Finding air leaks isn’t always easy, many are hidden behind walls, ceilings, or in crawl spaces. That’s why we use thermal imaging technology to detect these leaks quickly and accurately. By identifying temperature differences, we can pinpoint exactly where air is escaping and ensure the right areas are sealed for maximum efficiency.

Got ice dams? Don’t just pile on more insulation, focus on AIR SEALING! When warm air escapes from your home, it melts the snow on your roof, which then refreezes at the eaves, forming ice dams. The real culprit? Air leakage, something insulation alone can’t fix. The solution is using airtight materials to stop warm air from sneaking into your attic or roof cavity.

Check out this great article from the Building Performance Workshop on the importance of air sealing to tackle air leakage.

Before you tackle air leaks, you need to know what you’re dealing with. Understanding where to find them and how to seal them up is crucial. Here’s where those sneaky leaks usually hang out:

• Windows and doors
• Attic hatches and drop-down stairs
• Ductwork, electrical outlets and switch plates
• Plumbing penetrations and recessed lights
• Basement rim joists and seal plates
• Chimneys and flues

Not all air leaks are obvious, but they can cause major problems.
