Crack Repair Services
Prevent Water Damage and Surface Deterioration
Cracks in asphalt allow water to penetrate the surface. In Minnesota, this becomes especially problematic during freeze-thaw cycles, when trapped moisture expands and widens existing damage.
Professional crack repair helps:
- Reduce further surface deterioration
- Protect the underlying base
- Extend asphalt lifespan
- Maintain a smoother surface
Addressing cracks early is one of the most important steps in asphalt maintenance.

Our Crack Repair Process
The Steps
1. Evaluate the Cracks
We assess the condition, width, depth, and surrounding pavement to determine the most effective repair method.
Not all cracks are the same, and proper evaluation helps ensure the best long-term result.
2. Prepare the Area
Cracks are cleaned to remove dirt, debris, vegetation, and loose material.
Proper preparation allows the repair material to bond correctly and improves performance.
3. Crack Repair Installation
We use the appropriate method for the situation:
Hot rubber crack sealing for long-term flexibility and water protection.
This method helps prevent water from entering the pavement structure, which is one of the leading causes of asphalt deterioration.
4. Finishing & Inspection
Repairs are completed carefully to ensure proper coverage and performance.
We inspect the work to confirm it meets quality standards before considering the job complete.
What to Expect After Crack Repair
- Repairs will remain visible after completion
- Sealed cracks may appear slightly raised or textured
- Weather conditions can affect scheduling and performance
- Some surface separation may still be visible depending on pavement age
- Crack sealing helps slow deterioration but does not restore the entire pavement surface
Important Notes & Expectations
- Crack repair is a maintenance service, not a structural reconstruction
- It is designed to reduce water intrusion and extend pavement life
- Performance depends on existing pavement condition
- Older or heavily deteriorated asphalt may continue to show surface wear
- Timing of sealcoating (if applicable) should follow manufacturer recommendations
Why Proper Crack Repair Matters
Skipping crack repair allows water to penetrate the pavement, which can lead to:
- Base layer damage
- Pothole formation
- Surface deterioration
- Increased long-term repair costs
We focus on doing the repair correctly so you get the best balance of:
- Cost
- Durability
- Long-term performance
Patch Repair
Restoring Damaged Asphalt Areas
When asphalt becomes damaged or begins to break down, patch repair restores the affected section while maintaining structural integrity.
Patch repairs are commonly used for:
- Driveways
- Residential surfaces
- Small commercial areas
- Localized surface damage
Our approach focuses on clean cuts, proper preparation, and durable repair methods designed for long-term performance.
Patch repair helps prevent damage from spreading and keeps surfaces safe and functional.
Infrared Asphalt Repair
Seamless Repair Technology
Infrared repair is a specialized method that uses heat to soften existing asphalt, allowing it to be reworked and blended with new material.
This technique can be effective for certain potholes and surface repairs, helping create a more seamless transition between repaired and existing pavement.
Infrared repair allows for efficient restoration in appropriate conditions and can reduce visible seams in the finished surface.
Infrared can be done all year long and in most weather conditions (active rain, snow and extreme cold will be main determination).
Residential & Small Commercial Repairs

- Driveways
