The historic county seat of the Jardins-de-Napierville Regional County Municipality (MRC), founded in 1823, Napierville is one of the densest municipalities in our service area. Its village core, organized around rue Saint-Jacques and the Saint-Cyprien church, is home to residential and commercial buildings dating back to the 19th century, nearly all with aging asphalt parking lots. Just 6 km to the north of our Sherrington base, Napierville is the first municipality we serve on a daily basis. We work on residential driveways in the town centre as well as parking lots at the Larin industrial park and businesses along Route 219.
Why seal the cracks in your asphalt in Napierville?
The asphalt in Napierville faces the same climate stresses as the rest of Montérégie: a freeze-thaw cycle that stretches over more than five months a year, intense summer sun that oxidizes the surface, and aggressive winter de-icing salt that attacks the cohesion of the bituminous binders. Without maintenance, water that seeps into an untreated crack freezes, expands by approximately 9 %, and blows apart the pavement structure. This is how potholes, depressions, and alligator cracking develop — eventually forcing a full repaving at a cost 10 to 20 times higher than regular maintenance.
Napierville’s town centre is particularly affected by freeze-thaw cycles due to the clay nature of the soil, which retains moisture around asphalt curbs and worsens longitudinal cracks in commercial parking lots. This is why we recommend preventive crack sealing every two years to Napierville property managers.
Our 5-step crack sealing process
We exclusively use the hot-applied crack sealing method, compliant with MTQ 14501 standard, used on the provincial road network. Here is how we proceed on every job:
- Inspection and mapping. Identification of all cracks wider than 3 mm, measurement of total length, and determination of whether prior patching is required.
- High-pressure compressed air cleaning. Removal of all dust, sand, vegetation, and residual moisture present in each crack.
- Crack heating with a propane torch. Evaporation of residual moisture and warming of the substrate to ensure mechanical adhesion of the sealant.
- Hot-applied polymer-modified bitumen sealant application. Product heated to approximately 190 °C in a double-boiler melter, applied under controlled pressure to penetrate to the bottom of the crack.
- Finishing and reopening to traffic. Sprinkling of anti-stick agent and return to service within 30 minutes.
