Air sealing in the crawl space (aka "crawl space sealing"), is one of the most significant energy saving improvements one can make to most existing homes.
Air typically enters and exits a house via a phenomenon called the "stack effect" or the "chimney effect," which is based on the principle that hot air rises -- the majority of the conditioned air in your home typically escapes through holes in the ceiling, entering the attic and escaping thereby. This air is replaced by air drawn in from the basement -- a typically leaky area where utility penetrations and gaps in building materials allow air to enter the basement. As this air heats, it rises through leaks in the floor and enters the living space.
Our crawl space sealing services will ensure that a minimum of cold air from the outside is permitted to enter your basement. This leads to lower energy bills, a warmer living space, warmer floors, and an altogether healthier, more comfortable home.
