Why You Should Replace Cracked Caulk Around Your Sink


Caulk around sinks and countertops doesn’t last forever. Over time it can dry out, shrink, or crack. When that happens, water can begin to seep behind the sink or countertop where you can’t see it.

Even small amounts of moisture in those areas can cause problems over time, including damage to cabinets, deterioration of wood materials, and the potential for mold growth. The good news is that replacing old caulk is a simple home maintenance task that most homeowners can handle themselves.

In the video below, I walk through the basic steps for this project, including:

  • How to remove old, cracked caulk

  • How to apply new caulk for a clean, finished look

It’s a quick project that can help protect your cabinets and prevent more expensive repairs later.

Watch the video below to see the process step-by-step.

Maintaining small items like this around your home can go a long way toward protecting your property and avoiding bigger issues down the road.
