Caulking & Sealing

Caulking & Sealing

Age and the elements can dry and crack seam-sealing caulk material, making it unsightly or even resulting in leaks.  Periodically inspect all seams and joints to check on the condition of the caulking compound.  These areas are found on the roof, around vents, where roof and sidewall panels meet, around the screw used to secure accessories such as roof ladders, along molding strips, and around windows and door frames.  If chunks of caulk are missing or badly deteriorated, replacement is advised.
