Professional Crack Sealing Services in Oregon
Cracks in your asphalt aren't just unsightly—they're the beginning of serious pavement failure. At Cojo Excavation & Asphalt, we provide professional crack sealing services throughout Oregon that stop deterioration before it starts.
### Why Crack Sealing is Critical in Oregon
Oregon's climate is particularly harsh on cracked asphalt. When water enters cracks during our rainy season, it can:
- **Freeze and Expand**: Even in the Willamette Valley, winter temperatures can freeze water in cracks, causing them to widen
- **Erode the Base**: Water reaching the gravel base washes away supporting material
- **Create Potholes**: Undermined asphalt collapses under traffic weight
- **Cause Alligator Cracking**: Interconnected cracks spread across the surface
**The good news?** Proper crack sealing can prevent all of these problems at a fraction of the cost of major repairs.
### Our Hot-Pour Crack Sealing Process
We use commercial-grade, hot-pour rubberized crack filler that remains flexible through temperature changes—essential for Oregon's variable climate.
**Our process includes:**
1. **Crack Routing** (when needed): Creating a uniform reservoir for optimal sealant adhesion 2. **Thorough Cleaning**: Removing all debris, vegetation, and loose material with compressed air 3. **Hot-Pour Application**: Applying rubberized sealant at 375-400°F for maximum adhesion 4. **Proper Filling**: Slightly overfilling to account for settling 5. **Surface Finishing**: Ensuring smooth transitions that won't catch snowplows or trip pedestrians
### Types of Cracks We Repair
- **Linear Cracks**: Straight cracks from thermal expansion/contraction
- **Block Cracking**: Interconnected cracks forming rectangular patterns
- **Edge Cracks**: Deterioration along pavement edges
- **Reflection Cracks**: Cracks that telegraph through from underlying layers
- **Joint Cracks**: Separation at construction joints
### When to Call for Crack Repair
Don't wait until cracks are 1/2" wide or larger. Ideally, crack sealing should be performed when cracks are 1/4" to 1/2" wide. Cracks smaller than 1/4" can often be addressed during seal coating, while cracks larger than 1" may require more extensive patching.
