Fill Small Cracks Before They Become Potholes
Asphalt crack filling and minor repairs for driveways and small lots in Hickory, North Carolina
Small cracks in your driveway or parking lot may not seem urgent, but water seeps into those openings every time it rains in Hickory, and once it freezes or saturates the base layer, the crack widens and the pavement around it begins to crumble. What starts as a hairline split can turn into a pothole within a season if left untreated. Commercial Striping fills cracks with quality materials that stop water intrusion and prevent further damage before you need to repave or replace the entire surface.
The crew cleans out each crack to remove dirt and debris, then applies a flexible filler that bonds to the edges and moves with the pavement as temperatures change. You will see a sealed seam that blends with the surrounding asphalt and stays intact through normal weather cycles. This service is often paired with seal coating for maximum protection and works well for residential driveways, homeowners association roads, and small commercial lots that need preventive maintenance.

How Early Repair Stops Water From Reaching the Base
When you book crack filling in Hickory with Commercial Striping, the team inspects your pavement to identify all cracks that need attention, then uses tools to remove loose material and dry out each opening before applying filler. Proper prep ensures the material sticks to the edges and forms a watertight seal. You will notice that the filled cracks sit level with the surrounding surface and do not collect water or debris after the next rain.
Once the filler cures, your pavement will be protected from the kind of water damage that leads to potholes and structural failure. The sealed cracks will flex slightly as the asphalt expands and contracts, which keeps the repair intact longer than rigid fillers that crack apart over time. Your driveway or lot will look cleaner, and you will avoid the cost of patching or repaving sections that could have been saved with early attention.
This service handles cracks up to about an inch wide and does not replace sections with deep base damage or large voids. All crack filling is completed with warranty-backed materials and careful application, and it pairs well with seal coating for long-term pavement protection.
