PAVEMENT CRACK REPAIR & HOT FILLING
Professional Repairs For All Budgets
CRACK REPAIR SERVICES
At No Limit Sealing, we understand that different surfaces require specific solutions to address unique challenges. Our comprehensive crack repair services cater to a wide range of pavement types, ensuring durability and functionality across various applications.
WHAT CAUSES ASPHALT CRACKS
- Natural aging: Asphalt naturally deteriorates over time due to oxidation, UV exposure, and general wear and tear.
- Freeze-thaw cycles: Canadian winters cause water to seep into cracks, freeze, expand, and widen the damage.
- Heavy traffic loads: Constant vehicle movement, especially from trucks and commercial vehicles, can weaken pavement over time.
- Poor drainage: Standing water accelerates asphalt degradation, leading to cracks and potholes.
- Tree roots and vegetation: Growing roots can push through pavement, creating uneven surfaces and cracks.

Water infiltration is responsible for 90% of asphalt failures, and unsealed cracks allow gallons of water to penetrate the surface every time it rains.
SIGNS YOU NEED ASPHALT CRACK REPAIR
Recognizing early warning signs of asphalt damage can save you thousands of dollars in future repairs. Cracks don’t just stay the same—they widen, deepen, and weaken the entire pavement structure over time. If you notice any of these key indicators, it’s time to schedule crack repair with No Limit Sealing before the damage worsens.
Cracks Wider Than ¼ Inch or Increasing in Size
A small crack may not seem like a big issue, but any crack wider than ¼ inch is already a sign of serious pavement stress. Cracks continue to expand as they absorb water and experience traffic pressure. If left untreated, they will quickly lead to larger fissures and potholes. Regular crack filling prevents this escalation and extends the lifespan of your pavement.
Multiple Interconnected Cracks Forming Alligator-Like Patterns
If your pavement is showing a web of cracks that resemble alligator skin, this is a major red flag. Known as alligator cracking, this pattern forms when the asphalt’s structural integrity is compromised, often due to heavy traffic loads or water damage. Alligator cracks indicate that the pavement base may be deteriorating. Hot crack filling can seal minor cases, but severe alligator cracking may require additional repairs.
Water Pooling in Cracks or Noticeable Surface Erosion
Water is asphalt’s biggest enemy. If water collects in cracks after rain or snowmelt, this means the pavement is no longer repelling moisture properly. Over time, water seeps into the base layers, weakening the asphalt and causing potholes. Surface erosion, such as small loose particles of asphalt around cracks, is another warning sign that the pavement is breaking down. Sealing cracks with hot rubberized filler helps prevent water damage and erosion, keeping the pavement strong.
Fading or Brittle Asphalt, Indicating Oxidation and Potential Cracking
If your pavement looks dull, grey, or faded instead of deep black, oxidation is occurring. Oxidation makes asphalt brittle, reducing its flexibility and increasing the likelihood of cracks. The sun’s UV rays cause oils in the asphalt to dry out, making the pavement more vulnerable to cracking under traffic stress. Filling cracks early and applying sealcoating as a preventative measure helps maintain the strength and flexibility of asphalt.

WHY HOT CRACK FILLING IS A MUST
Cracks in asphalt are not just cosmetic issues—they are the first step toward significant pavement damage. In the harsh Canadian climate, these cracks become even more problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycles that dominate much of the year. Without prompt repair, minor cracks expand and deepen, leading to potholes, weakened pavement, and costly repairs. No Limit Sealing’s hot crack filling service offers a reliable, efficient solution to protect your pavement from further damage.
Hot crack filler creates a flexible, watertight seal that blocks water from penetrating the asphalt. This is particularly important during heavy rainfalls or melting snow, which are common in Canada. Preventing water infiltration helps stop freeze-thaw damage and preserves the pavement’s base layers.
The rubberized filler bonds tightly to the asphalt, reinforcing the pavement and keeping it intact under the weight of vehicles and seasonal stresses. This reinforcement prevents small cracks from turning into larger, more expensive issues.
By addressing cracks early, you avoid the need for resurfacing or full replacement, which are significantly more expensive. In Canada, where harsh weather accelerates pavement deterioration, timely crack repair with hot crack filling can save thousands of dollars in future repairs.
Cracked and damaged pavement detracts from the curb appeal of your property. Hot crack filling restores a clean, professional appearance, enhancing the overall value of your driveway, parking lot, or roadway.
BENEFITS OF HOT RUBBERIZED CRACK FILLER
The material used in No Limit Sealing’s hot crack filling process is designed to deliver exceptional performance, even in the harshest conditions. Its advanced properties make it the ideal solution for long-term pavement protection and repair. Here’s why hot rubberized crack filler stands out:
Flexibility
Hot rubberized filler adapts to the natural expansion and contraction of asphalt caused by temperature fluctuations. This flexibility ensures the seal remains intact through Canada’s extreme weather conditions, from freezing winters to scorching summers.
Longevity
Unlike traditional repair methods, hot rubberized filler forms a strong, durable bond that stands up to heavy traffic and weather exposure. Its long-lasting nature reduces the need for frequent repairs, saving time and money in the long term.
Resistance
The filler resists water infiltration, oils, and chemicals that can degrade asphalt surfaces. By creating a barrier against these damaging elements, it helps maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your pavement over time.
COMMON MYTHS ABOUT ASPHALT CRACK REPAIR
At No Limit Sealing, we’ve heard all the misconceptions about asphalt crack repair, and unfortunately, believing these myths can lead to costly mistakes. Many property owners put off crack filling because they assume their pavement doesn’t need it, or they believe temporary solutions like sealcoating are enough. In reality, neglecting small cracks allows them to grow, causing major damage that requires expensive repairs. As experts in hot crack filling, we know exactly how to prevent asphalt deterioration and extend the life of your pavement.
→ Even new asphalt can develop cracks due to weather and traffic stress.
→ Hot rubberized filler blends in and smooths out over time.
→ Sealcoating protects the surface but doesn’t fix existing cracks.
→ Once a crack forms, it only gets worse without treatment.

THE BEST TIME OF YEAR FOR ASPHALT CRACK FILLING
Timing is everything when it comes to asphalt crack repair, and choosing the right season can make a big difference in the effectiveness and longevity of the filler. No Limit Sealing recommends scheduling hot crack filling when temperatures allow the material to bond properly with the pavement.
Spring & Fall:
Ideal temperatures (above 10°C) allow the filler to bond effectively.
HOW NO LIMIT SEALING ENSURES LONG-LASTING CRACK REPAIRS
At No Limit Sealing, we don’t just fill cracks—we provide high-quality, long-lasting solutions that protect your pavement for years to come. Our expert hot crack filling process is designed to withstand Canada’s extreme weather conditions, ensuring that your asphalt remains strong, smooth, and safe. Here’s what sets us apart when it comes to crack repair durability.
1. Top-Tier Rubberized Fillers Built for Canadian Weather
Not all crack fillers are created equal. No Limit Sealing uses premium rubberized fillers engineered to expand and contract with changing temperatures. This flexibility is essential in Canada, where freeze-thaw cycles cause asphalt to shift, making lesser-quality fillers crack and fail. Our high-performance material creates a watertight seal, preventing moisture from seeping in and causing further damage.
2. Precision Surface Preparation for Maximum Adhesion
Long-lasting repairs start with proper preparation. Before applying the crack filler, our team ensures the asphalt is thoroughly cleaned and dried. We remove all debris, dust, and moisture to ensure the filler bonds directly to the pavement, not to dirt or loose particles. This extra step enhances the effectiveness of the seal and prevents premature failure.
3. Expert Application Techniques for a Seamless Bond
Applying crack filler isn’t just about pouring material into a crack—it requires precision and experience. Our team follows industry-leading techniques to ensure a seamless, uniform application. We heat the filler to the perfect temperature for maximum adhesion, carefully applying it to penetrate deep into the crack. This guarantees a firm, flexible bond that won’t break down under traffic or weather stress.
4. Attention to Detail for Durability, Safety, and a Professional Finish
At No Limit Sealing, we take pride in every crack repair project. We pay close attention to detail to ensure the finished result is smooth, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. Properly filled cracks prevent trip hazards, enhance curb appeal, and extend the lifespan of your pavement. We never cut corners—our goal is to deliver a flawless finish that lasts.
