What Does Mastic Do for Larger Cracks?
Over time, asphalt expands, contracts, and settles, causing cracks to widen. Once a crack becomes too large, traditional hot rubber crack filler is no longer enough to provide a long-lasting repair.
In this repair:
Before: The crack had widened significantly with deteriorating, broken edges. If left untreated, water would continue to pe*****te beneath the asphalt, leading to further deterioration, potholes, and eventual pavement failure.
After: We cleaned the damaged area thoroughly and applied asphalt mastic, a durable, fiber-reinforced repair material that fills the entire damaged section—not just the crack itself.
Benefits of Mastic Repair:
✔ Seals out water and prevents further damage to the pavement base.
✔ Reinforces larger cracks and deteriorated joints where standard crack sealant would fail.
✔ Creates a smoother, safer surface for both vehicles and pedestrians.
✔ Extends the life of the pavement and helps delay costly asphalt replacement.
✔ Remains flexible, allowing it to move with the pavement through seasonal temperature changes.
Mastic isn't intended to make the repair disappear cosmetically—its purpose is to provide a strong, waterproof, long-lasting repair that protects your investment and keeps small problems from becoming major repairs.
This type of repair is ideal for large cracks, failed joints, alligator edges, and areas where the asphalt has started to break apart but is still structurally sound.
