Crack Filling
Cracks are the first sign your driveway needs attention—and they don’t fix themselves. At Elite Sealcoating, we repair them before they spread, using hot rubberized material that flexes with your asphalt through every freeze and thaw. When cracks are sealed early, you prevent water intrusion, base erosion, and the costly chain reaction that leads to full replacement.
Driveway Crack Filling in Columbus Ohio
In Ohio, it only takes one winter for a small crack to turn into a major problem. Water seeps in, freezes, expands, and tears your asphalt apart from the inside. Once that process starts, no amount of sealcoating will stop it—you’ve got to close the entry point.
That’s where we come in. Crack filling is one of the most critical steps in pavement preservation. It’s not cosmetic—it’s structural. When done right, it stops deterioration, strengthens the surface, and extends the life of your entire driveway.
Here’s the truth: most driveways fail from the bottom up, not the top down. When cracks open, water reaches the base layer. The base softens, shifts, and breaks apart. Soon, your driveway starts flexing, breaking, and potholes appear.
By filling cracks as soon as they show, you’re protecting the foundation of your pavement. Our hot rubberized filler creates a watertight seal that moves with your asphalt through summer heat and winter cold. It won’t crumble, pop out, or wash away.
We don’t treat crack filling as an upsell—it’s the foundation of a job done right. When you hire Elite Sealcoating, you’re hiring a company that values doing it properly, not quickly. We’ll never seal over cracks or skip prep work to save time.
Our Crack Repair Process
Our method is simple, precise, and proven to last.
Step 1: Inspection
We examine each crack to understand its depth, cause, and spread. Only then do we recommend the right repair approach.
Step 2: Cleaning
We clear each crack using high-pressure air or a heat lance, removing dirt, moisture, and debris. This ensures the filler bonds directly to the asphalt, not loose material.
Step 3: Heating & Filling
We heat rubberized crack filler to the proper temperature and pour it directly into each crack. The material flows deep, sealing the joint completely.
Step 4: Tooling & Finish
We slightly overfill and tool smooth, leaving a flat, sealed surface that blends with your driveway. No uneven lumps or sloppy seams.
Step 5: Final Inspection
Before we leave, we double-check the surface for full coverage. Once cured, the filler forms a flexible, waterproof joint that locks out water year-round.
Once cracks are sealed, we recommend finishing with professional sealcoating. The two services work together—crack filling protects the structure, sealcoating protects the surface.
The result? A clean, uniform driveway that resists cracking, looks great, and lasts years longer than untreated asphalt.
When it comes to protecting your driveway, timing matters. Don’t wait until cracks multiply—fix them now, and protect your pavement before Ohio’s next freeze.

Think of sealcoating like sunscreen for your driveway. It locks out moisture, oil, salt, and UV rays before they can do damage. A fresh coat every few years doesn’t just look good — it can extend your asphalt’s life by five to seven years and save you thousands compared to repaving.
