Home Air & Draft Sealing

The EPA recommends a process called “air sealing” to improve the envelope of your home—the walls, ceilings, windows, and floors. Using a blower door, professional air sealers find hidden leaks an cracks in your home’s envelope. Effective sealing and insulating of these leaks add comfort to your home and can cut heating and cooling bills by as much as 20%.

Air Leakage

How tight is too tight? Professional air sealers know that your home needs to breath, and should never tighten the house below .35 air exchanges per hour...sometimes more, depending on the number of occupants and the size of your home.

What we do...

First, Cville-Enviro will identify opportunities in your home. Diagnostic tools (blower doors and infrared imaging) enable Cville-Enviro’s trained technicians to find leaks and gaps in your home’s “envelope” —the walls, floors, ceiling, and openings around doors and windows.

Second, we 'seal the envelope'. Cracks and leaks in your home are strategically sealed with low-VOC caulks, high quality weather-stripping, and spray-foam insulation.  Gaps in missing or poor insulation are also resolved.
