Signs that your caulking needs to be redone

The particular climate of Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac — with the constant humidity of the Lac des Deux Montagnes, the extreme temperature differences between harsh winters (down to -30 °C) and hot and humid summers (more than 30 °C) — considerably accelerates the degradation of the seals. Look out for the following signs:

• Visibly cracked, hardened, yellowed or peeled joints around windows and doors
• Cold drafts can be felt near openings, even when windows are closed
• Condensation or frost on the interior surface of the windows in winter
• Unexplained increase in your heating or cooling bill
• Traces of water infiltration, mould or moisture stains on the frames
• Presence of insects or small rodents that infiltrate through the deficient joints

If you observe one or more of these signs, it’s time to have your caulking inspected by a professional. Calfeutrage Élite offers free, no-obligation inspections anywhere in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac.

Our caulking services in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac

Caulking of windows and exterior doors

The complete replacement of caulking joints around windows and exterior doors is our most requested service in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac. We meticulously remove the old degraded sealant, prepare the surfaces (cleaning, drying, priming if necessary) and install a high-performance professional sealant. The result: elimination of draughts, significant heating savings and thermal comfort all year round.

Condominium caulking

The many recent condominium developments in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, particularly along Boulevard des Promenades and in new residential neighbourhoods, require regular maintenance of their seals. We work closely with condominium syndicates and property managers to plan effective interventions, minimizing inconvenience to residents while ensuring optimal protection of the building envelope.

Replacement of thermos windows

A fogged or condensation thermos glass between the two panels indicates a breakage of the airtight sealant. This problem is particularly common in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac due to the high ambient humidity coming from the lake. Caulking Elite offers thermos glass replacement to restore clarity and energy efficiency to your windows, at a fraction of the cost of a complete window replacement.

Masonry seals

Brick-cladding homes in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac are particularly vulnerable to water infiltration when masonry joints deteriorate. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles at the lakefront crack and peel off the joints between brick and window frames, flashings and spandrels. Our masonry joint service restores the integrity of these critical joints to prevent costly water infiltration.

Fire caulking

Fire caulking is a requirement of the National Building Code for multi-residential and commercial buildings in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac. This type of specialized sealant resists flames and prevents the spread of fire and smoke between units. Calfeutrage Élite uses ULC-certified firestop products and installs everything according to current standards.

Commercial and industrial caulking

Businesses and industrial buildings located along Boulevard des Promenades, Route 344 and in the commercial areas of Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac require commercial caulking adapted to their structures. Our technicians are proficient in techniques for glass facades, curtain walls, high-traffic commercial entrances and structural expansion joints. Each intervention complies with the standards of the National Building Code.

Pest Control Caulking

The proximity of the Lac des Deux Montagnes and the wooded areas surrounding Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac makes the properties particularly vulnerable to the intrusion of insects and small rodents. Our pest caulking service consists of sealing all potential entry points: plumbing and ventilation pipe surrounds, foundation cracks, wall-floor junctions and the periphery of basement windows. A sustainable and eco-friendly physical barrier.

Infrared thermography: detecting invisible leaks

Our infrared thermography service uses state-of-the-art thermal cameras to detect heat loss invisible to the naked eye. This tool is especially valuable for homeowners in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac who want to accurately identify problem areas before caulking — rather than guessing where the leaks are, we see them.

Why choose Calfeutrage Élite in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac?

10-year written warranty

We offer a limited warranty of up to 10 years on all of our caulking work. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. We believe that a job well done speaks for itself — and our warranty proves it.

Professional quality sealants

Caulking Elite uses only professional-grade sealants — polyurethane, neutral silicone and MS polymer hybrids — specifically formulated to withstand the demanding weather conditions of Quebec. These products offer superior elasticity, adhesion and longevity compared to sealants available in hardware stores. This is what allows us to offer such a strong warranty.

A certified team that knows Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac

Our technicians regularly intervene in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac and are familiar with the particularities of the local real estate stock: single-family homes from the 1980s and 2000s in established neighbourhoods, new construction in recent developments, multiplexes along main arteries and buildings that were affected by the historic floods of 2019. This knowledge of the field allows us to adapt our approach to each situation.

Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac: an area we know well

Nestled on the shores of the Lac des Deux Montagnes in the MRC de Deux-Montagnes, Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac is a dynamic municipality of more than 21,000 inhabitants. The city has experienced remarkable residential growth over the past few decades, with numerous real estate developments that have transformed this quiet village into a sought-after residential suburb on the North Shore.

On April 27, 2019, Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac experienced a significant event when a natural dike gave way, causing hundreds of homes to flood. This episode highlighted the crucial importance of building waterproofing in this waterfront municipality. Since then, many homeowners have realized that caulking plays a front-line role in protecting their real estate investment.

The housing stock in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac consists mainly of single-family homes, semi-detached houses and small apartment buildings built between the 1970s and 2020. Homes located near the lake are particularly exposed to ambient humidity and prevailing winds, which accelerates the degradation of the caulking joints. More recent neighbourhoods, such as those developed along Boulevard des Promenades, present challenges related to foundation settlement in the first few years, which can create cracks in the waterproofing joints.

Frequently Asked Questions: Caulking in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac

How often should caulking be redone in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac?

As a general rule, professional-grade caulking lasts between 7 and 10 years in Quebec climatic conditions. Our page When to redo joints? gives you all the criteria to look out for. However, in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, the proximity of the Lac des Deux Montagnes and the high ambient humidity can reduce this lifespan. We recommend an annual visual inspection, especially for lakefront properties.

Is it possible to caulk in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac in winter?

yes. Even in cold weather, Caulking Elite has special sealants that can be applied at low temperatures. Our team is used to working in the harsh winter conditions of the North Shore. However, for best results, the ideal period is from spring to autumn, when temperatures remain above 5°C. Visit our page When to redo joints? to learn more.

How much does it cost to caulk a house in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac?

The price depends on the surface area to be treated, the number of openings (windows and doors), the type of sealant chosen and the complexity of the work. For a typical single-family home in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, the cost is usually between $800 and $2,500. The investment quickly pays for itself through heating savings, which can reach 15 to 25% of your energy bill. Contact us at 514 910-3548 for a free and personalized estimate.

After the 2019 floods, can caulking protect my home?

Caulking protects your building from water infiltration from above (rain, slush, driving rain) by hermetically sealing the building envelope. It does not replace flood protection measures from below (sump pump, check valve, protective wall), but a building with a perfectly sealed envelope is considerably more resistant to all weather conditions. If your property was damaged during the 2019 floods, our technicians can inspect the integrity of your joints and recommend priority interventions.

Do you offer pest control caulking in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac?

Absolutely. Pest caulking is one of our most requested services in the Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac area, due to the proximity of wooded areas and the lake. Mice, carpenter ants and other pests exploit the slightest cracks to enter your home. We methodically identify and seal each potential entry point with durable, rodent-resistant materials.

What warranty do you offer on caulking work?

Caulking Elite offers a limited warranty of up to 10 years on all of our work. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. We only use certified professional sealants, adapted to the demanding climatic conditions of the Laurentian region and the North Shore.

Do you serve the apartment buildings and businesses in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac?

yes. In addition to residential caulking, Calfeutrage Élite serves multi-unit buildings (duplex, triplex, multiplex), condominiums and commercial buildings in Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac. We work with owners, property managers and condominium syndicates to plan interventions adapted to each type of building. Each project is the subject of a detailed report.
