The process begins with a thorough cleaning of the crack to remove dirt, debris, and any vegetation that has taken root. For deeper cracks, a backer rod is often inserted to create a stable base, ensuring the filler material bonds properly and does not sink over time. A specialized hot-applied rubberized sealant or cold-applied filler is then applied using a pour pot or squeeze bottle, depending on the crack width. The material is leveled with a squeegee or putty knife to sit slightly below the surrounding surface, preventing tripping hazards and allowing for expansion and contraction during Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles. For Des Moines properties, crack filling is not merely cosmetic. The city’s climate, with its heavy snowfall in winter and humid summers, accelerates the deterioration of unsealed cracks. Water seeps into these openings, freezes, and expands, widening the crack and potentially causing spalling or potholes. By filling cracks promptly, property owners prevent moisture intrusion that can undermine the base layer of asphalt or concrete. This is especially critical for driveways and parking lots that see regular vehicle traffic, as even small cracks can quickly become larger repair issues. The work requires attention to detail: cracks must be dry and above 50 degrees Fahrenheit during application, which often means scheduling this service in late spring or early fall in Des Moines. ## Areas We Cover in Des Moines We provide crack filling services throughout Des Moines, including established neighborhoods such as Accent, Arbor Peaks, Avon, Avon Lake, Beaverdale, and Brook Run. Our service area also extends to properties near local landmarks like 2AU Limited, 2nd Amendment Gun Shop, 300 Craft & Rooftop, and 801 Chophouse. Whether your property is in a residential subdivision or a commercial zone near these downtown spots, we can schedule an on-site evaluation to determine the appropriate crack filling approach for your specific surfaces. ## What to Expect When you schedule crack filling with us, here is what the process typically involves: - A technician inspects the cracks to assess width, depth, and the condition of the surrounding surface. - Cracks are cleaned using a wire brush, air compressor, or weed torch to remove debris and vegetation. - For larger cracks, backer rod is installed to prevent the filler from sinking. - The appropriate filler is applied and smoothed to match the surrounding surface level. - The area is marked with cones or tape until the filler cures, which usually takes 24 to 48 hours depending on weather conditions. - A follow-up inspection ensures the filler has set properly and no additional cracks have formed. Crack filling is a straightforward but effective way to extend the life of your paved surfaces and avoid more costly repairs down the road.
