Failed caulking and mortar joints are common but avoidable with the right techniques. Here’s what went wrong in these examples: 🔴 Caulking Issues: -Old sealant wasn’t removed (Urethanes and silicones don’t bond) -Missing backer rod reduces flexibility and durability -Sealant is too thin for the width of the joint 🔴 Mortar Issues: -Thin application over unprepped joints = no lasting bond 📷 See the photos for what NOT to do.
