Caulk Joliet IL
Among the more essential elements for the structure of your kitchen or bathroom, caulk prevents moisture from going where it should not. Often, however, the importance of caulk is overlooked. Here are some of the ways to identify when the time comes to replace Caulk Joliet IL:
-Cracks, peeling, pieces missing. A common symptom of worn out caulk is when it starts to crack and peeling away from sinks, tubs and walls. This is a certain way of knowing it needs replacement. Cracking and peeling permits moisture to become trapped under the caulk and potentially lead to water and mold damage. This also can be a sign the existing caulk is not the right type. For kitchens or bathrooms, it’s vital to use a watertight variety.
-When you spot areas of mildew and mold. There’s no doubt that mold growth can cause all kinds of problems: it can trigger allergy flare ups, cause structural damage and simply looks dirty and unappealing. Unfortunately, spaces like kitchens and bathrooms provide ideal environments where mold can grow and spread. If you observe mold and mildew forming in your bathrooms, you might want to look closely at the Caulk Joliet IL.
A big part of its job is to keep mold from getting in the gaps between the shower, sink and tub and the floors and walls. Even when it looks like the wall and tub have a tight fit, moisture can still make its way between the surfaces if the caulk is not providing sufficient protection.
-It’s been several years since you replaced the Caulk Joliet IL. We typically advise our customers to schedule replacement of the caulk in their bathrooms at least every five years. By maintaining the caulk regularly, you’ll prevent damages that may result from cracking, peeling or mold.
