Crack sealing Hamilton

The purpose of crack sealants is to close individual cracks in pavement to prevent water and other non-compressible substances like weeds, dirt, rocks, and sand from getting inside. Crack sealant is typically used to treat early stage longitudinal, transverse, reflection, and block cracks.

Crack Sealing vs. Crack Filling in Asphalt Repair Services

In an asphalt driveway, cracks are the most frequent issue that arises. But if it is not addressed appropriately and promptly, the asphalt surface will continue to deteriorate.

Therefore, instead of overspending on a new driveway, why not simply mend these ugly cracks? Your asphalt pavement's integrity is preserved by timely repairs.

Furthermore, taking into account its cheap cost and success rate, Asphalt Crack Repair is the most economical method of repairing asphalt. Let's proceed to the next section and learn about the different types of asphalt cracks and how to fix them in order to resolve this problem. Asphalt Cracks: What Is It?

An asphalt driveway's or pavement's natural life cycle includes asphalt cracks. These tiny cracks are frequently the first indication that the asphalt surface is damaged. Even though asphalt is one of the most resilient materials for driveway paving, unavoidable circumstances can occasionally cause it to deteriorate. These variables frequently involve severe traffic congestion and erratic weather. Furthermore, the asphalt surface may crack due to oxidation. Depending on the situation, cracks may be caused by shifting weather patterns or traffic strain.

Different Asphalt Pavement Crack Types

Over the course of the asphalt pavement's existence, you may come across a variety of crack types. It's interesting that different cracks call for different fixes. To choose the best repair option, experts advise speaking with a professional asphalt crack repair business in Burlington. 1. Cracks in the edge These fissures appear on a pavement's periphery. Usually, they begin on the edges and work their way into the center. Because of this, fixing these gaps as quickly as possible is crucial because they seriously endanger cars. Seasonal thaw cycles might also enlarge these fissures.

2. Horizontal Fissures

Along the asphalt pavement's centerline, longitudinal cracks run parallel. These are typically caused by shrinking asphalt layers, temperature changes, and shoddy joint construction. 3. Crosswise Fissures

This pavement cracking is perpendicular to the pavement surface's centerline and occurs throughout the pavement. These are typically brought about by pavement shrinkage and are not load-related. 4. Cracks in the Block

These usually show up near the conclusion of the pavement's lifespan. These cracks typically span wide areas and have a rectangle or square appearance. Temperature variations-induced shrinkage of the asphalt is the main source of these fissures.

5. Cracks in Alligators

An arrangement of closely spaced, connected fissures on the asphalt surface is known as alligator cracking. The appearance of these alligator cracks in the asphalt pavement is really extensive. These have the potential to spread and result in larger damage regions if left untreated. The main factor contributing to the adequate deterioration of the asphalt layer to create alligator cracking is frequent traffic overload.

Which Is Better for Repairing Cracks in an Asphalt Driveway: Sealing or Filling?

For any kind of asphalt crack, there are two primary methods of repair: Sealing and filling cracks in asphalt

Continue reading to find out more about asphalt repairing techniques and which one is ideal for you. Asphalt Crack Sealing: What Is It? For little cracks that are still in the early stages of damage, this is the most effective technique. Because sealing asphalt cracks requires little upkeep and is long-lasting, driveway owners prefer it. Typically, a hot rubberized sealant is used in the asphalt crack sealing process to seal the cracks.

Furthermore, the best course of action for cracks that continually widen and narrow based on the season is to fix them. Rubberized crack sealer fills in the cracks while maintaining its flexibility to accommodate pavement movement. Preventing water and debris from entering the gaps is one of the primary benefits of sealing asphalt cracks. This keeps traffic from being obstructed and prolongs the life of the repairs. Rubberized asphalt, low-modulus rubberized asphalt, and self-levelling silicone are common materials used for sealing cracks in asphalt. Asphalt Crack Filling: What Is It? Cracks in pavement or driveways can be temporarily fixed with asphalt crack filling. Generally speaking, this method works well for fissures that don't constantly extend and contract.

Is your driveway or parking lot starting to show signs of wear? Are the cracks becoming more visible and numerous each day? If you’re like most people, you probably don’t have the money to hire a professional to do the job for you. But before you reach for the caulk gun and start filling in those cracks yourself, there are a few things you should know.

I feel like people have read into Alicent's response to Rhaenyra's ultimatum in both good AND bad faith ways, but i feel like I haven't seen much of what Rhaenyra was feeling about it!!

Personally, I feel like the ultimatum she gave Alicent was the product of 3 different motivations- first, it was the obvious political move to kill the usurper to her throne, duh. The second, is that I think Rhaenyra is super aware- and terrified of- being trapped in a cycle of loss, being passed over for a son, and her claim to the throne standing only because of what she represents not her as a person. Thats its own whole fascinating character essay i cant get into here lol.

But the third reason is that I THINK she has a desperate personal obsession with being chosen by Alicent over Aegon, and leans into the ultimatum as a way to extract what she needs from Alicent-- to be chosen and prioritized over her father's son, and be the centre of Alicent's attention (romantic or not).

The directors/writers have mentioned one of the crucial aspects of Rhaenyra and Alicent's relationship is how many times Rhaenyra reaches out, only to be rejected by Alicent over and over. I think Rhaenyra, as someone who really internalized going after what she wants from a young age, is a bit spoiled, and is obsessed with Alicent's continuous rejection as both a novelty, and a deep source of insecurity.

Rhaenyra has a bit of magical thinking where she really does think that if she just pushes hard enough she can change the world into the shape she wants it to be, and I think when Alicent CONTINUES to deny her, she gets more and more frustrated.

Double this with her general issues around being passed over for a son, first from her father with baelon, and then COMPOUNDED with baby aegon stealing both her father AND alicent's attention as alicent prioritized birthing and probably caring for her son over rhaenyra's sulking when Rhaenyra was in the most pain she had been in yet in her life.

I think Rhaenyra is HIGHLY resentful about not just aegon usurping her throne, but also the lack of attention during the HEIGHT of her teenage years, where she already has a contentious relationship with her father AND .....stepmother?? first love??? sister?? (targaryen family incest issues are a wonderful icing on top of this cake)

It was very clear that the reason Alicent married viserys was SPECIFICALLY to have more children, and that Alicent CHOSE (from Rhaenyra's perspective) to put herself in that position JUST after Aemma died from the same cause, becoming a mother rather than staying with Rhaenyra and daydreaming about riding off into the sunset. In Rhaenyra's mind, she lost her mother to the promise of a son, only to lose Her Alicent™️ to ANOTHER promise of a son right after. This is probably the deepest rejection Alicent could have given her.

The entire second half of season 2 is more denial; Rhaenyra's marriage proposal of their children is rejected, Alicent rejects Rhaenyra's bastard sons in general, and Rhaenyra's choices by extension, then driftmark happens, then the ENTIRE USURPTION happens, rejecting Rhaenyra's claim to her own birthright.

Rhaenyra even tries AGAIN in season 3 - extending herself to go into Alicent's place of comfort to sue for peace, even telling Alicent bits of a personally sacred religious doctrine only to be rejected AGAINNNNNNN.

(I could write forever about how Rhaenyra indulges Alicent's religious but never gets the same back on her own customs)

Yah, I think when Rhaenyra sees Alicent next, its not just that the ultimatum is a political necessity, but its decades of rejection culminating in 'you need to choose and prioritize me over everything, including your son, bc i cannot take anymore rejection from you, and I cant handle NOT being the most important thing in your whole world tbh :)' Especially on the heels of her newfound radicalization i feel like Rhaenyra sees Alicent's 'Choosing Rhaenyra' this time as a Holy Blessing and the last crucial piece she needs to self actualize.

(Also never forget all of this takes place in the targaryen CESSPOOL that is Rhaenyra having Alicent as a sister/step mother/half employee?? Alicent was at least her subordinate at one point/only confidante/possible first love-- theres probably alot of projection on Rhaenyra's part for what Alicent's approval means to her)

sorry this is so long the word rejection has ceased to mean anything to me at this point

"Rhaenyra sees Alicent's 'choosing Rhaenyra' this time as a Holy Blessing and the last crucial piece that she needs to self actualize"

what if we all just set each other on fire
