Frequently Asked Questions About Colorado Springs Caulking Service

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAULK AND CAULKING?

There is a difference, though it's quite common for these two words to get mixed up. Caulk is the substance that you apply to seal up gaps and so on, while caulking is the act of applying caulk. Another point of confusion is the difference between caulk and grout—caulk is a semi-flexible sealant that is commonly made with silicone or acrylic, and grout is a semi-porous, cement-based product that closes the gaps between tiles.

HOW DO YOU FIX THE CAULK THAT WAS APPLIED INCORRECTLY?

If you or a member of your household decided to try a DIY project and it didn't work out quite how you were envisioning, don't panic. The best way to fix this problem is to remove it and give it another go—or let the professionals take over. If it's silicone and it was recently applied, try softening it up with damp rags and then gently pick at it until you can lift an edge and peel it away. If that doesn't work, it will probably need to be scraped off with a scraper tool or dissolved with dissolving chemicals. We can take care of the removal and reapplication process to deliver the best possible Colorado Springs caulking service results.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO SCHEDULE Colorado Springs CAULKING SERVICE?

That really depends on a number of important factors such as where it's applied and what type of caulk was used, but generally speaking, you can expect to need Colorado Springs caulking service every five years or so, especially in areas that are prone to water exposure such as a shower. Some of the factors that impact the longevity of caulk are:

• Quality and type of product
• Surface condition
• Application method
• Humidity levels
• Mildew or mold growth
• How well it has been maintained
