Project overview

The Keller Williams office in Bettendorf had a parking lot that was structurally sound but showing its age: open cracks running across the pavement and a surface that had oxidized to grey. The crew hot-kettle crack-filled the lot and then sealcoated it.

Work continued into the evening to get the whole lot coated, and it reopened with a clean, uniform black finish.

Project details

Hot kettle crack filling uses a hot-applied rubberized sealant that flows into the crack and stays flexible as the pavement moves with temperature. It keeps water from entering the cracks, which is what prevents freeze-thaw damage from spreading underneath.

Once the cracks were sealed, the crew sprayed commercial-grade asphalt sealer across the lot and worked it in by squeegee along the edges. Sealcoating protects the asphalt against oxidation, sunlight and everyday wear while restoring a professional appearance.

What property owners should know

A parking lot is one of the most expensive surfaces a business owns, and one of the easiest to let quietly fail. Hot kettle crack filling, regular sealcoating and keeping water from standing on the surface are the three habits that protect the asphalt and the base underneath it.

Addressing cracks and surface deterioration early is what lets a business avoid expensive asphalt repairs or a complete replacement. A well-maintained lot also makes a better first impression on every customer who pulls in.
