An In-depth Guide to Crack Sealing for Commercial Properties
Managing a commercial property involves ensuring the facility’s structural integrity and safety. One essential maintenance task is crack sealing—an often-underlooked method of preserving and extending the service life of both asphalt and concrete surfaces. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the benefits, method, and applications of crack sealing, particularly asphalt crack sealing, concrete crack sealing for businesses, and crack sealing for parking lots.
Understanding Crack Sealing
Crack sealing is the process of pouring a flexible sealant into cracks to prevent water infiltration and further damage. It serves as a first defense line against pavement deterioration by addressing cracks when they’re still small, avoiding additional costly repair or replacement. Some of the most common surfaces that benefit from crack sealing are asphalt and concrete—common materials used in commercial properties and parking lot structures.
The Process of Crack Sealing
Crack sealing involves a series of steps, beginning with cleaning the cracked area. It’s crucial to remove debris and vegetation, providing a clean surface for the sealant to adhere effectively. A heat lance is often used to burn off vegetation and dry out the crack. Once prepared, the crack is then filled with a suitable hot or cold sealant. After the sealing material is applied, it usually takes about 24 hours to fully cure and establish a firm bond with the surrounding pavement.
Asphalt Crack Sealing
Cracks in asphalt surfaces, if left untreated, can lead to extensive costly damage. Asphalt crack sealing is a proactive, cost-effective solution for businesses seeking to maintain their facilities. It extends the lifespan of asphalt surfaces and improves the property’s aesthetic appeal. By stopping water from penetrating the surface, crack sealing prevents the freeze-thaw cycle resulting in more cracks and potholes. It also guards against further deterioration by preventing plant growth and debris build-up within the cracks.
Concrete Crack Sealing for Businesses
Like their asphalt counterparts, concrete surfaces can also suffer from cracks over time. These can be caused by a variety of factors, including freeze-thaw cycles, heavy traffic, and structural settling. Fortunately, concrete crack sealing can effectively prevent these cracks from developing into significant problems. Especially for businesses, maintaining a safe, clean, and attractive property is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction. Concrete crack sealing boosts curb appeal, reduces liability risks, and extends the concrete facility’s longevity.
Crack Sealing for Parking Lots
Commercial properties typically have parking lots to provide convenience for customers or employees. The condition of these parking lots significantly impacts user experience and a company’s reputation. Regular crack sealing can make a big difference. By addressing cracks early on, parking lot owners can prevent more serious, costly surface issues. It enhances the lot’s appearance, making it more appealing and safer to use, and more importantly, prolongs the lifespan of the asphalt or concrete lot—providing significant cost savings in the long run.
Benefits of Crack Sealing
Crack sealing offers several benefits, from reducing the need for expensive repairs or resurfacing, improving the appearance of the property, extending the lifespan of the pavement, to enhancing safety. As well, it protects the underlying pavement structure from water infiltration which can escalate to more serious structural issues over time. For commercial properties, crack sealing is indeed a cost-effective investment to maintain a pleasant, safe, and serviceable environment for all.
Final Thoughts and Recommendations
Given the extensive benefits and preventative nature of crack sealing, it is undoubtedly a necessary maintenance activity for commercial properties. Concrete and asphalt crack sealing, when done correctly, can extend the lifetime of commercial facilities and parking lots, reduce long-term costs, provide a safe environment, and enhance aesthetic appeal. Remember—early detection and proactive maintenance are key to extending your pavement’s life and maximizing your investment.
To ensure successful crack sealing, it’s highly recommended to engage professionals with proven expertise. They carry out the process with precision, ensure the usage of the right materials, and advise based on your specific needs. If you’re dealing with cracks in your commercial property or parking lot, act now. The sooner they are addressed, the less severe and expensive the issue will be.

About Roseville, Michigan
History
The first permanent post office in the area was established in 1840 by William Rose who named it “Roseville” in honor of his father Dennison Rose, a veteran of the War of 1812.
The village of Roseville was incorporated in 1926, and the municipal building was constructed in 1929 at Gratiot Avenue and Meier Road. This replaced the Erin Township Building that was built near the corner of 11 Mile Road and Gratiot in 1886. The 1929 building housed administrative offices as well as the police and fire departments until the 1960s, when separate police and fire stations were constructed. City offices remained in the building until 1974.
Michigan’s first commercial airport, Packard Field, opened at Gratiot Avenue and Frazho Road in 1919. It was renamed Gratiot Airport in 1929, and later Hartung Field. The Eastgate Shopping Center was constructed on the site in the 1950s.
The Erin-Roseville Library was established in 1936 in one room of the municipal building. The library moved to its own building in the 1960s and into the newly constructed civic center in 1974. In 2010, it was circulating approximately 250,000 items annually.
In 1958, the village and remaining parts of Erin Township were incorporated as the City of Roseville.
An early regional mall, the Macomb Mall, opened in 1964 and is still open today, located west of Gratiot and Masonic.
