What Is Crack Filling?
Crack filling is one of the most effective and affordable ways to protect your asphalt surfaces from long-term damage. At Bowman Line Striping Inc, we offer professional crack filling for parking lots, driveways, and commercial surfaces throughout Ridgecrest and surrounding areas.
Unsealed cracks allow water to seep into your asphalt base, leading to potholes, surface degradation, and expensive repairs. Our crack sealing process prevents this by sealing the cracks with hot rubberized material that expands and contracts with temperature changes—keeping your asphalt intact and durable year-round.
🟨 Why Crack Filling Matters
Left untreated, small cracks in asphalt can quickly evolve into serious structural issues. Proper crack filling:
- Prevents water intrusion and base erosion
- Extends the life of your pavement by 5–10 years
- Prepares your surface for seal coating or restriping
- Improves safety and appearance
This preventative maintenance is especially important in Ridgecrest’s desert climate, where temperature swings accelerate asphalt deterioration. Commercial properties near China Lake Blvd, Kerr McGee Center, and Inyokern Road are all vulnerable without proper protection.
🟪 Our Crack Filling Process
At Bowman Line Striping Inc, our 4-step process ensures high-performance results:
1. Thorough Cleaning
We begin by removing debris, vegetation, and moisture from the cracks using wire brushes and compressed air.
2. Crack Evaluation
We assess the width and depth of each crack. Crack filling is ideal for non-working cracks (less than ¼ inch of movement per year).
3. Hot Rubber Application
We use commercial-grade hot rubberized crack filler, applied at 350°F for optimal flow and bonding.
4. Finishing & Cure
The filler is allowed to cool and harden, forming a flexible seal that adapts to seasonal movement.
🔍 Bonus: Crack filling can be paired with seal coating and line striping for a fully restored and professional-looking parking lot.
