Home Air Infiltration and Leaks
 

Sealing air leaks in the home is a fairly easy do it yourself project. Once you determine where the leaks are coming from it's simple to block air infiltration and there are several methods you can use:

*Caulk is great for small holes or cracks and pipes with gaps where they come through the wall.

*Foam Sealants can be used to fill larger areas.

*Weather Stripping around doors and windows.

*Door sweeps to seal the gap underneath your door
