Where can I buy hot rubber crack sealant locally in Ottawa?

Hot rubber crack sealant (hot-pour crack filler) is available at several Ottawa locations, but you'll also need specialized equipment to heat and apply it properly.

For the sealant itself, Home Depot and Lowe's locations across Ottawa carry hot-pour crack sealers from brands like Sakrete, Quikrete, and Henry. You'll find these products in 30-pound boxes or bags in the asphalt/driveway section. Rona and Canadian Tire also stock seasonal crack filling products, though selection varies by location. Kent Building Supplies on Merivale Road typically has a good selection of professional-grade sealants.

For professional-grade products and better selection, check Acklands-Grainger (multiple Ottawa locations) or Uline Canada (Nepean location). These suppliers carry higher-quality hot-pour sealants designed for Ottawa's extreme freeze-thaw conditions, including rubberized formulations that remain flexible at -30°C. Paving supply companies like Miller Group or Tomlinson may sell to homeowners for larger quantities, though they primarily serve contractors.

The equipment challenge is significant — hot-pour crack sealant must be heated to 180-200°C and applied with a melter and pour pot. Professional crack filling equipment costs $2,000-$5,000 and isn't practical for most homeowners. Some tool rental shops rent crack filling equipment, but availability is limited in Ottawa.

For most Ottawa homeowners, cold-pour crack filler is more practical — it comes ready to use in squeeze bottles or cartridges and doesn't require heating equipment. While not as durable as hot-pour in Ottawa's climate, quality cold-pour products like Latex-ite Pli-Stix or Henry Tropicool provide 2-3 seasons of protection when applied properly.

Consider the scope of your project — if you have extensive cracking (more than 50 linear feet), hiring a professional with proper hot-pour equipment often costs less than buying equipment and materials separately. Professional crack filling typically runs $2-$5 per linear foot in Ottawa and provides superior long-term results in our harsh freeze-thaw climate.
