One of the most over looked home problems, which can easily be corrected, is the bath tub caulking — you know — that bead of caulk around the tub where the tub and tile meet…
Over the years, this caulking deteriorates and dries out and creates a gap between those areas which it is supposed to seal and protect.. Also because of the constant humidity, mold can develop ..
Now you have two problems : a broken seal between the tub and tile and unhealthy mold developing in your bathroom..
The broken seal will cause water to seep between the tub and the tile and eventually will cause the wall board to deteriorate and cause the tile to become loose. This will create a wider gap and absorb more water and cause more deterioration and degradation of the wall board..
Eventually, the mold will expand and create unhealthy air quality in your bathroom..
Beyond the obvious NASTY LOOKING TUB AREA, you also will have a wall coming apart and which will eventually need replacement..
