Crack Sealing

CRACK SEALING PROGRAM

CRACK SEALING

The crack sealing repair is normally used on streets with a PCI between 55 and 95 (with the rating of 100 being used on a new street).

	Consists of cleaning debris out of the cracks in the pavement surface and filling the cracks with a sealant.
	Typically used for cracks less than ¾” wide.
	Prevents surface water infiltration into the pavement foundation.
	Prevents spalling and/or spreading of cracks in the pavement.
	Very successful when used in combination with a seal coat.

ACCESS TO PROPERTY

Residents may have access to their properties occasionally interrupted during construction days and on street parking may be temporarily prohibited. The contractor has been instructed to give residents notice prior to such interruptions.

LANDSCAPE RESTORATION

The Crack Sealing process will typically not disturb boulevard areas.
