The Most Cost-Effective Pavement Investment You’ll Make in Northern Utah
Dollar for dollar, crack filling is the single highest-return service we provide. A few hundred dollars of crack treatment today prevents the thousands of dollars in patches, repairs, and base replacement that water infiltration causes when cracks are ignored. For property owners across the Ogden, UT area, crack filling is the difference between getting 20+ years of life out of a parking lot and watching it fail in 12. Blacktop Paving LLC has built much of our reputation on showing property managers in Logan, Layton, Brigham City, and surrounding communities exactly how much money disciplined crack treatment saves over the lifecycle of their pavement.
Owner Brian Blackner has spent more than 15 years in the asphalt trade, and a meaningful portion of his work has been undoing damage that traces back to cracks left untreated. Water gets through the crack, saturates the base, freezes through the winter, and what was a $2 fill-up turns into $2,000 of patching. We’d rather seal cracks today than tear out a ruined parking lot section three winters from now.
Common Cracking Problems We Treat
- Linear Cracks — Single cracks running across the pavement, usually from temperature cycling or aging
- Transverse Cracks — Cracks running perpendicular to the direction of traffic
- Longitudinal Cracks — Cracks running parallel to the direction of traffic, often along construction joints
- Block Cracking — Connected rectangular crack patterns from asphalt aging and shrinkage
- Edge Cracks — Cracks forming along pavement edges where lateral support is weakest
- Reflective Cracks — Cracks that telegraph through from underlying joints or layers
Our Crack Filling Solution
- Crack Assessment — Not every crack needs filling; we identify which cracks are worth treating and which need different repair
- Crack Cleaning — We clean cracks of dirt, debris, vegetation, and old failed sealant using compressed air and wire brushes
- Hot-Pour Crack Filler — Quality hot-pour rubberized crack filler is heated to manufacturer-specified temperature
- Application — Filler is applied to clean, dry cracks with proper depth and a smooth surface finish
- Set and Cool — The treated cracks set up within hours, ready for traffic the same day
What Makes Our Crack Filling Last
- Proper Crack Cleaning — Filler that’s installed in dirty cracks doesn’t bond and fails fast; we don’t shortcut the cleaning step
- Dry Conditions — Hot-pour filler doesn’t bond to wet cracks, so we schedule work during dry conditions
- Quality Filler Material — We use commercial-grade hot-pour rubberized crack filler, not consumer-grade products
- Right Temperature Application — Filler installed at proper temperature flows into the crack correctly and bonds to the walls
- Honest Recommendations on What to Treat — Cracks too wide for filling are flagged for sealing or patching instead

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should cracks be filled?
Most commercial properties benefit from a crack-filling pass every 1-3 years depending on pavement age, traffic, and freeze-thaw exposure. Properties in Northern Utah’s climate often need annual or biennial treatment because of how aggressively the freeze-thaw cycle works on cracks.
What's the difference between crack filling and crack sealing?
Crack filling is for non-working cracks (those that don’t move significantly with temperature changes). Crack sealing is for working cracks that flex and reopen seasonally — sealing uses a more elastic, premium material designed to stretch with the crack.
