The city of Mercier, a direct neighbour of Châteauguay in the Roussillon MRC, is located approximately 25 km northwest of our base in Sherrington. It is a predominantly residential and agricultural municipality with around 14,000 residents, featuring a compact centre around rue Saint-Jean-Baptiste and a surrounding rural area home to numerous farms and horticultural operations. Residential driveways in Mercier — often long due to the layout of converted agricultural lots — regularly require crack sealing due to their prolonged exposure to freeze-thaw cycles.
Why seal the cracks in your asphalt in Mercier?
Asphalt in Mercier faces the same climate stresses as the rest of Montérégie: 60 to 90 freeze-thaw cycles per year, heavy winter salting on main roads, and summer sun that oxidizes the bituminous binder. Every untreated crack lets 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 of patching.
Mercier has an unusually high number of long residential driveways ranging from 150 to 300 linear ft, a legacy of the agricultural lot system. For these driveways, a full crack sealing treatment runs approximately $350 to $600 — well below the cost of partial repaving if the damage is left unchecked.
