color.

Spray injection patching is a cost-effective way and green way to repair potholes. Spray patch is unique in that it can be done year-round while using green water-based asphalt emulsion. Spray patching uses a combination of asphalt emulsion and aggregate to create a mix that offers a long-lasting repair. A spray patch is considered more of a permanent repair than a cold patch because of its hot liquid binder and richness in asphalt. Cold patch or HMA patch will generate waste if not used in its entirety, wear as spray patch eliminates waste. Spray patching is applied using a 4 step process: step one the pothole is cleaned, step two repair area is tack coated, step three emulsion and aggregate are mixed to fill the pothole, step four a dust coating of aggregate is applied. Once the repair has been addressed it is opened to traffic immediately.
