Caulk is sometimes used as the be-all-end-all solution for DIY home problems, especially leaks. However, there are many problems caulk just can’t fix.

When to Use Calk

There are some instances when caulk can be used to resolve the issue. See a few of these below:

  • For very small holes
  • When you can’t use flashing as an option
  • When there is a more permanent solution on the way

While caulk is a very useful tool for home repairs and home maintenance, it can’t solve all problems. Sometimes, you just have to do the dirty work of a repair or replacement.
