Saint-Rémi is the most populous and dynamic municipality in the Jardins-de-Napierville Regional County Municipality (MRC), serving as the economic and administrative hub of the region. Located approximately 12 km to the north of our base in Sherrington, it is home to the majority of the commercial businesses, schools, public services, and industrial parks in southern Montérégie. Over the years, we have completed hundreds of crack sealing jobs here — from shopping centre parking lots and school boards of the Grandes-Seigneuries district, to agricultural warehouses in the Saint-Édouard area and residential driveways in the Notre-Dame and Saint-Paul street developments.
Why seal the cracks in your asphalt in Saint-Rémi?
Asphalt in Saint-Rémi faces the same climate challenges as the rest of Montérégie: a freeze-thaw cycle that spans 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 shatters the pavement structure. This is how potholes, depressions, and alligator cracking develop — eventually forcing a complete repaving at a cost 10 to 20 times higher than regular upkeep.
Saint-Rémi is a town where we see the greatest gap between well-maintained commercial parking lots and those that have been neglected for 10 or 15 years. For a property manager taking over a new mandate, the first step should be to order a full assessment of the asphalt surface before patching repairs become unavoidable.
Our 5-step crack sealing process
We exclusively use the hot-applied crack sealing method, compliant with MTQ 14501 standard, as 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 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 return to service. Sprinkling of anti-tack agent and return to traffic within 30 minutes.
