Answer: In the asphalt industry, alligator cracking refers to a surface damaged in such a way that the cracks form a pattern that looks like reptile scales, most notably those on an alligator or crocodile’s back. The pattern usually begins with longitudinal cracks, which are then connected by transverse cracks. These create geometric shapes that are normally interconnected and which can spread over a wide area in a relatively brief period. Alligator cracking is one of the most serious issues that can affect an asphalt surface in Austin. It is one of the most costly problems to repair — but it is also preventable in most cases. Assuming that the initial installation was corrected performed, alligator cracking is almost always the result of neglecting to make needed repairs and protect the surface with a sealant.
