Why Timely Crack Repair Matters for Commercial Properties
Daily traffic and everyday wear can cause small cracks in your pavement over time. Timely crack repair from Pro-Pave Inc. helps prevent long-term damage to your roads, parking lots, and foundations.
Adding crack sealing to your yearly maintenance plan protects pavement, improves appearance, and extends the life of your surfaces. From small surface splits to foundation issues, our professional asphalt crack repair services save you time and money, helping you avoid the need for premature replacement.
Common Causes of Cracks in Asphalt and Concrete Surfaces
Cracks in asphalt and concrete often start small but can quickly spread without prompt crack repair. In Virginia and D.C., constant weather changes and heavy use make paved surfaces especially vulnerable.
The most common causes include:
- Freeze-thaw cycles and moisture infiltration beneath the pavement.
- Soil settlement and poor compaction during installation.
- Heavy traffic loads and frequent vehicle use.
- Aging materials and a lack of regular crack sealing.
- Poor installation or drainage that allows water to accumulate under the surface.

Types of Asphalt Cracks We Fix
At Pro-Pave Inc., we handle several types of asphalt crack repair using proven methods to extend the life of your pavement. Our team carefully inspects each site to determine the most suitable repair approach.
- Edge, block, and reflective cracks from surface stress or temperature changes.

Foundation Crack Repair for Structural Stability
Foundation cracks are a serious type of pavement damage. They can lead to severe structural damage and lower property value. Our foundation crack repair service stabilizes the pavement base to keep your property safe and prevent more serious issues.
Causes of Foundation Cracks
Foundation cracks are commonly caused by:
- Hydrostatic pressure and soil movement that push against foundation walls.
- Poor drainage or waterproofing that leads to water infiltration.
- Structural settlement and temperature fluctuations that cause the foundation to shift over time.
Our Foundation Crack Repair Process
Our proven foundation crack repair process provides a lasting fix for your pavement foundation.
- Detailed inspection of the affected area to identify the source and extent of cracking.
- Crack cleaning and injection of structural epoxy or polyurethane for strength and water resistance.
- Reinforcement or sealing as needed to stabilize compromised sections.
- Waterproofing the surrounding area to prevent future intrusion or pressure buildup.
Why Timely Foundation Repair Matters
Delaying foundation repairs can cause expensive structural damage and safety risks. Fixing cracks early helps protect your property’s stability and value and prevents premature replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fix cracks myself with store-bought crack filler?
DIY crack filler can provide a short-term fix at best. Professional repairs use higher-quality products and proper techniques for long-lasting results.
How long does crack repair or patching take?
Most repairs are completed within a single day, depending on weather conditions and project size. Larger projects may require additional time for curing before the area can sustain traffic again.
How do I know if I need foundation crack repair?
If you see wall cracks, uneven floors, or water leaking into your basement, you may need foundation repair. If you notice any of these signs, reach out for professional crack repair right away.
How often should I reseal my pavement?
You should seal your pavement every 2–3 years to protect it from water, sun, and traffic damage. An annual inspection helps catch small cracks before they spread.
