Fixing Small Cracks in Asphalt Driveways
Simple crack repair and maintenance can help prolong the life of your asphalt driveway
Before patching the crack, it is important for the area to be as clean as possible so that the patching material can adhere easily.
- Use a wire brush or a wire wheel on a drill to remove dirt and debris from the crack.
- Shop vac to ensure that all of the loose debris and smaller particles have been removed. If a shop vac is available to you, you can use a garden hose to flush out the crack. If you use a garden hose, you need to let the crack dry completely before continuing.
