Sealing
Reduce uncontrolled air leakage
and improve comfort.
Air leakage is one of the primary causes of drafts and heat loss in older homes. Sealing key pathways improves how your home performs year-round.
What’s included
Air sealing typically focuses on:
Attic bypasses and penetrations
Plumbing and electrical openings
Top plates and framing transitions
Other accessible leakage points
Work is completed using durable materials appropriate to each location.
Why it’s often the first step
Insulation slows heat transfer.
Air sealing controls airflow.
Without addressing air leakage, insulation cannot perform as intended. That’s why air sealing is often the most impactful first upgrade.
When to consider it
Air sealing may be appropriate if:
- You notice persistent drafts
- Upper levels feel colder in winter
- Energy costs are rising
- Your home predates modern air barrier standards
