About Crack Filling
Introduction
Crack filling is a crucial step in property maintenance not to be overlooked, particularly when you’re a custodian of commercial facilities. This vital practice can effectively revive your property’s driveways and parking lots, prolonging their lifespan, and enhancing overall aesthetic appeal. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about asphalt and concrete crack filling services. We’ll delve into the fundamental aspects of professional driveway crack filling and the benefits it brings along for commercial properties, including invaluable insights on how to get the best results.
Understanding Crack Filling
The term ‘Crack Filling’ may sound simple, but it involves a meticulous procedure that prevents further deterioration of commercial pavements. It’s a preventative maintenance technique employed to extend the life of asphalt and concrete driveways. The process involves injecting a sealant into cracks to prevent the infiltration of water and other detrimental elements, thus reducing the rate of pavement erosion and degradation due to external wear and tear factors.
Benefits of Crack Filling for Commercial Properties
Professional crack filling offers a myriad of benefits to commercial property owners. Firstly, this service helps repair minor issues before they escalate into large-scale pavement breaks needing costly replacements. Secondly, it safeguards your pavement from damaging water intrusion that can lead to subsurface failures. Additionally, crack filling significantly enhances the appearance of your property, which reflects positively on your business. Lastly, this service can offer more years to an asphalt or concrete pavement, saving you from untimely reinvestment into a new driveway or parking lot.
The Crack Filling Process
Due to the distinct texture and properties of different pavement materials, the crack filling procedure varies for asphalt and concrete surfaces. For asphalt crack filling, the sealant used is generally a hot rubberized mixture, ensuring a long-lasting repair. Meanwhile, for concrete surfaces, the sealant comprises of epoxy or polyurethane- a slightly flexible material that closely matches the concrete’s consistency and color.
Asphalt Crack Filling Services
These services involve using specialized equipment to inject hot sealant into fissures in asphalt surfaces. Before applying the sealant, technicians clean out the cracks to remove any dust, debris, and vegetation, which may impact the sealant’s application. Once the filling hardens, an additional protective layer, often a sealcoat, is administered to create a watertight barrier that protects against water, oils, and UV damage.
Concrete Crack Filling for Commercial Properties
When it comes to concrete crack filling, the chosen sealant must create a bond robust enough to withstand the concrete’s expansive and contractive nature. The sealant acts as a waterproofing agent, keeping out water and chemicals, thereby preventing further damage and deterioration. Often, this process also involves a sealant primer to ensure maximum adhesion.
Choosing the Right Professional Crack Filling for Driveways
Determining the right professional service is crucial to achieving a long-lasting repair solution. Choose a reputable company that is fully licensed and insured, featuring skilled and experienced technicians. Ensure that the company uses top-quality sealants and has state-of-the-art equipment capable of delivering a satisfactory job. Reviews and recommendations can provide an excellent starting point when searching for these professionals.
Conclusion
Paying heed to crack filling needs is not only an act of proactive maintenance but an intelligent investment into the commercial property’s long-term integrity. By utilizing professional asphalt and concrete crack filling services, commercial property owners can capitalize on enhanced aesthetics, higher safety levels, and increased property value. So, whether you manage a small business lot or a sprawling corporate campus, remember that the crack filling isn’t an option- it’s a necessity.

About Troy, Michigan
History
The earliest recorded purchases of land in what was known as Troy Township occurred in 1819. A couple of years later, a settlement known as Troy Corners was established due to Johnson Niles buying 160 acres in the region. The area is currently the north-central area of Troy. In 1827 Troy Township was established. In 1955, Troy was officially incorporated primarily as a strategy for preventing border cities from taking more land. This also helped to establish more robust city services for Troy residents, whose numbers increased rapidly during this time due to Detroiters fleeing the city for the surrounding suburbs.
It was named after Troy, New York, and the ancient city of Troy, as many of the early settlers, as in much of Michigan, originated from New York.
