Garage Fire Safety

Fuel vapors, ignition sources, missing smoke detector batteries, and failed fire barriers can allow a small issue to become a major fire fast.
Does your siding gap need caulk?
Not always.
If the gap is properly flashed, caulking may not be needed because the flashing directs water away from the wall. If flashing is missing, caulk may help reduce moisture intrusion.
The key isn’t the gap itself, it’s whether proper flashing is installed behind it. Always follow the siding manufacturer’s installation requirements.🏡
