Elite Caulking in Candiac

In Quebec cities, such as Candiac for example, residents are often confronted with problems related to the poor waterproofing of their homes.

To avoid any situation of discomfort caused by this situation, Calfeutrage Élite offers you some very interesting avenues.

Why do water and air seep into your homes?

The materials used to manufacture doors and windows, the poor condition of the roof or the seals can also cause infiltration.

How to detect water infiltration?

Pour connaître l’origine d’une infiltration d’eau, le premier réflexe est d’inspecter minutieusement les zones suspectes. L’eau s’infiltre un peu partout et rapidement même dans les endroits les plus restreints.

Vous constaterez ainsi le ruissellement de l’eau à travers les fissures dans vos murs, portes ou fenêtres. De grâce, l’eau peut ruisseler de la Rue Dalhousie à l’Avenue de Deauville, mais pas dans vos murs ! Réagissez avant que cela ne cause encore plus de dégâts.

How to detect air infiltration?

This technique is called the wobble test. Air infiltration is concluded when the leaf shakes or when the flame of the candle flickers.

There is also a foolproof method to detect water or air infiltration in your home: thermographic inspection. This method is currently the most reliable. A specific device is used to assess the waterproofing of a house. Its effectiveness has been tested both for prevention and for the search for the causes of infiltration.

How to caulk your houses?

This technique is widely used in Canada and can strengthen the waterproofing of a house. It is a method carried out by professionals such as Calfeutrage Élite based in Greater Montreal.

Caulking Procedure for Your Doors and Homes

Le calfeutrage pourrait se faire par vous-même à condition que vous respectiez la procédure suivante.

La procédure consistera à fermer les issues afin d’éviter toute fuite ou infiltration. Pour mieux réussir le calfeutrage, il va falloir repérer avec précision les zones d’infiltration. Cela permettra d’utiliser le produit adapté au colmatage de chaque endroit atteint.

Les produits indispensables sont entre autres : lamousse polyuréthane, la silicone et les pâtes de calfeutrage professionnelles (et non celles de basse qualité). Pour éviter l’entrée de l’air par les portes et fenêtres bien qu’elles soient fermées, les coupe-froids-porte et les coupe-froids-fenêtre sont nécessaires.

En outre, si votre souhait est l’efficacité du calfeutrage de votre maison pendant de longues années, Calfeutrage Élite se chargera de toute la
maintenance. Nous utilisons des produits de qualité tels que les scellants adfast et adseal pour un travail impeccable.

Nous offrons également les services de calfeutrage coupe-feu.

Fire caulking

Curfew caulking ensures that your buildings are sealed against fire and smoke. This protection will limit the risk of fire in the city of Candiac.

In addition to sealants, the main HILTI and TREMCO firestop products are used by caulking professionals.

Caulking properly solves infiltration problems. However, if one of your Thermos windows is in poor condition, the caulking loses its effectiveness completely.

Thermos window renewal

To find out if your Thermos windows have lost their sealing, simply note:

An appearance of fog and stains between the two panes;

Damaged joints are peeling off.

In this case, you should consider replacing them. The glazing work is carried out by the artisan-glazier of Calfeutrage Élite, an expert in the replacement of Thermos windows. We are at your disposal to learn more about our professional guarantees.
