Hot-Applied Crack Sealing That Stands Behind Its Own Performance
When Triangle Paving Co, Inc. seals cracks on your commercial property, we stand behind the result. Our hot-applied rubberized crack sealing is designed for the demanding, active cracks that lower-cost fillers can’t handle — the cracks that expand and contract with Albuquerque, NM’s thermal cycles, flex under traffic loads, and would otherwise progress into structural failures. Since 1978, we have been sealing working cracks on commercial properties across central New Mexico, and the materials we use combined with the care we take produce results that hold up.
Most pavement contractors treat every crack with the same low-cost filler regardless of whether that’s appropriate. The result: filled cracks that split open again within a season, leaving property owners wondering why the treatment didn’t work. Triangle Paving does it differently. We evaluate each crack, apply the right treatment for the conditions, and use hot-applied sealants where performance depends on elasticity and adhesion that only quality materials can provide.
Crack Types Best Treated With Hot-Applied Sealing
- Working Longitudinal Cracks — Active cracks running parallel to traffic that expand and contract with temperature
- Transverse Cracks — Cracks perpendicular to traffic direction that typically experience the most thermal movement
- Reflective Cracks — Cracks that have reflected upward from underlying joints or older pavement below
- Block Cracks Before Progression — Larger pattern cracks that haven’t yet deteriorated to full alligator failure
- Wide Cracks Beyond Filling Range — Cracks too wide for standard crack filler but not yet requiring patching
- Edge Cracks With Active Movement — Perimeter cracks that experience ongoing expansion and settlement
Our Commercial Crack Sealing Solution
- Crack Evaluation — We assess each crack to determine the correct treatment method and appropriate material
- Routing When Appropriate — For some cracks, we route the edges to create a uniform reservoir that improves sealant performance
- Thorough Cleaning — High-pressure compressed air removes all debris, moisture, and vegetation from crack interiors
- Hot-Applied Sealant Installation — Rubberized sealant is heated to correct temperature and applied with commercial kettle equipment
- Proper Overband — Sealant is overbanded at correct width to provide adequate coverage without creating traffic issues
- Quality Verification — We inspect each sealed crack for correct placement, coverage, and finish before signing off
What Makes Our Sealing Work Hold Up
- Commercial-Grade Sealants — We use professional hot-applied rubberized sealants engineered for demanding commercial conditions
- Correct Application Temperatures — Sealants must be applied within specific temperature ranges for proper performance, and we monitor this carefully
- Dry Cracks Only — Sealant can’t bond to moisture, so we work only when conditions allow a proper bond
- Clean Substrate — Proper cleaning is non-negotiable; dirty cracks cause sealant failure regardless of material quality
- Right Treatment Match — We seal the cracks that need sealing and fill the ones that need filling, not a one-size-fits-all approach
