Crack sealing, a critical service offered by Newman's Ground Effects stands at the forefront of maintaining pavement integrity in Ellsworth, Maine. Our 10 years of experience have honed our expertise in this essential maintenance task, safeguarding roads from the adverse effects of water intrusion. At Newman's Ground Effects, we understand that cracks in the pavement, a common occurrence due to traffic load and thermal stress, must be addressed promptly to prevent accelerated deterioration.
Our approach to crack sealing is meticulous and tailored, ensuring each project receives the attention it deserves.
Our team of professional contractors begins each project with a detailed inspection of the pavement. This crucial step involves identifying the various types and locations of cracks and assessing the overall pavement condition. This thorough evaluation is the cornerstone of our service, allowing us to devise an effective treatment plan.
To prepare for the sealing process, our team meticulously cleans the cracks and their surrounding areas. This involves removing all forms of dirt, debris, and vegetation, using professional equipment such as high-powered air compressors or crack cleaning machines. This step ensures a clean, dry surface, critical for the successful application of the sealant.
Our crack-filling and sealing process involves the use of high-quality sealants, applied with precision and care. Whether employing hot-applied or cold-applied methods, our approach guarantees a strong bond with the pavement, effectively preventing further water penetration. The goal is to achieve a uniform and consistent application, which is essential for long-term pavement protection.
In certain cases, particularly with wider or more severe cracks, our team employs a routing machine to create a V-shaped groove along the crack. This process increases the bonding surface area for the sealant, thereby enhancing its effectiveness.
Post application, we ensure that the sealed cracks are smoothed and leveled to match the surrounding pavement, creating a seamless finish. The curing and drying process is carefully monitored, allowing the sealant to set properly before the pavement is reopened to traffic.
Quality is at the core of our service. Following the sealing process, a comprehensive inspection is conducted to ensure that the work meets our high standards. Additionally, we invite clients to review the completed work, ensuring their satisfaction and addressing any concerns they might have.
