Crack Sealing is performed after the fact, when your pavement has hardened and begun opening up allowing moisture to enter the base and support structure of your pavement. Once this occurs, the rate of deterioration and damage to your pavement and cost to repair will accelerate significantly unless you act quickly and with quality materials that are properly installed.
At Gee Asphalt, we install only the products we are 100% confident in. When it comes to crack sealant that means it must bond well to crack walls, be elastic enough to stretch without tearing apart in cold temperatures, and not crack when temps go up to 100 degrees or more. We routinely install hot applied crack sealants meeting ASTM 3405 standards manufactured by Crafco, W.R. Meadows, and Maxwell. We also install single and double component cold applied crack sealants during fringe season or southern climates.
As an added benefit to you, Gee Asphalt Systems will come to your location and conduct a training program to assist your organization in understanding and developing a preservation strategy tailored to your specific needs so you can protect your investment.

After the crack sealing and preservation work is complete, lining and traffic markings must be redone to add the finishing touch to your job. Striping and traffic markings are the most visible aspect of a pavement preservation project. By correctly striping paved surfaces, the safety, appearance and performance of markings is greatly enhanced.
We consider and monitor these important criteria before and during all striping projects:
-
being alert of local climate and forecast weather conditions
-
determining the condition and evenness of the pavement surface to accept paint
-
choosing proper paint for compatibility with intended use
-
applying the correct quantity of paint for superior wearability
-
using fast-drying paint to minimize drying time and speed re-opening
-
using color to suit the client's specifications
-
replacing/correcting desired traffic flow markings
-
complying with ADA requirements.
Markings will normally last about two seasons depending upon weather, climate, and traffic conditions. Higher volume traffic, abrasives and de-icer's can significantly reduce the performance of all traffic markings.
Occasionally there is a change of use and a need to re-configure traffic markings. Permanent removal is accomplished using rotary head diamond bit grinders designed specifically for this purpose. These cutters are designed to remove as much paint as possible while at the same time minimizing damage to pavement surfaces.
