Asphalt is durable, but it is constantly exposed to traffic, moisture, sunlight, and seasonal temperature changes. In Central Ohio, repeated freezing and thawing can be especially hard on paved surfaces.

Common causes of asphalt cracking include:

• Freeze-and-thaw cycles
• Water penetrating beneath the pavement
• Age and oxidation
• Heavy vehicle traffic
• Poor drainage
• Ground movement and settling
• Weak or deteriorating pavement
• Previous asphalt damage

Addressing cracks early can help reduce the amount of water that reaches the underlying pavement and base.

Burden Brothers Paving provides crack filling for a variety of residential and commercial asphalt surfaces throughout Columbus and Central Ohio.

Residential Driveway Crack Filling

Cracks can make an otherwise solid asphalt driveway look neglected while also creating openings where water can enter the pavement.

We provide asphalt driveway crack filling in Columbus, Ohio for homeowners who want to maintain their existing pavement and address isolated cracking before it develops into more extensive damage.

If the driveway has widespread cracking or significant deterioration, we’ll evaluate whether asphalt repair or resurfacing would be a more appropriate solution.

Parking Lot Crack Filling

Commercial parking lots are exposed to vehicle traffic, weather, moisture, and seasonal temperature changes. Addressing cracks as part of routine pavement maintenance can help protect areas of asphalt that are otherwise still in serviceable condition.

Burden Brothers Paving provides crack filling for commercial parking lots and paved areas throughout Columbus and Central Ohio.

We can identify cracks suitable for filling as well as areas that may require more substantial asphalt repair.

Private Roads & Asphalt Surfaces

Cracks can also develop on private roads, access lanes, and other paved surfaces.

Our team can evaluate the type, width, depth, and extent of the cracking to determine whether crack filling is appropriate or whether another asphalt repair method would provide better results.

Our Asphalt Crack Filling Process

1. Inspect the Asphalt

We begin by evaluating the pavement and the extent of the cracking to determine whether crack filling is an appropriate repair.

2. Prepare the Cracks

Dirt, vegetation, loose material, and debris are removed as necessary so the crack-filling material can properly contact the pavement.

3. Fill Appropriate Cracks

Suitable cracks are filled with asphalt crack-filling material designed to seal the opening and reduce water penetration.

4. Evaluate the Surrounding Pavement

We also look at the condition of the surrounding asphalt. If deterioration extends beyond the cracks themselves, we’ll explain whether repair, resurfacing, or another paving solution should be considered.

Crack Filling vs. Asphalt Repair

Not every asphalt crack should simply be filled.

Crack filling is generally most appropriate when the surrounding asphalt remains structurally sound. If pavement has widespread alligator cracking, significant sinking, potholes, base failure, or extensive deterioration, filling individual cracks may not address the underlying problem.

Depending on the condition of the pavement, Burden Brothers Paving may recommend:

• Asphalt crack filling
• Asphalt patching and repair
• Asphalt resurfacing
• Partial pavement replacement
• New asphalt installation

Our goal is to recommend the service that makes sense for the actual condition of your pavement.

Why Is Asphalt Crack Filling Important in Ohio?

Ohio weather can be particularly tough on asphalt. Water can enter open cracks and reach areas beneath the pavement. When temperatures drop, that moisture can freeze and expand. Repeated freeze-and-thaw cycles can contribute to larger cracks and additional pavement deterioration.

Timely crack maintenance can help:

• Reduce water infiltration
• Slow the spread of existing cracks
• Protect surrounding asphalt
• Improve pavement appearance
• Identify larger pavement problems early
• Extend the useful life of asphalt that remains in good condition

Frequently Asked Questions About Asphalt Crack Filling

What is asphalt crack filling?

Asphalt crack filling is a pavement maintenance process used to fill suitable cracks and reduce the amount of water and debris that can enter the pavement. It can help slow further deterioration when the surrounding asphalt is still in good condition.

When should cracks in an asphalt driveway be filled?

Cracks should generally be addressed before they become significantly wider or develop into more extensive pavement damage. In Columbus, Ohio, addressing cracks before repeated freeze-and-thaw cycles can be especially beneficial.

Does asphalt crack filling prevent cracks from getting worse?

Crack filling can help slow deterioration by limiting water penetration and protecting the surrounding pavement. However, it cannot correct underlying problems such as base failure, significant settling, or severely deteriorated asphalt.

Can you fill cracks in residential asphalt driveways?

Yes. Burden Brothers Paving provides asphalt driveway crack filling in Columbus and surrounding Central Ohio communities. We can inspect the driveway and determine whether crack filling, asphalt repair, or resurfacing is the appropriate solution.

Do you provide crack filling for commercial parking lots?

Yes. We provide asphalt crack filling for commercial parking lots, access lanes, private roads, and other paved surfaces. Crack filling can be incorporated into an overall pavement maintenance plan for commercial properties.

What is the difference between crack filling and asphalt resurfacing?

Crack filling treats individual cracks in pavement that is otherwise in serviceable condition. Asphalt resurfacing involves installing a new asphalt surface over an existing pavement and is generally considered when deterioration is more widespread.

Can all asphalt cracks be filled?

No. Some types of cracking indicate more extensive pavement or base problems. For example, widespread alligator cracking, significant settling, or severely deteriorated areas may require asphalt repair, resurfacing, or replacement rather than simply filling the cracks.

How does Ohio weather affect asphalt cracks?

Central Ohio’s temperature changes can contribute to pavement deterioration. Water can enter cracks and freeze during colder weather. As it freezes and thaws repeatedly, existing cracks may become larger and additional pavement damage can develop.

Should cracks be filled before sealcoating?

Cracks that require repair are generally addressed before sealcoating so they aren’t simply covered by the surface treatment. We can evaluate the pavement and recommend the appropriate preparation based on its condition.

How much does asphalt crack filling cost in Columbus, Ohio?

The cost depends on factors such as the number and size of the cracks, overall pavement condition, size of the property, and amount of preparation required. Burden Brothers Paving can inspect your pavement and provide an estimate based on the work needed.

How do I know whether I need crack filling, repair, or resurfacing?

The condition of the surrounding pavement is one of the most important factors. Isolated cracks in otherwise sound asphalt may be candidates for crack filling, while widespread cracking, potholes, sinking areas, or extensive deterioration may require more substantial repairs. Burden Brothers Paving can evaluate the pavement and recommend the appropriate option.
