The joins between building materials are hot spots for water leaks! And, if the water is getting inside, it’s causing damage you usually can’t see, making repairs a huge priority. A silicone compound that sticks to wet surfaces is the answer.
Here’s how
Step 1
Clean the surface with a scourer to remove any dirt or grease from around the leak area.
Step 2
Apply a generous bead of silicone to the join, using the nozzle to force it right into the leak. Once the water has stopped, smooth off the silicone flush with the surface.
