Failed caulk and worn seals replaced around windows, doors, tubs and showers to keep Florida moisture out.

About Sanford: Sanford is the Seminole County seat, northeast of Orlando on the south shore of Lake Monroe at the head of navigation on the St. Johns River. Brick-lined First Street, the lakefront Riverwalk and four local historic districts sit alongside newer homes and apartments.
The place to look first is the hairline where caulk has pulled away from the tile or the frame, because that is where water gets in. Some Sanford homes date to earlier decades, and in older homes original sealant around tubs, windows, doors and trim has had a long time to harden, shrink and let go. A bead can look intact from across the room and still be open at the joint.
Removal and prep carry the job. Old caulk is cut out and scraped back, then the joint is cleaned and left dry before new sealant goes in, following the product label. Tub and shower seams, sink edges, window and door frames, and gaps at exterior trim and siding joints get the same treatment, and worn weatherstripping is replaced where drafts come through. Black mildew sitting in an old bead leaves with the bead. Rotted wood and window repair are separate work.
Go room by room and list caulk that is cracked, peeling or shrinking, black seams in a tub or shower, drafts at a door or window, and water stains below a window. A check of sealant and weatherstripping looks at their condition, not at where a leak comes from. A one-time visit can cover the list, and a monthly or quarterly plan suits rental owners who want joints checked regularly.

These answers apply across the Orlando metro, including Winter Park, Kissimmee, Lake Nona, Windermere, Oviedo and Winter Garden.
Sun, heat, humidity and heavy rain make sealant harden, crack and pull away from joints faster than in milder climates.
Look at exterior window and door frames, trim joints, tubs, showers, sinks and any pipe or vent that passes through a wall.
Yes. Removing failed caulk, cleaning the joint and applying the right sealant is routine handyman work and often prevents larger moisture repairs.
New sealant generally grips better on a clean, bare joint, so the hardened bead is removed first and the joint cleaned and dried. That matters most where original caulk has shrunk and pulled away. Describe the rooms when you call (407) 638-8956 or request service online.
Mildew sitting in an old caulk joint is handled by cutting out the bead and resealing the seam, nothing more. There is no mold testing or remediation and no health claim. Landlords and property managers can put tubs, showers and sinks on one list for a visit.
Fresh sealant and weatherstripping can help keep drafts, water and moisture out at door and window frames, and a tighter opening may help the AC keep up in the warm months. No savings figures are promised, and a sealant check looks at condition only, not leaks.
