La Prairie is one of the oldest cities in Quebec, founded in 1667, and today serves as a major gateway to the South Shore of Montreal. Located approximately 30 km north of our base in Sherrington, this city in the Roussillon MRC has nearly 25,000 residents and a territory that blends historic heritage (Vieux-La Prairie), contemporary residential neighbourhoods, and vast commercial zones along Route 132 and Highway 15. We work here on residential driveways in historic districts as well as parking lots at large commercial centres and industrial parks.
Why seal the cracks in your asphalt in La Prairie ?
Asphalt in La Prairie faces the same climate stresses as the rest of Montérégie : 60 to 90 freeze-thaw cycles per year, heavy winter de-icing salt on main roads, and summer sun exposure that oxidizes the bituminous binder. Every untreated crack lets water in — water that freezes, expands by roughly 9 %, and breaks apart the pavement structure. After 2 or 3 neglected winters, a simple crack becomes a pothole, and what would have cost a few dollars to seal can now require several hundred dollars in patching.
The historic core of Vieux-La Prairie, with its heritage buildings, imposes particular constraints for parking lot maintenance : respecting the aesthetic of the surroundings, coordinating with the summer tourist calendar, and paying special attention to stone curbs. Our hot-applied crack sealing techniques are perfectly suited to these sensitive environments.
Our 5-step process
We exclusively use hot-applied polymer-modified bitumen crack sealing in compliance with the MTQ 14501 standard, using Crafco 522 sealant approved by the Quebec Ministry of Transportation.
- Inspection and mapping of all cracks.
- High-pressure compressed air cleaning.
- Heating the crack edges with a propane torch.
- Application of sealant heated to 190 °C.
- Finishing and return to service within 30 minutes.
