What's the best sealant to seal cracks around the house? And where do I can buy them?
100% silicone caulk. Exterior caulk. Home Depot, Lowes, Menard's, Walmart, hardware store.
Concrete caulk. At home depot. They look pretty big, may want to have a foundation co come out and check it out. May need more than just caulking.
Looks like you're getting a lot of moisture in there, you might want to consult a pro about this first. You'll need to clean that particular one out very very well and let it dry completely before filling.
I agree with Becky about moisture. You might consider aiming the downspout extender away from that wall, and stretching it out a bit by pulling out the accordion pleats.
That last joint looks huge! Make sure you're using backer rod for anything deeper than half an inch.. For that area, I would recommend DAP Premium Polyurethane Adhesive Construction Sealant ( as long as its not greater than half an inch) Good luck !
Any hardware store. Make sure it is for stone and exterior use.
Acrylic sealant for wood house cracks. Acrylic-based compounds are highly water-resistant and provide long-lasting protection. Manufacturers offer them in a wide variety of colours. They can be used not only for logs but also for boards or beams. With their help, it will be convenient to remove cracks in window sills, casings, etc. The painting will not have any problems, so it can be combined with various finishes. Silicone sealant for cracks for a wooden house is used everywhere: it has high strength, and at the same time, it will not lose its properties.
