Do you feel drafts in parts of your home? Do you have that one room in your house that you just can’t seem to keep warm in the winter? You probably have an air leak and don’t even know it. These tiny (and not so tiny) gaps and cracks let outside air creep into your home, minimizing the effects of your heating/cooling systems and, more importantly, costing you energy dollars. Air sealing service can limit your air leaks and preserve your home’s comfort while reducing energy costs.

Air leaks and the gaps they come through can pop up in any home, even recently constructed ones! Some of the most common places these gaps pop up are areas of that home that see a lot of traffic and/or have seen recent work done.

• Doors
• Windows
• Electrical Fixtures
• Wire Penetrations
• Basements
• Crawl spaces
• Exterior Walls

Air leak symptoms are kind of hard to miss; the source of the leak, not so much. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s likely you have a leak somewhere nearby in need of sealing services:

• Unusually drafty rooms
• Rooms that are hotter or colder than the rest of the house
• Unexplained jumps in your heating/cooling bills
• Extreme dust, especially in the rooms directly below the attic.
• Moisture/mildew odors

Aside from the obvious benefit of repairing a literal hole in the side of your house, there are a few things you stand to gain by getting those air leaks patched up. Namely decreasing your monthly energy spend; air leaks means the money you spend cooling/heating your home is quite literally money out the window. Sealant also keeps dust and other allergens where they belong on the outside, improving your indoor air quality. Patching the holes also means your HVAC system won’t be working as hard to bring your home to equilibrium, extending its lifespan.
