Your home is the one place that provides you and your family warmth, comfort, security, and protection from the outside elements. Faulty sealant can cause water leaks or air drafts to enter your home, creating discomfort and fluctuating temperatures within your home’s interior, and potentially leading to expensive damage.
Caulking is the flexible sealant material used to properly seal all holes, cracks, and gaps around the windows and doors of your home. If you suspect that you have a leak in your home or see that your existing sealant is compromised, it is always best to get it evaluated by a professional to restore optimal functionality as soon as possible.
Having air leakage in your home may not seem like a cause for concern, but during extreme hot or cold weather, the leakage may cause your entire house to be affected by poor quality ventilation and uncomfortable temperatures. Furthermore, when water enters through these cracks, you face the risk of water damage, mold build-up, or even damage to the overall structure of your home.
Caulking deterioration is completely normal under even the best circumstances, which is why it is essential to include re-caulking as part of your general property maintenance.
