Caulking in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, a jewel of the Montérégie region, stands out for its privileged location along the picturesque Richelieu River. Its residential neighbourhoods are a captivating patchwork: the historic homes of Old Saint-Jean, contemporary family neighbourhoods, brand new condominiums and booming commercial areas… Each one tells a different story.
The city’s heterogeneous architecture is part of a typical Quebec setting where winters are biting and summers are hot and humid. Faced with these climatic vagaries… An imperative: the meticulous maintenance of the caulking. The latter guarantees effective protection against the elements and ensures the durability of our buildings.
Whether it’s for a pretty century-old house or a modern structure (and everything in between), our team comes to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu with one promise: to offer custom caulking services. Our mission? Ensure the complete waterproofing of the buildings – nothing must pass through; No air, no water, no humidity – while optimising their energy performance so that their occupants benefit from lasting comfort… This is our commitment!
A climate that puts seals to the test
The climate of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu is a real challenge for caulking. Winters, often punctuated by thaws and freeze/thaw cycles, weaken the joints as the months go by. In the spring, high humidity and heavy rainfall put more strain on sealants. In summer, heat and prolonged exposure to UV rays cause materials to expand, reducing their durability.
Without regular replacement or maintenance, damaged caulking quickly leads to:
- Water infiltration promoting mould and interior damage.
- A loss of energy efficiency with increased heating and cooling costs.
- Deterioration of frames, walls and exterior finishes.
We offer preventive and corrective interventions to keep your buildings protected all year round.
