Air Sealing
Throughout your home, there are tiny gaps that allow air to leak through, often unnoticed. These leaks can occur in various areas, such as around windows, doors, and even in the walls and ceilings. This escaping air can travel up to your attic or down to your basement, but it always seems to move away from the areas that matter most—where you live and breathe. Such inefficiencies not only compromise your comfort but also lead to increased energy costs as your heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain a consistent temperature.
Our air-sealing specialists are trained to identify these gaps and implement effective solutions to seal them up. Using advanced techniques and tools, they meticulously inspect your home to locate even the smallest leaks that could be contributing to energy loss. By preventing air from escaping, we help you create a more comfortable living environment while also enhancing your home’s energy efficiency. This proactive approach not only saves you money on utility bills but also contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle by reducing your overall energy consumption.
Attic Air Sealing
Insulation keeps the warmth/cooling coming up into your attic, but most homes have gaps that still allows some of the air to flow in. Recessed lights, bath fans, plumbing piping, home air vents, and chimneys all have gaps around them. We can’t see them from inside the house, but up in the attic, the gaps are visible and open for air to flow through. By sealing these gaps, we stop the air from flowing out of your home and save you money.
Basement Air Sealing
Your basement is another place air leaks into. Heating and plumbing pipes, chimneys, and air ducts all provide areas for air to leak out of your home. We use 2-part foam, fire-caulking, and thermal barriers to block off these gaps. If necessary, we can also insulate the ceiling in the basement to create a barrier similar to the insulation in the attic.
