Alligator cracks, also known as crocodile cracks or fatigue cracks, resemble rough reptile skin and occur when water reaches below the surface of the asphalt, creating pockets of air. The heavy asphalt then shifts to fill the space, causing cracks. When left untreated, these cracks can spread and cause further problems.

These large cracks resemble squares or rectangles on the pavement. They are often the result of the asphalt shrinking due to fluctuating temperatures.

You may notice cracks developing on the edges of your commercial asphalt. This happens when there is a lack of support on the edge of the asphalt lot or road. Edge cracking is dangerous, especially when it happens on the side of major roadways.

If a new layer of asphalt is placed over an older layer with cracks, you may get reflection cracking. Reflection cracking occurs when the old asphalt layer shifts and cracks the new layer above, mimicking the original cracks below.

My asphalt is showing signs of wear and tear. How much time do I have before I should repair the asphalt?

When you notice damage to your commercial asphalt, it’s best to address the issue right away. One freeze and thaw can devastate your asphalt surface, creating a more costly problem than you initially anticipated. If the cracks or potholes are in a high-traffic area, heavy use can also aggravate the problem. Call MoSEAL as soon as you notice a crack appearing in your commercial asphalt. We will provide a quality solution for any asphalt problem you have.

Why do I need a professional asphalt company to repair my asphalt? Can’t I just do it myself?

Any DIY project for a commercial asphalt surface is a gamble. Off-the-shelf asphalt crack sealers and pothole filling solutions will never be as powerful or long-lasting as professionally repaired asphalt. The team at MoSEAL not only has years of experience repairing asphalt problems, but we give 100% to every project. A simple pothole fill is just as important as a full parking lot overlay because we are dedicated to creating a safer environment for vehicles and people using your commercial asphalt.

What is the difference between asphalt patching and asphalt resurfacing?

An asphalt patch covers only a small area of your asphalt surface. An asphalt resurfacing project occurs over the entire surface. MoSEAL recommends patching your asphalt when you only have a small area of asphalt that needs to be repaired. If the asphalt surface has cracks and potholes all over, we recommend resurfacing to take care of the entire problem all at once.

My recently installed asphalt patch stands out against the rest of my asphalt. How can the two surfaces be blended?

If you recently had an asphalt patch replaced but you don’t love how the fresh, darker asphalt stands out against the older asphalt around it, call MoSEAL! In cases like these, we recommend adding a new sealcoat to your asphalt for a clean, consistent look. A sealcoat can also protect your asphalt for an additional 2-3 years. Not only will you have an asphalt surface that looks brand new, but you’ll also be confident knowing the asphalt beneath has been reinforced with patching from MoSEAL.

Do you have a pothole problem? Fill potholes in commercial asphalt with help from mid-Missouri’s premier pothole repair team, MoSEAL

Every day, asphalt is dealing with the stress of personal vehicles, commercial vehicles, and even large delivery trucks. Plus, Missouri’s unpredictable climate makes it difficult for asphalt to maintain a normal temperature and keep troublesome moisture out. These varying problems compound to put a lot of stress on asphalt, and stress can lead to potholes.

An untreated pothole can damage a car’s tires, wheels, suspension, steering, and more. Not only are potholes a headache for customers, but they are a poor representation of a commercial property. When you notice a pothole forming, contact MoSEAL right away. We offer quick and easy pothole fills on commercial or municipal parking lots or roads. Pothole patches are an effective way to protect asphalt from further damage and create a smoother drive. Contact our team to learn about your pothole fill options today.

I HAVE A POTHOLE PROBLEM

Untreated cracks in asphalt can spread & cause further damage to a parking lot or road. Call MoSEAL to seal the cracks in your asphalt

Just like potholes, cracks in asphalt appear when it is put under too much stress from traffic and the weather. Water, in particular, is a huge problem for aging asphalt surfaces. Water will seep through tiny cracks in asphalt and when it freezes and expands, the asphalt will crack further. In the asphalt industry, there are many types of cracks and causes for those cracks. Not sure what you’re dealing with? Use our asphalt crack guide to learn more about the problems you’re facing on your asphalt surface.

Common types of cracks found in commercial asphalt

Gator Cracks

Alligator cracks, also known as crocodile cracks or fatigue cracks, resemble rough reptile skin and occur when water reaches below the surface of the asphalt, creating pockets of air. The heavy asphalt then shifts to fill the space, causing cracks. When left untreated, these cracks can spread and cause further problems.
Block Cracks

These large cracks resemble squares or rectangles on the pavement. They are often the result of the asphalt shrinking due to fluctuating temperatures.
Edge Cracking

You may notice cracks developing on the edges of your commercial asphalt. This happens when there is a lack of support on the edge of the asphalt lot or road. Edge cracking is dangerous, especially when it happens on the side of major roadways.
Reflection Cracking

If a new layer of asphalt is placed over an older layer with cracks, you may get reflection cracking. Reflection cracking occurs when the old asphalt layer shifts and cracks the new layer above, mimicking the original cracks below.

CORRECT THE CRACKS

Get superior asphalt patching for cracking or crumbling commercial asphalt surfaces in mid-Missouri

Sometimes a simple crack seal just won’t do, especially when dealing with a widespread crack problem. Rather than targeting a specific crack, milling and patching is a great way to reinforce a larger area of your asphalt without resurfacing the whole thing. This is a great long-term solution for aging asphalt. In any milling and patching project, MoSEAL removes the damaged layer of asphalt and replaces it with a fresh new layer. The edges of the old and new asphalt are blended to create a smooth surface between the patch and the old asphalt.

Sometimes, it may be necessary to completely dig out the damaged asphalt right down to the subbase. If the problem is in the subbase, MoSEAL will replace the subbase to eliminate future problems. The new subbase will be leveled and fresh asphalt will be laid, and you will be left with a smooth surface you can rely on for years to come. At MoSEAL, we leverage our experience every day to create effective solutions for business owners in mid-Missouri. We can provide exceptional asphalt services to you, too!
