Paved Assets provides expert evaluations and targeted repair services designed to restore durability and prevent costly resurfacing down the road.

How to Fix Alligator Cracking

Alligator cracking, also known as fatigue cracking, is a widespread asphalt issue that resembles the scales of an alligator’s back. It usually results from a combination of traffic stress, aging asphalt, inadequate drainage, and sub-base deterioration. If ignored, these cracks allow water to penetrate the lower layers of the pavement, weakening the structure further and eventually leading to potholes, uneven surfaces, and complete pavement failure.

So, how to fix alligator cracking effectively? The repair method depends on the severity and depth of the damage. For minor cracking, Paved Assets may recommend a high-performance crack sealant or a surface-level patch. However, for more advanced cases, a thicker, flexible repair compound known as Gator Patch is used to cover and seal the cracked area.

For severely deteriorated pavement where the damage extends into the sub-base, full-depth patching may be required. This process involves removing the damaged asphalt and base layers, repairing the foundation, and applying new hot mix asphalt to restore strength and appearance.

Paved Assets follows a step-by-step process:

• Site evaluation and crack severity analysis
  
  

• Thorough surface cleaning and preparation
  
  

• Application of the appropriate material: crack filler, Gator Patch, or replacement
  
  

• Finishing and compaction for long-term performance
  
  

With each project, their experienced crew ensures the repair blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface and meets all industry standards.

How Do You Fix Alligator Cracking Paint?

While the term “alligator cracking” is often associated with asphalt, some may confuse it with alligator cracking in paint—a similar-looking issue caused by poor surface preparation or incompatible layers of paint. However, the two issues are quite different.

Paved Assets specializes in asphalt and pavement repair, not paint or coatings. That said, their team frequently educates customers who mistakenly refer to surface cracking in pavement as paint damage. True alligator cracking in asphalt refers to structural damage that requires material restoration, not cosmetic touch-ups.

If you’re dealing with damaged asphalt, Paved Assets provides real solutions that address the root of the problem—not just the surface appearance.

How Much Does Asphalt Crack Repair Cost?

Budget is a major concern for many property owners. So, how much does asphalt crack repair cost? The answer depends on the size of the area, the type of damage, and the repair method used.

Paved Assets offers transparent pricing and customized quotes. On average:

• Basic crack sealing ranges from $0.50 to $1.00 per linear foot
  
  

• Gator Patch application costs approximately $2 to $4 per square foot
  
  

• Full-depth patching services may range from $5 to $10 per square foot, including excavation, repair, and resurfacing
  
  

The company believes in a proactive approach, addressing small cracks before they expand. Timely repairs help prevent more expensive services like resurfacing or full reconstruction later on.

How Long Does a Gator Patch Take to Cure?

One of the most commonly used materials for alligator crack repair is Gator Patch, a heavy-duty, textured patch that provides a flexible, water-resistant seal over damaged areas. It’s ideal for medium to severe surface-level cracking and can be applied with squeegees or trowels.

How long does a Gator Patch take to cure? Cure time typically ranges from 2 to 4 hours under normal weather conditions, but it can take up to 24 hours to fully cure, depending on temperature, humidity, and sun exposure. Paved Assets always schedules work during ideal conditions to promote quick and proper curing and advises clients on when the surface will be ready for foot or vehicle traffic.

During curing, it’s essential to avoid pressure or water on the treated area. Paved Assets provides detailed care instructions to ensure the repair bonds properly and deliver the maximum expected lifespan.
