Remedial Caulking


Thorough Caulk & Weather Sealant Removal & Replacement

Caulk and weather sealant sometimes need to be repaired or replaced as a building ages. These materials fail because of improper application, weathering, pollutants, building movement, ultraviolet radiation, and other less common factors. When caulk or sealant fails, it is good practice to find out why so that you can replace it with a material with more suitable properties.

Sealant Inspections & Field Testing

Universal Building Services, Inc. inspects your project carefully and usually in conjunction with a technical representative of a sealant manufacturer. We conduct field tests to determine the exact requirements for removal of field caulking, surface preparation, and application of the recommended replacement caulk or sealant.
