Asphalt Crack Sealing & Repair in Manteca, CA
Preventative Maintenance Saves You Money
This can't be stressed enough! When cracks start to appear in your parking lot, they need to be sealed quickly. Think of your parking lot like your teeth. When you start to get a small cavity, you will want to get it filled as soon as possible. Otherwise, you're facing an expensive root canal or worse.
Asphalt is similar in that cracks lead to larger and more costly repairs. The good news is that crack sealing is an inexpensive repair that can be performed year-round. It works simply by keeping water out of the area between your asphalt and the underlying dirt.
By sealing cracks early on, you are effectively extending the lifespan of the pavement by preventing additional water erosion that seeps into the asphalt. Crack sealing can also reduce the chance of trip hazards and other liability issues happening. Lastly, crack sealing helps property managers and owners buy time between the more costly repairs that are needed.

Understating the Cause of Your Cracks
There are several reasons why your asphalt may crack, but the primary suspects are the sun and water. The sun's ultraviolet rays are always beating down on your pavement, drying it out and causing it to become more brittle. The water that comes from weather or irrigation runoff seeps into those newly formed cracks and starts the erosion process that eventually becomes the pothole. Cracks can also originate from other sources. Earth movement, heavy traffic loads, or poor construction design and repairs. The main types of cracks found in parking lots include fatigue cracks, reflective cracks, and block cracks.
Why Asphalt Maintenance Is Essential
Asphalt surfaces are constantly exposed to traffic, sun, rain, oil, and chemicals. Over time, these factors cause cracks, potholes, fading, and surface deterioration. Without regular maintenance, these minor issues can lead to major structural damage, costly replacements, and safety hazards.
With routine repair and preventative maintenance, you can:
- Extend the life of your pavement by 10–15 years
- Improve safety for vehicles and pedestrians
- Enhance the curb appeal and professionalism of your property
- Reduce long-term repair and liability costs
- Protect your investment with minimal disruption

Our Crack Sealing Application Process
Central Valley Sealcoating & Asphalt's crack sealing process is identical to the one used by most local, municipal, state, and government repair agencies, such as Caltrans. The crack sealing process used on highways, freeways, roadways, and parking lots is the same one we use on your parking lot. This process has been repeatedly tested and proven effective. Its performance is reliable and outstanding even in the most demanding of conditions.
Hot-pour sealants should be used on driveways with numerous cracks, as well as on high-traffic roadways and commercial parking lots. Hot-applied sealants are the best choice for quality, long-lasting repairs.
Parking lots, driveways, and roadways sealed with a hot-applied rubberized crack sealant can be reopened to traffic as soon as the material cools. Depending on outside temperatures, this can be as fast as 15 to 20 minutes after sealing the cracks.
The more time the crack seal material is given to dry, the better the odds that lifting will not occur. We recommend 48 hours of dry time but we understand that this is not always realistic for a parking lot in San Joaquin County, Pleasanton, Livermore, Vacaville, Vallejo, Fairfield, Chowchilla, Patterson, Valley Springs, Redwood City, and Sonora, California..
