Caulking

Caulking is a sealing process that uses specialized compounds to fill gaps and cracks in roofing structures. It is commonly applied around roof penetrations, joints, and flashing areas. Caulking helps prevent water infiltration and improves energy efficiency by sealing air leaks. In roofing systems, proper caulking maintenance is essential for long-term performance, especially in regions with heavy rainfall like Vancouver. Over time, caulking may need to be inspected and replaced to ensure continued effectiveness.
