CAULK TUB / SHOWER ENCLOSURE AT TUB / WALL / PAN / VARIOUS
LOCATIONS: Several items are mentioned here.
The inspector will usually indicate the correct
items to caulk or may indicate general caulking
and sealing are needed at various locations
without being specific. The meaning of the word
"enclosure" is that part of the
surround which includes the door or other access
into the tub or shower. The surround includes
all the walls around a tub or shower. The
surround and enclosure should be kept as water
tight as possible. Any water leaking outside the
tub or shower surround can cause damages to
flooring, subfloors, walls and ceilings below,
etc. Caulk the shower or tub enclosure where it
meets the walls or the shower pan dam or tub
edge.
