How to Identify Worn Caulking: A Guide for Property Managers

entreprisesjsdr

As a property manager, maintaining your buildings in good condition is essential to prevent costly issues like water infiltration. The state of your building’s caulking plays a crucial role in this equation. Here are some practical tips to help you identify worn caulking and act before the damage worsens.


Signs of Worn Caulking

1. Visible Cracks or Splitting - Caulking with cracks or splitting is no longer sealing effectively. Regularly inspect the edges of windows, doors, and expansion joints to spot these defects.

2. Peeling or Crumbling - Caulking that peels away from surfaces or crumbles has lost its adhesion. This can leave gaps where water and air can infiltrate.

3. Discoloration or Porous Texture - A dull appearance, porous texture, or uneven wear indicates that the caulking has reached the end of its lifespan.

4. Water Infiltration Issues - Signs of mold, water stains, or damage to interior or exterior walls are often evidence that the caulking is no longer watertight.


Why Act Quickly?

Worn caulking can lead to water infiltration, damaging your building’s structures and promoting mold growth. It can also drive up energy costs by allowing hot or cold air to escape.
