Surface Treatment — Crack Sealing
Crack Sealing material and rate calculation.
Crack sealing is the highest-ROI maintenance in the book — a dollar of sealant deflects ten of base repair by keeping water out. The estimate's weak point is the survey: crack densities double in the second year of neglect, so last season's map under-orders this season's melter.
Formula
Note: Paving estimates only — the project mix design, agency specification and the plant's QC data govern. Temperature models are simplified; verify with an infrared gun and density gauge on the mat.

About Surface Treatment — Crack Sealing
Surface Treatment — Crack Sealing computes the governing relationship L = density × area; mass = L × kg/m live as you type. Crack sealing is the highest-ROI maintenance in the book — a dollar of sealant deflects ten of base repair by keeping water out. The estimate's weak point is the survey: crack densities double in the second year of neglect, so last season's map under-orders this season's melter. Defaults are pre-filled with realistic values for this exact scenario, and the worked example substitutes your numbers step by step so the math is never a black box.
How to use Surface Treatment — Crack Sealing
- 1Enter your values — Crack density, Pavement area, Sealant usage (sensible defaults are pre-filled).
- 2Read the live results: Crack length, Sealant required.
- 3Check the "with your numbers" line to see L = density × area; mass = L × kg/m substituted step by step.
- 4Adjust inputs until the scenario matches yours, then copy or share the result.
