Restorative Asphalt Sealing & Repair

Crack Sealing & Repairs

Protect your parking lot with proper asphalt sealing and repairs, provided by Fine Line Asphalt Solutions LLC. Our experts have sealed hazardous cracks in parking lots throughout Northeast Georgia.

Keep warm water from seeping in through cracks of your parking lot with the right sealant. Seal coating helps maintain the life of your asphalt and also gives your lot a fresh look.

If your parking lot develops large cracks from erosion and damage, we provide hot crack sealing. Depending on the severity of the damage, we may also patch your asphalt by cutting our the area and filling it with new material.

Asphalt Repairs

We‘re equipped with large capacity, State-of-the-Art, sealcoating equipment to handle the largest jobs. Fixing potholes in your parking lot quickly is important for several reasons:

  • Preventing bigger problems later on. Potholes allow water to penetrate your parking lot. Water that sits on asphalt and seeps into the cracks will eventually deteriorate the base of your parking lot, requiring much larger repairs later.
  • Maintaining curb appeal. Potholes make your property look rundown and uninviting to customers.

Patching and Repair

Failed areas of a parking lot need to be repaired to prevent further deterioration and base erosion. This will help to extend the life of the parking lot, delaying  the need for complete removals. Several options are available to repair failed asphalt, including full depth repair, partial depth repair, and surface patching.

Surface Patching

Surface patching involves installing 1–2 inches of asphalt in designated failing areas of the parking lot. It is similar to resurfacing but on a smaller scale. The asphalt is installed with an asphalt paver and compacted much like the installation of the original parking lot. This option is often suggested for areas that are cracking but not crumbling.

Although a surface patch will help prevent water from further penetrating the asphalt, it is still a temporary fix, with an estimated lifetime of approximately two years, depending on traffic and use of the area. The edges of the patch are tapered to the original asphalt and are subject to abuse by by general traffic.

Partial Depth Repair

A partial depth repair involves grinding off the top 2–3 inches of asphalt, replacing it with new compacted asphalt. Although a partial depth repair is more costly than surface patching, it is a considerably less expensive option than a full depth repair and can be performed in about half the time. Partial depth repair is only feasible when the deterioration occurs in the surface layer of asphalt. It is not suggested when problems are caused by a sub-base failure. One benefit of performing a partial depth repair rather than patching is that the edges and grade match the surrounding asphalt, which eliminates problems with raveling edges.

Full Depth Repair

A full depth repair is necessary when the failed area can’t be fixed with any general maintenance techniques. A full depth repair requires removing all asphalt in the failing areas all the way to the sub-base. If the sub-base is found to be soft, the area will be undercut until a solid base is found. Aggregate is then installed and the asphalt replaced. Annual inspections and periodic patching of your asphalt surface can help prevent serious deterioration and the need for full depth repairs.
