Caulking with Backer Rod

What happens here

Begin by inspecting the egress window well and the surrounding areas where the window frame meets the foundation and siding. Look for any existing failing caulk, gaps, or loose debris. While the video starts mid-application, proper procedure involves clearing the area. The first application of caulk shown is part of the ongoing process of sealing the window frame.

Goal: Identify areas needing caulk and prepare the surfaces for sealing.
