Crack and Joint Fillers:
Stop Damage Before It Spreads
1. Rubberized Asphalt Crack Filler: Flexibility Meets Durability
Rubberized asphalt filler (Wikipedia: Pavement Preservation) is a go-to solution for active cracks that expand and contract with temperature swings. Infused with recycled rubber, this material stays pliable in extreme heat and cold to:
- Waterproof cracks and prevent moisture from eroding the base layer.
- Resist reopening as pavement naturally shifts.
- Eco-friendly option (contains recycled tire rubber).
Ideal for: Driveways, parking lots.
2. Polymer-Modified Joint Sealant: Heavy-Duty Protection
For larger joints (e.g., expansion joints in concrete or asphalt) or high-traffic areas, polymer-modified sealant (DBpedia: Pavement Joints) delivers unmatched adhesion and longevity. Engineered with advanced polymers, it:
- Withstands heavy loads without cracking or pulling away.
- Remains flexible in temperatures from -20°F to 150°F.
- Seals gaps up to 3 inches wide, common in commercial lots and roadways.
Ideal for: Industrial sites, warehouse aprons, and highways.
3. Hot Pour Sealant: Deep Penetration for Severe Damage
Hot-applied rubberized sealant is melted and poured into cracks for a permanent bond. This method is perfect for older pavements with deep, irregular fissures because it:
- Fills voids completely, blocking water from reaching the subgrade.
- Adheres tightly to vertical and horizontal surfaces.
- Lasts 2–3x longer than cold-applied fillers.
Ideal for: Aging pavements, alligator cracks, and high-moisture environments.

Why Professional Crack Filling Matters
DIY crack filling often fails due to improper cleaning, material choice, or application. Empire Paving’s Asphalt Filling services ensure:
- Thorough Cleaning: Blowing out debris with high-pressure air or routing cracks for optimal adhesion.
- Right Material Match: Selecting rubberized, polymer, or hot-pour fillers based on crack size, traffic, and climate.
- Precision Application: Using specialized equipment to avoid overfilling or underfilling.
- Preventative Strategy: Identifying underlying issues (e.g., drainage problems) during inspection.
Pair with Sealcoating for Total Protection
Crack filling is just one step in a proactive maintenance plan. Combine it with our Parking Lot Maintenance services to shield your pavement from UV rays, oil spills, and oxidation. Together, these treatments can add 10+ years to your asphalt’s lifespan.
