Caulking Defects

Now that the weather is turning cold & wet, it is very important to evaluate and inspect your properties very carefully; looking for areas that water may sit and penetrate the exterior of the home.
Look carefully at horizontal joints, especially those above windows and doors where water may sit. Many windows have improperly sloped cap flashings often called drip caps. Water may sit on the top of this cap flashing above a window and, if there is any flawed joint, or if the details at either end of the flashing are poorly executed, leakage can occur.
Windowsills should have a good slope down away from the window and should project at least one inch beyond the siding. A good bead of caulk should be applied to new windows to prevent any moisture into the home.

HAPPY REHABBING!!!
