Professional Asphalt Crack Repair To Extend the Life of Your Pavement
Cracks develop due to various factors such as traffic load, UV exposure, oxidation, weather cycles, and even invasive tree roots. Left untreated, moisture infiltration can lead to base failure, potholes, and other costly repairs.
Proactive asphalt crack filling is one of the most effective ways for property owners, facility managers, and HOAs to protect their investment. Stopping the spread of damage early extends pavement longevity and saves money in the long run.
Crack Filling vs. Crack Sealing — What’s the Difference?
Understanding the difference between crack filling and crack sealing is key to choosing the right solution for your pavement.
- Crack Filling: Designed for non-working cracks with minimal movement that have not spread.
- Crack Sealing: Uses a flexible, rubberized sealant for cracks that expand and contract, often due to freeze-thaw cycles.
Crack filling is ideal for stable, unexpanded cracks, while crack sealing is more effective for cracks that experience movement.
Our expert team will assess the crack’s severity and location to determine the best repair method for long-term durability.
Signs Your Charlotte Parking Lot or Roadway Needs Asphalt Crack Repair
Property managers and owners should look out for these early signs that crack repair is needed on their parking lot or roadway:
Linear cracks, block cracks, edge cracks, spreading/faulting.
Moisture has entered the cracks.
Depression or soft spots forming.
Alligator cracking – requires patching, not filling.
Additionally, cracks ¼ inch or wider are ideal for crack filling. Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious problems, such as potholes, structural decline, and safety hazards.
Our Proven Asphalt Crack Repair Process
At Carolina Asphalt, we follow a detailed asphalt crack repair process to restore integrity and extend pavement lifespan.
Inspection & Evaluation
We identify the crack type, severity, depth, and surrounding pavement condition. This helps us determine whether crack filling or crack sealing is best.
Cleaning the Cracks
Using a wire brush, broom, or compressed air, we remove all debris, vegetation, and dirt from the cracks. Clean surfaces ensure proper adhesion of the filler or sealant.
Routing (When Needed)
If necessary, we widen the crack slightly to ensure the filler material adheres correctly and fills the crack evenly.
Hot Pour Crack Filler Application
We apply a flexible, rubberized material to the cracks, ensuring it’s heated to the right temperature. Hot-pour filler is more durable than cold-pour options.
Smoothing, Finishing & Cure Time
We smooth out the filler so it’s flush with the surrounding surface. Proper curing creates a durable, long-lasting seal.
Quality Check & Next-Step Recommendations
We inspect the repair to ensure it meets our high-quality standards. If necessary, we recommend sealcoating for added protection.
Enhance durability by combining crack repair with our comprehensive pavement maintenance solutions.

Asphalt Crack Repair FAQs
What types of cracks can be repaired?
Linear, block, and transverse cracks that are ¼ inch or wider can be filled. Alligator cracks require patching, not filling.

Asphalt crack filling is ideal in dry conditions with temperatures above freezing. However, it can still be done in colder seasons, depending on weather conditions.

Crack filling is much more affordable than resurfacing. It also saves money in the long run by preventing more expensive repairs later.
