St. Louis Air Sealing
Air leaks can be costly. Not only do they allow conditioned air to seep out of your home, reducing your comfort, but they also suck money out of your wallet in the form of lost energy. If all air leaks were sealed and no air leaked out of the home, there would be no room for air to leak in, and your home would be far more energy-efficient. This is the goal of air sealing a home - sealing air leaks reduces the amount of conditioned air lost, thus reducing the amount of unconditioned air that enters the home.
At Building Envelope Experts, we offer comprehensive St. Louis air sealing services that target your home’s most vulnerable areas and cut off airflow to keep your home more comfortable and efficient.
Attic Sealing
If we had to guess, we could confidently say your attic is the single largest source of unwanted heat exchange and energy loss in your home. During summertime, blistering heat and sweltering sunlight cause the air in your attic to catapult into triple digits (especially if your attic ventilation is inadequate). This air can seep down through cracks or gaps in your ceiling, causing the cool temperatures your air conditioner created to slowly and steadily creep back upward.
Building Envelope Experts seals your attic by targeting gaps in your ceiling, wherever they hide. This means properly insulating and sealing holes drilled for ceiling fans, light fixtures, smoke detectors, bathroom fans, and more. By sealing these gaps and installing highly-efficient attic insulation, we can cut off sources of air leaks and keep your home feeling better throughout the year.
Basement Sealing
Basements are also a key source of unwanted heat loss, particularly around support joists in your ceiling. When air leaks out of your house, it is frequently replaced by cold air from spaces down below, resulting in drafty feelings during the winter months. Air sealing your basement prevents this unwanted chilly and humid air from entering your home and compromising your comfort. If you’ve noticed that your home feels drafty and cold, particularly during the heating season, schedule an inspection and learn how our basement sealing services can help you!
