Driveway Crack Sealing in Ann Arbor, MI
Driveway crack sealing is the targeted process of cleaning out existing cracks and filling them with a flexible sealant that keeps water from getting into the slab and the base material below. It is not a cosmetic fix — an unsealed crack in Michigan is an open channel for snowmelt and road salt to reach the subbase all winter. Catching cracks while they are still narrow is the best way to extend driveway life without major expense. Wide or structural cracks need different treatment, and we will tell you which category yours falls into.

When to Call
When You Need Driveway Crack Sealing
- Hairline cracks appeared after last winter and you want to stop them from widening
- A network of small cracks has formed in a panel but the slab is still solid underfoot
- You had repairs done previously and new cracks have opened at the edges of those patches
- Cracks are visible near the garage door threshold where water pools in heavy rain
How It Works
Our Process for Driveway Crack Sealing
- 1
Crack Routing and Cleaning
We open each crack to a consistent width and clean out debris, old filler, and vegetation so the sealant bonds to bare concrete, not dirt.
- 2
Sealant Selection
Not every crack gets the same product. We match sealant flexibility and viscosity to the crack width and the location on the slab.
- 3
Controlled Application
Sealant is applied in passes to avoid overfilling, which would cause it to dome and peel. Flush fill is the target, not a raised bead.
- 4
Cure Inspection
We check adhesion before leaving and flag any area where bond looks questionable so it can be addressed before it fails in winter.
Ann Arbor Context
Why this matters in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor driveways go through more freeze-thaw cycles per winter than most Midwest cities further south, and each cycle works a crack wider. Getting cracks sealed before November is the most practical thing a homeowner can do to stretch the life of an aging driveway.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Scope is simply the linear footage of cracks and whether any require routing to be properly prepared. Cracks wider than about three-quarters of an inch or cracks that move when you step near them may need more than sealing.
