Why is our San Diego recaulking service important for your home or business?
Caulk is your tub and shower’s first line of defense.
While caulk should look aesthetically pleasing, it is applied in the first place for your home’s protection. Proper caulking is essential to preventing water seepage behind or around your wet areas. Tubs, sinks, showers – they all require properly-applied caulk for a watertight seal. Once caulk begins to fail by shrinking and separating at the seams, it is essential that it is replaced with new caulk. The Grout Medic’s San Diego recaulking service will bring your tiled areas back to rights, eliminating the threat of mold, mildew, and potential water damage behind your walls and other surfaces.
Protect your investment with professional recaulking.
Proper caulking will keep your tiled areas looking great, and free of harmful contaminants and damage caused by water seepage, but it will protect your tile investment too. Failing caulk, which is no longer protecting your tiles’ edges, leaves them vulnerable to impacts that can lead to cracks and chips. When you notice the first sign of your caulk’s deterioration, you must address it immediately. Putting off recaulking could lead to more repairs, which will be costlier and more time consuming.
Recaulking over old caulk is not the answer.
How difficult can it be to restore your caulk? It’s more involved than you might believe. The Grout Medic of San Diego urges you not to attempt recaulking on your own, and we implore you to never apply new caulk over old caulk. This is not a fix. The new caulk will not properly adhere to the broken, brittle edges of your failing caulk. Improper sealing will lead to your new caulk peeling away from your tiled surface in short order. What’s more, you could be sealing mold and mildew behind the new caulk application. The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro’s tile specialists will completely remove all your old caulk, thoroughly clean the surface, and apply new and improved caulk for a beautiful and safe finish.
