The Importance of Window
Caulking
• Caulking is the most effective way a homeowner can reduce the
amount of air, water, and moisture that leaks inside their home.
Buildings built in the last twenty years are much more susceptible to
leakage than in the past. By reducing these leaks, you will not only
save on the construction of the building, but also protect it from the
damage the leaks can cause. Caulking your home can also improve
the quality of the air within the home and improve the function of
the HVAC unit.
• An older building or home naturally loses its ability to retain heat in
the winter and keep the heat out in the summer. Sometimes, this is
due to the building not being tight enough. In other instances, cracks
develop in the walls as it ages; the original caulking seal may be
pulling apart, causing these cracks to widen.
