Caulking work involves the application of a waterproof sealant called caulk to fill gaps, cracks, or joints in various surfaces such as walls, windows, doors, and fixtures. This process helps prevent water, air, and other elements from infiltrating and causing damage, ensuring improved insulation and structural integrity. Caulking is commonly done in construction and home improvement projects to maintain a tight and durable seal, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the sealed components.
