Hot Rubberized Crackfilling in Richmond, VA & Central New Jersey

Cracks are how water kills asphalt. We seal them with commercial-grade, polymer-modified rubber applied at 350°F — the same material you see protecting highways and parking lots, not the brittle bottle filler from the big box store.

How it's done

Our Crackfilling Process

A crackfill is only as good as the prep behind it. Every crack gets the full sequence before a drop of rubber goes down.

Cleaning debris and vegetation from asphalt cracks before crackfilling
Step 01

Clean Every Crack

Cracks are cleared of loose debris, vegetation, and moisture — trapped dirt is the number one reason crackfill fails early.

Step 02

Hot-Apply at 350°F

Polymer-modified rubber is heated to 350°F and applied as a liquid, penetrating and sealing cracks from 1/4" up to 1" wide.

Sand & Set

The rubber hardens in minutes while staying permanently flexible, and a sand broadcast gives the strips a uniform, gritty finish.

Seal & Protect

Water intrusion is eliminated. Pair crackfilling with a sealcoat and your pavement gets the full protection cycle in one visit.

The material matters

Built to Bend, Not Break

You've seen the 2" black lines winding across parking lots and roadways — that's this material. Our crackfill is engineered to stay soft, pliable, and flexible, especially in warm months. That's by design: it bends with the natural movement of the asphalt and vehicle traffic while blocking water and debris.

  • Hot-applied at 350°F so it penetrates and bonds inside the crack, not just on top
  • Permanently flexible — it moves with freeze-thaw cycles instead of popping out
  • Outlasts cold-pour fillers — big-box "trowel grade" products turn brittle and re-open within days
  • Comparing quotes? Ask every contractor exactly what crackfill material they use and how it's applied

What to Expect After Crackfilling

The crackfill lines will remain slightly visible through a fresh sealcoat, and sealer over the rubber strips naturally wears off within the first 30 days of rain and curing. That wearing process is normal, expected, and not a defect — the crackfill beneath stays fully intact and the water stays out.

Our promise
"If a crack can't be filled, we'll tell you why."

Alligator cracking signals base failure — filling it just wastes your money. Hairline micro-cracking from over-sealing can't hold rubber either. We only fill treatable cracks, we explain every exclusion during your evaluation, and if your pavement needs a cut-and-patch or a paver instead, you'll hear it from us straight.

Good questions

Crackfilling FAQ

Why does the crackfill stay soft and tacky?
By design. The rubber must bend and flex with the natural movement of your asphalt and vehicle traffic while keeping water out. It typically completes its full cure after the first winter and may soften during 90°F+ days — that flexibility is exactly why it outlasts rigid fillers.
Will I see the crackfill lines through my sealcoat?
Yes, slightly. Sealer bonds to porous asphalt, not to the rubber strips, so sealer over the crackfill naturally wears off within the first 30 days and the lines stay faintly visible. This is normal, expected, and not a defect — the crack is sealed and water intrusion is eliminated.
What cracks can't be filled?
Alligator cracking (interconnected, spider-web cracking that signals base failure), hairline micro-cracking from over-sealing, cracks on pitched pavement edges, and tree root damage. Cracks wider than 1–2" need treatment beyond standard crackfill, which we itemize separately in your proposal.
Can I park on the crackfill strips?
Avoid parking hot, highway-driven tires directly on the strips, especially in hot weather or in the first weeks after application — warm tires can leave cosmetic impressions in the flexible rubber. Marks like these don't affect the seal's performance.
How is this different from store-bought crack filler?
Cold-pour, acrylic, and "trowel grade" products from big box stores go down cold and turn brittle, re-opening within days of pavement movement. Our material is hot-applied at 350°F, penetrates the crack, and stays permanently flexible — the cost and application method are substantially different, and so is the lifespan.
Do you fill the joint at my garage floor or curbing?
Yes, on request. The joints between asphalt and the concrete garage floor, Belgian block, walkways, or municipal curbing require specialized materials we don't carry daily, so ask during your evaluation and we'll add them to your proposal.
