Crack Filling & Repairs Toronto

We specialize in asphalt crack filling and repair for parking lots, residential driveways, and commercial driveways. No matter the size of the crack, it’s important to seek repair services as soon as possible. Cracks leave the driveway vulnerable to sinking, leaks, and shifting. Without prompt repairs, your asphalt’s lifespan can be significantly shortened, and it could become hazardous. Our team will clean the cracks to remove stuck debris, dirt, and weeds before filling them with a top-grade sealant. If the cracks aren’t cleaned prior to filling, the sealant will not bond properly with the asphalt.

Problems

Cracks & Potholes: Asphalt cracks and potholes are a common challenge. However, if left untreated, even minor cracks can lead to bigger problems that require more complex and costly repairs.
Weather Damage: Asphalt expands and contracts from winter to summer due to the change in hot and cold temperatures. This can lead to cracks, gaps, and sinking from water damage.
Aesthetic Decline: Years of exposure to the elements combined with regular usage leads to driveway wear and tear. As a result, the asphalt can fade and crack.
Driveway Sinking: Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rainfall can soften the ground as well as cause and exacerbate driveway cracks, leading to sinking. A sunken driveway poses many safety risks, including basement leaks and flooding.

Answers

Professional Sealing: Asphalt driveway sealing is a quick and effective solution to cracks and potholes caused by regular use and weather exposure.
Weatherproofing: Weatherproof sealants reduce the negative effects UV rays, temperature changes, rain, and snow have on driveways. We recommend sealing your driveway every 2 to 3 years for the best results.
Regular Maintenance: Driveway maintenance includes repairs, sealing, and regular cleaning. Maintenance is key to prolonging your driveway’s lifespan and preventing early signs of wear and tear.
Repairs and Preventive Measures: Mudjacking and polyurethane foam injections are two common methods used to repair and prevent driveway sinking. If the damage is extensive, a driveway replacement may be necessary.

Sealing 101

Our Toronto driveway sealing process is optimized for efficiency and effectiveness. In just three simple steps, we seal residential and commercial driveways flawlessly. Here’s how we do it:

Surface Preparation

Our team will clear your entire driveway of weeds and loose asphalt to guarantee a smooth, unobstructed surface for sealing.

Dust and Debris Removal

We use professional equipment to blow away dirt and debris such as leaves and sticks.

Sealcoat Application

Our team will apply 2 coats of premium, weatherproof, and eco-friendly driveway sealant to the surface. The process should take a day at most to finish, depending on the size of your driveway.

Extended Lifespan: On average, asphalt sealing can extend your driveway’s lifespan another 2 to 3 years per application.
Crack Prevention:Driveway sealing reduces the oxidation rate of the asphalt as well as limits water penetration, resulting in up to 65% fewer cracks than driveways that aren’t sealed.
Weather Resistance: Weatherproof sealants safeguard your driveway from freeze-thaw cycles, cracks, water damage, and UV rays.
Improved Appearance: Sealing your driveway every 2 to 3 years keeps the asphalt from looking faded or damaged. This boosts the overall curb appeal of your property.
Cost-Effective Maintenance: The cost of sealing your driveway is a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. While the average sealing cost is $0.45 per square foot, replacing your driveway can cost $3 to $12+ per square foot.
Enhanced Safety: Sealing prevents cracks, gaps, loose asphalt, and driveway sinking. As a result, you’re less likely to injure yourself, damage your car, or experience basement water leaks.
Stain Resistance: Driveway sealants form a non-porous barrier that protects the surface from oil, gas, and chemical stains. This minimizes stain penetration over the driveway’s lifespan by up to 90%.
Increased Property Value: A well-maintained driveway increases your home’s curb appeal and can potentially add up to 3% in overall property value.

FAQs

What Is Driveway Sealing and Why Is It Necessary?

Driveway sealing involves applying a protective layer to asphalt driveways to shield them from damage caused by water, oil, UV rays, and wear and tear. It’s necessary to prolong the life of your driveway, improve its appearance, and prevent costly repairs.

How Often Should My Driveway Be Sealed?

Generally, driveways should be sealed every 2-3 years, but this can vary based on the driveway’s exposure to harsh weather, the amount of traffic it receives, and the type of sealant used.

Can I Seal My Driveway Myself, or Should I Hire Professionals?

While DIY kits are available, professional sealing ensures a high-quality, longer-lasting result. Professionals have access to superior materials and possess the expertise to apply the sealant evenly and efficiently.

How Long Does the Sealing Process Take, and How Soon Can I Use My Driveway Afterwards?

The sealing process is usually finished within a few hours, with the exact time varying based on the size of your driveway. We recommend avoiding using the driveway for at least 24-48 hours afterward to allow the sealant ample time to dry and cure fully, ensuring optimal protection and longevity.

Can Driveway Sealing Fill in Existing Cracks and Potholes?

Driveway sealing is a preventive measure designed to protect your asphalt from future damage. However, as part of our comprehensive service, we also address existing cracks and potholes before applying the sealant. This ensures a smooth, uniform surface that not only looks great but is also better protected against the elements.

Is Driveway Sealing Environmentally Friendly?

Our sealants are eco-friendly, formulated with lower volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to minimize environmental impact. As the professionals handling your driveway sealing needs, we’re committed to advising you on the most sustainable options available, ensuring your driveway looks great and aligns with environmental considerations.

Considering DIY? Here’s What You Need to Know

Thinking of tackling driveway sealing on your own?

It’s a common consideration for many homeowners. While a DIY approach might seem cost-effective, there are essential factors to consider before diving in

Skill Level and Equipment.
Do you have the right tools and expertise? Professional sealing requires specific equipment and materials that are often not readily available for DIY enthusiasts.
Quality and Durability.
DIY solutions may offer temporary fixes, but they often fall short in terms of the durability and quality that professional-grade sealants provide.

Time and Effort.
Sealing a driveway is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Professionals can complete the job efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Long-Term Cost Efficiency.
Incorrectly applied sealant can lead to more significant issues down the line, potentially costing more than hiring a professional from the start.

For a lasting solution that ensures quality, durability, and peace of mind, consider the benefits of professional driveway sealing. Our expert team at Driveway Sealing is equipped to provide top-notch service, saving you time and hassle. Ready for a worry-free, professional finish?
