“Router and Fill” crack filling
The “Router and Fill” method is the best way to fill cracks in asphalt.
Crack routing is ideal for large cracks and is also a preventative measure for small cracks to stop further separation.
Advantages to ”Router and Fill” Crack Filling:
Adhesion: Cutting open a crack creates a perfectly clean-cut surface on both the side and bottom edges of the crack allowing for ultimate adhesion when crack filler is applied.
Seal : Creating a better reservoir for the crack fill material ensuring the crack is not only sealed across the surface to block out moisture, but also sealed across the walls and bottom of the reservoir prevent further cracking.
Expansion and Contraction: Making the crack wider helps the expansion and contraction of the crack. There is more width or rubber to be stretched allowing the pavement to expand and contract without tearing away or squeezing out material from crack.
