Common Sources of Air Leaks
While air leaks can pop up almost anywhere in your home, our air sealing professionals know that there are a few common locations where we tend to find them. Some of the most common spots include:
- Bath fans
- Around electrical outlets and switches
- Plumbing and wiring penetrations through floors, walls, and ceilings
- Around chimney passes
- Attic access hatches, doors, and drop-down stairs
- Around recessed lights and fans
- Around windows and exterior doors
- Cracks, gaps, and holes in drywall or plaster
- Sump pump holes
- Leaky basement windows
- Rim joists in the basement or crawl space
We start by performing a blower test that provides a leakage ranking for your home. This is our baseline. Our strategy to eliminate your air leaks usually starts with your attic. First, we’ll check for leaks and air seal your attic, followed by your basement or crawl space. These are major sources of heat transfer. Then, we’ll move on to the rest of your home. Once we are done, we’ll perform a blower test that will tell us your new leakage rating. Our goal is to make your home as airtight as possible so your insulation can work optimally.
