What is Air Sealing?

Air sealing is the process of closing gaps, cracks, and openings in a home’s envelope to prevent air leakage. This involves sealing areas where air can escape or enter, such as around windows, doors, plumbing penetrations, and other structural components.

Proper air sealing is essential for maintaining indoor comfort, enhancing energy efficiency, and protecting the overall health of your home.

Air-Sealing

What Causes Air Leakage?

Air leakage can occur due to various factors:

  • Poor Construction Practices: Inadequate sealing during construction can leave gaps and cracks in the building envelope.
  • Aging Materials: Over time, materials like caulking and weatherstripping can deteriorate, leading to air leaks.
  • Settling of the House: As homes settle, small cracks and gaps can form around windows, doors, and foundations.
  • Thermal Expansion and Contraction: Changes in temperature can cause materials to expand and contract, creating gaps and openings.
  • Improper Installation: Poorly installed windows, doors, and insulation can contribute to significant air leakage.

The Benefits of Professional Air Sealing

Addressing air leaks with professional air sealing offers numerous benefits:

  • Energy Savings: By reducing air leakage, you can save significantly on heating and cooling costs.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Eliminating drafts ensures a more consistent and comfortable indoor environment.
  • Improved Air Quality: Sealing gaps helps keep out pollutants, allergens, and dust, promoting better indoor air quality.
  • Moisture Control: Proper air sealing prevents moisture intrusion, reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and structural damage.
  • Increased Home Value: An energy-efficient and well-sealed home is more attractive to potential buyers, potentially increasing its market value.
