CRACKFILLING
Crack sealer is an elastic material designed to seal joints and cracks against moisture infiltration into the subgrade. Subgrade moisture is one of the leading causes of pavement failure, so it is essential that asphalt cracking is attended to promptly in order to extend the life of the pavement and save money long-term. Typically, we recommend filling cracks and joints 1/4 inch wide or greater.
SEALCOATING
Sealcoating is designed to protect asphalt pavements from the damaging effects of the environment, including moisture and ultraviolet oxidation. Protecting pavement with sealcoating has basically the same effect as using sun block on your skin or varnish on wood. It slows the destructive effects of our extreme climate. Sealcoating also minimizes raveling (the loss of aggregate) and fills minor voids in the surface. Another benefit includes creating a uniform color and appearance for all paved asphalt surfaces. Sealcoating and restriping of parking spaces and crosswalks improves trafficflow and enhances public safety
To reduce long-term maintenance expenses, Merit recommends that pavement be sealcoated every two to three years, depending on traffic and overall condition. Pavements that exhibit extensive cracking, base failure, or severe surface raveling will not significantly benefit from sealcoating. Normal curing time is 24 hours for moderate temperature and humidity conditions.
PARKING BUMPERS AMD SPEED BUMPS
Installing car stops can protect structures and landscape from vehicle damage and encourage drivers to pull forward all the way into a parking space, providing adequate drive lane clearance. We drill and pin all of our installed car stops.
Asphalt speed bumps can be customized to conform to the needs of the location.
