Stop water at the crack.
Crack Filling in Fort Wayne, IN
Crack filling helps keep water from reaching the base beneath your asphalt. We use SealMaster crack filler on residential and commercial pavement in Fort Wayne, northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio.
Fill cracks before damage spreads
We fill suitable cracks in driveways, private roads, parking lots, drive-through lanes and access roads to help prevent water from weakening the base. Crack filling is preventative maintenance; badly broken or failed sections need patch repair instead.
What it addresses
Signs your pavement needs crack filling
- Water entering cracks and eroding the base below the asphalt
- Freeze-thaw cycles that widen cracks each winter
- Small cracks progressing toward potholes and larger failures
- Trip and appearance concerns on driveways and lots
Why it matters
Keeps water out
Sealing cracks helps prevent water infiltration — one of the main causes of further deterioration.
Slows progression
Timely filling helps keep minor cracks from becoming larger, more costly problems.
Prepares for sealcoat
Filled cracks give a sealcoat a sounder surface to protect.
Residential crack filling
Residential asphalt is especially vulnerable to cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, water and everyday use. We fill cracks in driveways, private roads and residential parking areas to help preserve curb appeal and the life of the surface.
Commercial crack filling
Commercial lots see heavier traffic and more complex layouts. We repair cracks in parking lots, drive-through lanes, access roads and industrial lots for businesses, schools, retail centers, apartment complexes and warehouses.

Straight answers
Crack Filling questions
- When is the best time to fill cracks?
- When the pavement is dry and temperatures allow proper adhesion. In Fort Wayne, spring through early fall is generally ideal, and DuraKote evaluates each property to choose the right time.
- What crack filler do you use?
- We use industry-leading SealMaster crack filler.
- Can every crack be filled?
- Crack filling is meant for suitable cracks. Areas that are broken up, sunken or potholed are better handled with asphalt patch repair, and we'll tell you which applies.
- Should cracks be filled before sealcoating?
- Yes. Filling cracks first keeps water out and gives the sealcoat a sounder surface to protect.
