Frequently asked questions
Answers for councils, contractors, and commercial property managers.
What is asphalt crack sealing?
Asphalt crack sealing is a preventative maintenance process that cleans and fills pavement cracks with hot rubber sealant to stop water entering the pavement structure.
Why is crack sealing better than waiting for resurfacing?
Early sealing is far less expensive than reconstructing failed asphalt. It slows deterioration and can delay full resurfacing by years.
Where does Pro Crack Seal operate?
We operate throughout Western Australia — metro Perth and regional centres including Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Albany, Esperance, Karratha, Port Hedland, and Broome.
How soon can traffic return after sealing?
In many cases, sealed areas can return to traffic quickly once the sealant has set. Exact timing depends on ambient conditions and the product used.
Do you work with local councils?
Yes. Local government and road authorities are core clients. We support programmed maintenance and targeted reactive sealing.
Can you seal airport surfaces?
Yes. We have experience with aviation-related surfaces and work within the operational constraints required for airport environments.
What causes asphalt cracks?
Thermal cycling, traffic loading, oxidation, and pavement ageing commonly cause cracking. Without sealing, water accelerates structural damage.
Is crack sealing suitable for car parks?
Absolutely. Car parks benefit from neat, durable sealing that improves appearance and protects the pavement base with limited downtime.
What equipment do you use?
Our crews use specialised melters, compressors, heat lances, applicators, and support trucks configured for professional crack sealing.
How do I request a quote?
Use the contact form for a free site inspection request, or call 0435 503 464. Include location, pavement type, and approximate crack extent if known.
Do you handle traffic management?
Traffic management is coordinated for each site. Requirements depend on road classification, location, and client specifications.
What is the difference between filling and sealing?
Filling may temporarily occupy a crack, while professional hot rubber sealing focuses on adhesion, flexibility, and long-term water exclusion.
Can sealing help with reflective cracking?
Sealing can reduce water damage associated with reflective cracking, though underlying structural issues may still require broader pavement strategies.
Do you work overnight?
Yes, night works can be arranged for high-traffic roads, commercial centres, and airports where daytime closures are impractical.
What areas of Perth do you cover?
We cover greater Perth including Fremantle, Joondalup, Rockingham, Mandurah, and surrounding suburbs, plus statewide regional areas.
Is crack sealing environmentally responsible?
By extending pavement life, sealing reduces material demand from full reconstruction and lowers the frequency of major civil works.
How do I know if my asphalt needs sealing?
Visible open cracks, water ponding in cracks, or accelerating crack growth are common indicators. A site inspection provides clarity.
Do you seal cycle paths and shared paths?
Yes. Paths and pavements form part of our preventative maintenance offering alongside roads and car parks.
What information helps a quote?
Site address, pavement type, photos of cracks, approximate length, and access constraints help us prepare an accurate response.
Are you a niche crack sealing specialist?
Yes. Unlike full-service asphalt companies, Pro Crack Seal focuses on the niche of preventative crack sealing to extend pavement life.
