Seal the Cracks—Save Your Asphalt!
Cracks in asphalt spread fast—and when they do, repairs get expensive. More importantly, water seeps in, weakens the foundation, and leads to potholes. Unfortunately, Utah’s extreme weather makes the damage worse. That’s why acting early is key and crack seal is the solution.
