Having your attic air sealed properly is important. If your attic has poor sealing you are allowing air leaks causing hot air to escape. Having air leaks sealed can improve you heating and cooling costs for your home. If you have air leaks you are also allowing bacteria to grow in your attic. If you are having air leaks chances are moisture is also getting in. This can aid in bacteria growth. You will also have the risk of moisture rotting any wooden roof trusses. Hiring The Attic Specialist can assist you in fixing this problem. Sealing your home properly is named one of the most cost efficient ways to make your home more comfortable and cost efficient.

How do we find air leaks?

We have special equipment that will assist us in finding all air leaks. We will also be looking for insulation that appears dirtier than the rest. This will tell us that air flow is carrying dirt and other debris into the attic in that area. If insulation is worn down in one area it may be a sign of an air leak right there. We will look for evidence of wood rot where moisture may be getting in. If moisture is getting in so is air. We also inspect for rodents and look for evidence of the areas they are getting in. If a rodent can get through a hole so can air and moisture!

You may be wondering what will be done to seal off any air leaks. After our thorough inspection we will be able to determine what is needed to seal off the air leaks. This will be determined by how many air leaks you have and how big or little they are. In some cases we can seal off air leaks in your attic by using caulk or silicone. This would be the case if the air leaks are small such as small holes or crevasses. If you have large air leaks, we may advise replacing your insulation. If the air leaks are also an area that rodents are getting in we will use steel wool, wire mesh or a hardened foam to assist in plugging the hole. These techniques assist in keeping the rodents out as well.
