"I really appreciate the professionalism and responsiveness of the staff and company. The roof also looks fantastic. I highly recommend them for roof inspection, insurance claim assistance and new roof installation."
The joint has to be wide enough to accommodate the movement it will see, and the sealant depth is typically about half the joint width within defined limits, which is why a backer rod is used to control it. Sealant works by stretching across the gap, so a bead that is too deep cannot stretch and tears itself, and one applied into a joint that is too narrow fails on the first hot day. Joint dimension is a design decision made before anyone opens a tube.
Backer rod is a compressible foam rope pushed into the joint before sealing. It sets the depth of the sealant, gives the bead its hourglass shape, and stops the sealant bonding to the back of the joint. Without it you get three sided adhesion, where the sealant is stuck front, back, and both sides and cannot move, so it splits as soon as the joint opens. It is a small material that determines whether the joint lasts two years or fifteen.
Silicone holds up better to sun and heat and stays flexible far longer, which suits joints with real movement and long UV exposure. Urethane takes traffic and abrasion better, can be painted, and bonds well to concrete, which suits horizontal joints and surfaces that get walked or driven on. Silicone generally cannot be painted and needs compatible materials next to it. Matching the chemistry to the exposure matters more than the brand.
Commonly in the range of ten to twenty years, driven far more by joint design, sun exposure, and installation quality than by the product label. South and west elevations go first. The failure to look for is not a missing bead but a bead that has pulled loose along one edge, which lets water in while still appearing intact from the ground. Binoculars from grade will find most of it.
No, and this is the most common failed repair on a building. New sealant bonds to the old sealant rather than to the joint, so it fails at the original interface and the water path stays open. The old material has to be cut out, the surfaces cleaned to sound substrate, primed if the manufacturer calls for it, and the joint rebuilt. Our waterproofing team treats joint replacement as removal and rebuild rather than as a recoat.
