About Crack Sealing
Introduction to Crack Sealing
The commercial and industrial landscape is continuously beset by the rigors of time and weather, leading to unwanted and potentially harmful cracks on surfaces such as concrete and asphalt. One effective way to keep these surfaces in peak condition, ensuring a safe and attractive environment, is through crack sealing. This guide to crack sealing aims to provide details into the process, benefits, and practical methods of protecting and enhancing commercial properties by sealing cracks.
Crack Sealing: An Overview
Crack sealing is the preventive maintenance measure which involves the placement of specialized materials into cracks to prevent water infiltration and asphaltic pavement reinforcement. Its role in preserving and extending the life of pavements is vital, making it an essential part of property maintenance strategies for businesses. Proper crack sealing protects the underlying pavement and foundation from water intrusion, sub-grade softening, and freeze-thaw damage.
Asphalt Crack Sealing
Asphalt crack sealing is an invaluable investment for maintaining parking lots, driveways, and other asphalt surfaces in commercial settings. Notably, asphalt surfaces are highly susceptible to changes in temperature, causing them to expand and contract, leading to cracking over time. The asphalt crack sealing process involves the infiltration of a hot rubberized sealant into the crack, filling it in thoroughly, and creating a seal that keeps the elements out.
The Importance of Professional Asphalt Crack Sealing
While there are DIY asphalt sealants on the market, professional services come with the expertise and equipment to ensure a high-quality, durable seal. More importantly, professionals can identify whether a crack is an isolated incident or indicative of more significant foundation issues needing attention.
Concrete Crack Sealing for Businesses
Similar to asphalt, concrete surfaces on commercial properties can also develop cracks due to various reasons such as temperature fluctuations, settling, or heavy traffic. Concrete crack sealing is particularly important for businesses as these cracks not only impact the aesthetic appeal of a business premise but also pose a potential liability issue if they lead to accidents. A professional concrete crack sealing service typically involves the use of a high-quality sealant that is applied to the cracks, preventing further damage and making the surface safe.
Crack Sealing for Parking Lots
The parking lot is often the first impression a customer has of a business. Therefore, maintaining its pristine condition is crucial. Crack sealing for parking lots helps prevent minor splits from becoming large potholes, improves the overall look of the parking lot, enhances safety and accessibility, and extends its lifespan. Additionally, a well-maintained parking area helps businesses make a positive impression, attracting customers and enhancing their reputation.
Benefits of Crack Sealing
Sustaining the longevity and aesthetics of your commercial property surfaces is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the benefits of crack sealing. Among the other advantages, crack sealing contributes to cost savings, as neglecting minor cracks can lead to bigger, costlier issues. Sealed pavement has a longer lifespan and better resilience against the elements. Additionally, it prevents potential injury lawsuits due to trips or falls, boosting not just the functionality but also the safety of the area.
Conclusion
In conclusion, crack sealing is a proactive maintenance solution for your business surfaces. It entails several advantages, including cost-efficiency, safety, longevity, and creating a positive impression of your business facility. While you consider the details outlined in this guide, remember that the best results come from engaging with professional crack sealing service providers.

History
Harrison was first designated as the new centralized location of the county seat of Clare County in 1877. It would become a replacement for Farwell, which was the first county seat when Clare County was formally organized in 1871. The Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad platted the village in 1879 and set aside property for a new county government after the previous courthouse in Farwell burned down. The Harrison post office opened on January 27, 1880 and was named after former president William Henry Harrison. The new community incorporated as a village in 1885 and later as a city in 1891.
