Air Sealing Services
Eliminate drafts and maximize your insulation's effectiveness with professional air sealing.
Why Air Sealing Is Essential
Even the best insulation can't do its job if air is flowing freely around it. Air sealing and insulation work together as a system—you need both for optimal energy efficiency and comfort.
The typical home has enough air leaks to add up to a 2-foot hole in your wall. That's conditioned air escaping and unconditioned air entering your home 24/7. Air sealing closes these gaps, making your home significantly more comfortable and energy-efficient.
To fully air seal an attic, it is required to remove insulation to ensure that we thoroughly seal all air leaks.
The Stack Effect
Warm air rises and creates pressure differences that pull cold air in at the bottom of your home and push warm air out at the top. This "stack effect" is responsible for much of the air leakage in homes.
Benefits of Professional Air Sealing
Air sealing delivers noticeable improvements to your home's comfort and efficiency.
Eliminate Drafts
Stop cold drafts in winter and hot air infiltration in summer for consistent comfort.
Maximize Insulation Effectiveness
Insulation works best when air isn't bypassing it. Air sealing is essential for optimal performance.
Reduce Energy Bills
Air leaks can account for 25-40% of energy loss. Sealing them delivers savings.
Improve Air Quality
Prevent dust, pollen, pollutants, and outdoor air from entering your living spaces.
Control Humidity
Proper sealing helps maintain consistent humidity levels, reducing mold risk.
Quieter Home
Sealed gaps reduce outside noise infiltration for a more peaceful environment.
