Water is asphalt's worst enemy. When cracks go untreated, water seeps into the pavement base, weakening the foundation from the inside out. In the Midwest, freeze-thaw cycles accelerate this process dramatically — turning a small surface crack into a full-depth failure in just one or two seasons. Professional crack sealing creates a flexible, watertight barrier that moves with the pavement through temperature changes, extending the life of your asphalt by years and saving thousands in potential repair or replacement costs.



Don't just take our word for it. Homeowners, property managers, and HOAs across Ohio and the Midwest have trusted A&D Asphalt to protect and improve their pavement, here's what they had to say.
Most pavement should be crack sealed every 1–2 years, especially before winter. Left untreated, cracks let water seep into the base layer, where freeze-thaw cycles can turn a small crack into a major structural problem.
Crack sealing uses a hot rubberized material designed to flex with pavement movement and is best for active, working cracks. Crack filling is a more rigid, cost-effective option suited for smaller, non-moving cracks. A&D Asphalt will recommend the right approach based on your pavement's condition.
Yes, and we recommend it. Sealing cracks first keeps water out of the base before the seal coat goes down, giving you a longer-lasting, more protected surface. We coordinate both services together so your lot gets the full benefit in one visit.
