The municipality of Saint-Édouard, our closest neighbour at just 5 km north of Sherrington, is a small agricultural village in the Jardins-de-Napierville Regional County Municipality (MRC). Its compact, predominantly residential and agricultural territory includes a few dozen driveways and a handful of commercial parking lots along rue Principale. This proximity makes Saint-Édouard one of the few municipalities where we can take on small jobs without additional travel fees — something that is rarely possible elsewhere in Montérégie.
Why seal the cracks in your asphalt in Saint-Édouard?
Asphalt in Saint-Édouard faces the same climate constraints as the rest of Montérégie: a freeze-thaw cycle spanning more than five months a year, intense summer sun that oxidizes the surface, and aggressive winter de-icing salt that attacks the cohesion of bituminous binders. Without maintenance, water that seeps into an untreated crack freezes, expands by about 9 %, and ruptures the pavement structure. That’s how potholes, depressions, and alligator cracking develop — ultimately forcing a full repaving at a cost 10 to 20 times higher than regular upkeep.
Residents of Saint-Édouard benefit from a unique advantage: we can group several residential crack sealing jobs into a single half-day within a few kilometres, which significantly reduces the individual cost. If several neighbours want to seal their driveways, one visit can take care of everything.
Our 5-step crack sealing process
We exclusively use the hot-applied crack sealing method, compliant with the 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 needed.
- High-pressure compressed air cleaning. Removal of all dust, sand, vegetation, and residual moisture from every 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. 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 return to service. Anti-tack agent applied, surface back in use within 30 minutes.
