How to Use This Estimator
1. Walk the property and measure all gaps. Check the foundation, soffits/eaves, door and window frames, and utility penetrations (pipes, conduit, cable). Record linear feet for each area.
2. Count utility penetrations and vents. Each pipe or cable entry needs sealing. Each vent opening needs screening.
3. Select the typical gap width. Narrower gaps stretch caulk further. A 1/4-inch gap gets ~40 ft per tube; 1-inch gaps only ~20 ft per tube.
