Maintaining clean, clear, and structurally sound pavement markings is essential for any commercial property. Striping and crack fill are two foundational services that preserve safety, enhance curb appeal, and protect your pavement investment. Alta Paving & Concrete delivers high-quality striping and crack filling services tailored to the unique needs of your property.
Why Striping Matters
Purpose of Pavement Markings
Pavement striping ensures proper traffic flow, maximizes parking efficiency, and maintains ADA compliance. Well-marked lines guide vehicles and pedestrians safely and clearly across your property.
First Impressions and Professionalism
Fresh striping reflects well on your business. Crisp, visible lines show that a property is well maintained, helping to attract and retain tenants and clients alike.
Safety and Liability
Proper striping reduces the likelihood of accidents by clearly designating lanes, parking stalls, crosswalks, fire lanes, and loading zones. This helps minimize liability risks on your property.
Understanding Crack Fill
What Is Crack Fill?
Crack filling involves sealing surface cracks in asphalt to prevent water from penetrating the subbase. Unfilled cracks lead to potholes and major surface failures, increasing repair costs.
Why It’s Important
Water infiltration is the number one cause of asphalt degradation. Crack filling stops this process early, preventing larger problems and extending the life of your pavement.
Striping and Crack Fill Process
Crack Fill Procedure
- Cleaning the Cracks: All debris and vegetation are removed to ensure proper adhesion.
- Heating the Filler: Rubberized crack sealant is heated to the correct temperature.
- Application: The material is poured directly into the crack and smoothed for an even finish.
- Curing: The sealant is allowed to set before allowing traffic to resume.
Striping Process
- Surface Preparation: Pavement is cleaned, and any necessary repairs are completed first.
- Layout and Measurement: Our crew lays out all markings according to plan, including ADA stalls.
- Application: Using high-quality traffic paint, we apply clear and consistent lines.
- Dry Time: Paint is allowed to dry and cure. Most lots are ready for traffic within a few hours.
How Often Should Striping and Crack Fill Be Done?
- Crack Filling: Annually or as needed depending on climate and traffic conditions.
- Striping: Every 1-2 years or when paint begins to fade or wear.
