Preparing The Driveway For Repairs

 


First we need to prepare the driveway for repairs. It is simply a matter of thoroughly cleaning the damaged repair area and ensuring that it does not allow dust, debris, plants, water or anything else that will mix the cleaning materials with the existing dump. This is especially important for alligator asphalt.

1.Remove dirt and dust: Using a hard-shaking broom, simply sweep the area or its surroundings for repairs If you do not have a hard-shaking broom around the garage, a broom should work properly. You can usually find a cheap broom at the local hardware store or you can always pick up a professional grade broom from us and get everything in one place to make things easier.

     Also if you decide to use water (from a hose or a pressure washer), you want to make sure the area is completely dry before making repairs. Remember, the problem with using water is that it will penetrate the asphalt cracks and there is no way to avoid moisture if you keep the cracks. This can cause problems on the road. So, if you decide to use water, we recommend using this method only on hot days and wait at least 24 hours before applying any ingredients.



2.Plant Removal: If you are on a tight budget and lie around a triangle shaped garden, you can probably use the sharp angular tip to get rid of the plant from the cracks that you will probably see in the alligator asphalt or wide cracks. Simply stick the angled part of the crack and pull towards you. Repeat until the plants are finished. This tool should work very well for holes or sinkholes. Garden foliage is usually a thin material and probably can’t stand for work. All you have to look for is a thick steel triangle that will take a beating against the hard damk driveway. If you are the type of person who always wants to go out and buy the best money, we can usually sell you a professional grade crack ho, which is usually made with the advice of a heavier fee than the garden hook.

     Also if you are the type who likes to play with fire then we have only one tool for you. For about $100, we sell a tool that spreads a blazing hot flame and roasts the plant in seconds. Our Asphalt Crack Torch runs on top of standard propane and is also great for drying wet spots or melting snow around the pothole area. If you’re more into budgeting and just want to draw the basics, that’s fine too. Our heat flame crack torch is not absolutely necessary but you can pay for it in the long run with several large driveways or lots of plants.

Crack Sealing on the pavement surface

Image
  Crack sealing is a method in which hot sealant is applied to working cracks to prevent water intrusion.Crack seal products are used to fill individual pavement cracks to prevent entry of water or other non-compressible substances such as sand, dirt, rocks or weeds. Crack sealant is typically used on early stage longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks, reflection cracks and block cracks. Fatigue cracks are most often too extensive to warrant filling with crack sealer; they usually require an area treatment such as a patch or reconstruction. Crack filler material is typically some form of rubberized asphalt or sand slurry. In every crack seal estimate, Asphalt Driveway includes routing, a process performed before cracks are sealed. Routing is done with a piece of equipment that expands all cracks to ¼” wide, which creates a reservoir for the rubberized crack sealant to sit in. Next, crews clean out the cracks to allow the best adhesion possible. Finally, rubber is installed into the...
