Air Seal Your Home
Your attic space is one of the most important parts of your home. Proper ventilation in your attic helps address excess heat and moisture that can cause serious damage to your home.
Does my home need Air Sealing?
If your home experiences any of these problems, the answer is yes.
- Drafty rooms
- Hot and cold rooms; uneven temperature between rooms
- High heating or cooling bills
- Ice dams in the winter
- Dry indoor air in winter
- Recessed Lights
- Dust (especially in rooms directly below the attic)
Recessed Can Light
Not all Can Lights are compatible with insulation. In fact, covering some recessed can lights can be a fire hazard. Having a Rockwool cover not only protects you from fire hazards but also prevents air leakage and energy loss.
Sky Lights & Gaps
The main loss of energy is not having gaps sealed off. Just insulating isn’t enough. We foam seal any areas with gabs, including skylights, framing gaps, electrical, plumbing, and ceiling fans.
What Would We Seal?
Ducts, Registers & Returns – Often one of the most neglected areas when it comes to sealing an attic, yet also one of the most crucial. Even if you have recently installed insulation, failing to properly seal these areas can lead to bridging and gaps between the ducts, registers, and returns. This creates a prime location for the meeting of hot and cold temperatures, resulting in excessive moisture issues and providing a breeding ground for bacteria. Choosing a seemingly cheaper option during an estimate may end up costing you more in the long run.

Attic Venting
Importance of Proper Attic Ventilation?
The attic space in your home is very important. Proper ventilation is imperative to combat the build-up of excessive heat and moisture, which can seriously harm your property. The intense heat can cause deformation and premature aging of the roof sheathing and shingles, causing leaks earlier than anticipated. Neglecting adequate insulation on the attic floor would allow this heat to infiltrate the finished living areas, posing challenges and increasing expenses for maintaining a cozy living environment.
