Caulking & Joint Sealing

Caulking or joint sealing is practice used to seal gaps, joints, or seams between various materials or surfaces. It involves applying a flexible sealant material, to create a barrier that prevents the infiltration of air, water, dust, or other unwanted substances. Caulk is typically a paste-like substance that is dispensed from a caulking gun and applied along the joint or gap using a nozzle or putty knife.

Caulking is needed in a wide range of applications and locations. In buildings, it is commonly used around doors, windows, and other openings to seal gaps between the frames and the surrounding walls, preventing drafts and reducing energy loss. In exterior applications, caulking is necessary to seal joints and gaps in the structure, such as between siding panels, around vents, or along the edges of roofs, to keep out moisture, insects, and drafts. It is crucial in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, where it prevents water intrusion, mold growth, and damage to underlying structures. Caulking is also important in expansion joints, or control joints, which allow for natural movement or expansion of materials. These joints are commonly found in concrete slabs, sidewalks, driveways, or bridge decks. Properly applied caulking in these joints helps accommodate movement, reduce water penetration, and prevent cracks or further damage caused by environmental factors.
