✦ Asphalt Mastic Repair
Repair Wide Cracks and Larger Pavement Defects With Asphalt Mastic
PaveTech Solutions provides asphalt mastic repair for wide cracks, deteriorated joints, depressions, and other localized pavement defects throughout Wisconsin. We evaluate the size, depth, movement, surrounding pavement, and underlying condition before determining whether mastic repair is appropriate.
Why Mastic Works for Larger Pavement Defects
Some pavement defects are too large for conventional crack sealing but do not require removing and replacing an entire section of asphalt. Asphalt mastic is a hot-applied, aggregate-filled repair material used for suitable wide cracks, deteriorated joints, and localized pavement defects.
✦ Asphalt Mastic Repair Applications
A Specialized Repair for Larger Pavement Defects
Mastic repair is used where pavement defects are too large for conventional crack sealing but remain suitable for a localized repair.
Wide Cracks & Failed Repairs
We repair suitable wide cracks and previously treated cracks or joints that have widened or deteriorated beyond conventional crack sealing.
Joints & Linear Defects
Mastic can be used for suitable deteriorated joints and longer, wider pavement defects that require a more substantial repair material.
Surface Defects & Depressions
We repair selected surface failures, voids, shallow depressions, and irregular pavement defects where mastic is appropriate.
✦ When Mastic Repair Makes Sense
Signs Your Pavement May Need Mastic Repair
Asphalt mastic repair may be appropriate when pavement defects are larger than typical crack-sealing applications but remain localized.
Wide pavement cracks
Deteriorated pavement joints
Cracks too large for conventional crack sealing
Localized surface voids
Failed previous crack repairs
Linear pavement deterioration
Larger localized surface defects
✦ Our Process
How We Prepare and Place Asphalt Mastic
Evaluate
We review the size, depth, location, movement, and surrounding pavement condition to determine whether mastic repair is appropriate.
Prepare
We clean and prepare the repair area so loose material, debris, and other conditions do not interfere with placement.
Apply
Our team places the heated asphalt mastic into the prepared repair area using professional application equipment.
Finish
We level and finish the repair and allow the material to cool before reopening the area to traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is asphalt mastic repair?
Asphalt mastic repair uses a hot-applied mixture of modified asphalt binder and aggregate to repair suitable wide cracks and localized pavement defects.
How is mastic repair different from crack sealing?
Crack sealing is generally used for narrower pavement cracks. Mastic is designed for larger cracks and defects that need a stronger, aggregate-containing repair material.
What types of pavement damage can mastic repair address?
Mastic may be used for wide cracks, deteriorated joints, localized surface defects, shallow depressions, failed crack repairs, and other suitable pavement distresses.
Can asphalt mastic repair potholes?
Some mastic products can be used for certain larger pavement defects, including pothole-type repairs, but suitability depends on the depth, size, and underlying pavement condition.
Can mastic repair fix base failure?
No. Significant base failure or deep structural deterioration generally requires a deeper repair method such as patching or full-depth reconstruction.
Does asphalt mastic need to be compacted?
Many hot-applied mastic products are placed and leveled rather than compacted like conventional hot-mix asphalt. The exact installation method depends on the material being used.
When can traffic return to a mastic repair?
Reopening time depends on material type, repair size, weather, and cooling conditions. Some hot-applied mastic systems can reopen once the material has cooled sufficiently.

Could Asphalt Mastic Fit the Damage?
Tell us where the crack or pavement defect is located, how large it is, and what you are seeing. We’ll help determine whether mastic repair, crack sealing, patching, or another repair method fits the condition.
