ALLIGATOR CRACK REPAIRS
What Are Alligator Cracks?
Alligator cracks resemble a pattern of interconnected cracks that resemble scales of an alligator, hence the name. They are also known as spider cracks and this damaged asphalt typically indicates deeper structural and foundation issues. These cracks should be addressed promptly to avoid further breakdown. Core 4 has a number of options when repairing these areas and our team of experts will recommend the best repair.
How Are Alligator Cracks Repaired?
To restore the asphalt area, we use a rubberized hot filler that we pour and spread on the alligator surface. This filler has expansion properties due to its higher rubber content. This is critical so that with the extreme hot and cold the rubber crack filler will expand and contract with the temperature swings.
Alligator Crack Repairs can be done very quickly and can be driven on shortly after sealing is completed, keeping traffic disruptions to a minimum. You can anticipate that the sealing will last 2-3 years in ideal conditions before more maintenance is needed. Once it’s time for some touch ups, we’ll be right there to work with you again.
