Caulking Professionals – Toronto & GTA An Insider's Guide On Caulking | Página 7

The Importance of External
Caulking
• Any caulk that is shrinking from its original size
• Visible cracks in the seams of caulk
• Any seams of caulk that don’t seem straight or appear to have
shifted
• Caulk that appears less sticky
• If any of the above problems are evident once you have completed
your exterior inspection, it is important that you take care of the
issue right away—before the adverse weather conditions are here! If
you wait too long, say after a severe rain or snow storm, water can
seep through these areas where the caulk is damaged. This can
damage your window sills or woodwork and cost you even more than
a few tubes of caulk would have.
