Gaps and cracks are your home’s worst enemy! Not only do they reduce energy efficiency by creating drafts, but they allow pests and moisture easy access. Moisture is one of the greatest causes of problems. If water gets under the paint, your paint job will peel, bubble, crack or chalk. Ugly mold or mildew may develop, causing health problems. The best way to prevent all these problems is by carefully sealing gaps and cracks with a high quality sealant. Elastomeric caulk is one of the best sealants; It is flexible, adheres to any surface, and lasts a long time.
It can also be cleaned up with water. Other good candidates are polyurethane sealants and standard siliconized caulking. Choosing the right caulking gun will make the application process much easier. In some places, it will be obvious where caulking is needed. It’s important to fully seal the entire home! A good rule of thumb is to apply a bead of caulk anywhere two dissimilar materials meet – brick and wood; wood and metal, etc. Caulk window trim at the top and sides. Leave the bottom unsealed. This will prevent dripping and windblown water from entering the building while allowing condensation to escape. Also leave the weep holes unsealed. Untrimmed windows require a bead of sealant around the entire window. Placing tape on the window, 1/8″ away from the gap will help assure a straight, professional-looking bead. As you become more experienced with the caulk gun, masking the window won’t be necessary. Clear elastomeric caulk is less visible than the white variety but provides the same benefits.
Don’t be alarmed if it goes on white! It will become transparent as it dries. Wood windows usually consist of more pieces. This produces more gaps. All will need sealing. Any place where two pieces of wood join together needs caulk. Here are the typical areas you need to check. All doors (entries, garage doors, and pet entries) need special attention. Problems are common where the door frame meets the threshold. A thin bead of caulk can prevent water damage here. Also caulk the areas where trim meets the door frame or siding. In garages with concrete floors, the frame can soak up moisture from the floor, causing peeling and dry rot. Prevent this by applying a small bead of clear caulk (it’s less obvious than white). Paneled entry and garage doors require a very good seal. All panels must be caulked after any sanding and priming has taken place. This includes any panels on wood and masonite garage doors. These areas are easy to overlook because they’re so high off the ground, but attention to detail now will pay off in the long run.
