Caulking Services in Campbellford, ON
Keep the water out.
Some Campbellford homes sit right along the river, and moisture finds its way through any joint that isn't sealed. Every job in our caulking services in Campbellford starts the same way: the old bead gets cut out completely, because fresh caulk won't stick to leftover residue. That goes for tubs, showers, sinks, windows and exterior joints. Wet areas get silicone, and trim and siding get a paintable acrylic-latex.
Sealing Old Windows and Damp Bathrooms in Campbellford
Historic houses downtown often still have wood windows and trim that move with the seasons. Window caulking on those houses dries out and cracks as the wood swells in summer and shrinks in winter, and once a gap opens, rain runs straight into the sill. We cut out the failed caulk and clean the joint. Then a flexible, paintable bead goes in that can handle the movement.
Bathrooms in riverside and low-lying homes can take longer to dry, and mildew creeps under tired caulk around the tub. Running the fan longer after a shower helps between recaulks. If the black spots are under the bead, no amount of scrubbing will help. All of it comes out, the joint gets a mildew remover and dries completely, and then new 100% silicone goes in. Expect $75 to $150 to recaulk a typical tub or shower.
Out in the countryside, with contractors few and far between, caulking gets put off until there's a draft or a stain on the ceiling. Caulking jobs carry a $50 minimum. For a very small job, we may combine it with other work nearby, and adding the recaulk to a longer list is often the easiest way to get it done.
Pedro handles caulking removal and replacement around tubs, showers, sinks and windows. For how he approaches caulking services in general, see our caulking services page.
How caulking services works
Removal
We cut and scrape out every bit of the old caulking. Anything left behind stops the new caulk from sticking properly, so we don't skip this.
Clean and prep
The joint is cleaned with a mildew remover and left to dry completely.
Apply new caulk
Wet areas get 100% silicone. Trim and exterior joints get a paintable acrylic-latex. Every bead is tooled smooth for a clean, professional finish.
Cure time
Silicone takes 24 hours to fully cure. We'll let you know when it's safe to use the tub or sink again.

Our basement near the river feels damp. Will new caulking fix that?
Probably not on its own. Caulking seals gaps around basement windows and where pipes and wires pass through the wall, so it can stop water that's getting in at those spots. It won't stop moisture coming through the foundation itself or water pooling against the outside of the wall. Pedro can look at where the damp is showing up and tell you which problem you're dealing with.
The caulk between our old farmhouse tub and the tile keeps cracking. Why does it keep coming back?
Older floors flex, and the weight of a full tub with someone in it pushes the joint open and closed every time it's used. Hard or worn-out caulk can't keep up. We remove the old bead, check whether the floor around the tub is soft, and use 100% silicone, which stays flexible. We also fill the tub before caulking so the joint is set at its widest.
