Ottawa Caulking Services is not a one-size-fits-all offering. A historic home in the Glebe requires a different approach than a modern condo in Westboro or a commercial warehouse in Kanata. At Caulking Ottawa, we provide a full spectrum of sealant applications designed to protect every square inch of your building envelope and interior spaces.
Caulking is the unsung hero of building maintenance. It prevents water damage, improves thermal efficiency by stopping air leaks, and blocks pest infiltration. Our certified team leverages industrial-grade materials to deliver long-lasting results that withstand Ottawa's extreme temperature fluctuations, ensuring your property remains secure, efficient, and aesthetically pristine.

Why Professional Caulking is Essential
Many property owners attempt DIY caulking, only to find the seal failing within months. Professional Ottawa caulking services differ in three critical ways:
1. Surface Preparation
The most common cause of failure is applying new caulk over old residue. Our technicians perform a complete "cut-out," removing 100% of the old material and using industrial solvents to dewax the surface, ensuring a molecular bond.
2. Tooling & Aesthetics
A "bead" of caulk must be tooled (smoothed) to concave perfection. This isn't just for looks; tooling forces the sealant into the joint to eliminate air pockets. Our lines are straight, clean, and consistent.
3. Material Science
We don't use $5 hardware store latex. We utilize commercial-grade silicones (for UV resistance), polyurethanes (for masonry adhesion), and hybrids that offer 20+ year lifespans and superior flexibility (Class 50 or higher).
Signs You Need Service
- ❌ Drafts: Feeling cold air near windows/outlets.
- ❌ Cracks: Visible splits in existing sealant.
- ❌ Mold: Black spots on bathroom silicone.
- ❌ Peeling: Strips of caulk hanging loose.
- ❌ Bugs: Ants entering through baseboards.
- ❌ Energy Bills: Unexplained spikes in heating costs.
