The properties of asphalt pavement allow it to expand and contract with fluctuations in the material temperature. However, extreme cold temperatures can cause asphalt pavements to contract to a point that exceed the material’s elastic capabilities, resulting in thermally cracked pavements. If these cracks are left untreated, the asphalt layer, granular base, and lower soil layers are susceptible to damage from water that infiltrates the crack. Water can “strip” the asphalt binder from the sides of the crack, weakening the pavement structure. Water can also increase the moisture content of the granular base and subgrade soils, thereby weakening the foundation...

How Much Does Asphalt Crack Filling Cost? Asphalt crack filling costs $100 to $300 per 100 linear feet to cover typical cracks.

Resurfacing is typically more cost-effective and it averages around $1.75 to $2.25 per square FT to complete. For new asphalt driveway installations, the cost lies between $3 to $4 per square FT. To make your resurfacing even more cost effective use a Pavemade asphalt crack filler machine and hot rubber crack sealant to do some up front maintenance...

Asphalt repairs cost anywhere from $20 to $6,000 or more. Most homeowners spend $900 to $3,100 for repairs. You can purchase a basic hot tar crack filling machine from Pavemade for under $1400. This doesn't account for roadway paving and sealing. An option instead of driveway replacement is repaving or overlaying the existing private road around the 15-year mark.This entails adding a new layer of asphalt over the existing. Most importantly, it’s catching the asphalt at a point in time so it can be saved without totally replacing. This service costs about $1.75 to $2.25 per square FT. If a driveway...
