Why Asphalt Cracks Must Be Repaired Quickly
Water is the enemy of asphalt pavement, and cracks are the front door. Once water enters a crack, it weakens the base layer, undermines support, and freezes in winter — widening the crack further and accelerating the damage cycle. In Michigan's climate, an ignored crack often becomes a pothole within 1-2 seasons.
The economics are straightforward: repairing cracks early costs pennies per linear foot compared to patching potholes or replacing base-damaged sections. A properly maintained commercial lot should receive crack attention every 2-3 years to stay ahead of this damage cycle.
D&J uses hot-pour rubberized crack repair materials — the commercial standard. We do not use cold-pour consumer products that harden and fail in Michigan winters.

From Our Founders
Built on Accountability
"Crack repairs are our most high-ROI service for commercial property owners. The materials are relatively inexpensive, the labor is quick, and the payoff is huge — you extend the life of the pavement by 5-10 years when you stay on top of the cracks. Every dollar you spend on crack repair typically saves $5-10 in future patching and resurfacing."

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of cracks can be repaired?
Linear cracks, transverse cracks, edge cracks, and block cracks are all candidates for repair. Alligator (interconnected) cracks indicate base failure and require patching, not surface filling. We assess each crack type and recommend the appropriate method.
How long does crack repair take?
Most commercial lot crack repairs are completed in a single visit. A medium-sized lot with moderate cracking typically takes 2-4 hours. The material cures quickly and the lot can reopen to traffic within 30-60 minutes.
What is the difference between crack repair and crack sealing?
Crack repair refers to filling or sealing cracks to stop water infiltration. Crack sealing specifically refers to routing the crack first, then applying flexible sealant — providing better performance on moving cracks. Both are methods of crack repair.
How often should commercial cracks be repaired?
As part of a regular maintenance program, crack attention every 2-3 years (often combined with sealcoating) is standard. High-traffic lots may need more frequent inspection and treatment.
