Cracks in the Driveway

If you ignore them: The cracks will get bigger and will be harder to repair. If they're near the house, moisture may seep into your foundation.

Easy fix: Remove loose debris and spray the area with a hose. Apply a crack filler designed for asphalt and let it dry thoroughly.

Pro tip: If cracks are deep, fill them with sand, then use the filler for the last 1/4 inch, says David Gross, a handyman in Valparaiso, Indiana.
