Building Envelope & Duct Sealing
Air sealing not only conserves energy but also enhances indoor air quality. Gaps and cracks can allow pollutants, pest, and moisture to enter the home, potentially leading to health issues such as allergies and respiratory problems. Sealing these leaks helps to limit the entry of outdoor contaminants and maintains a healthier indoor environment.

We specialize in air sealing services for residential homes. Our expert team utilizes advanced blower door testing to accurately quantify leaks and identify areas that need air sealing for energy and comfort improvement. Air-sealing is essential to a home's performance and comfort. Pressure differences are the driving forces that move air across the building envelope. It is important to stop air leakage for occupants health, comfort, and the building's integrity.Based on the data collected, we establish a comprehensive air sealing plan tailored to your home’s needs.
Duct Sealing
We provide thorough duct tightness testing and sealing services to ensure your home's ductwork is operating at peak efficiency. Optimizing a system starts with proper airflow. Lost airflow in a unconditioned space has more than a financial consequence. Air leaks in ductwork imports and exports things continuously, until something bad happens. This bad thing could be physical health, mechanical, or structural... Our process starts with advanced duct tightness testing to pinpoint leaks and potential problem areas. Based on this data, we create a targeted duct sealing plan to address the identified issues.

Controlling Unwanted Blowing and Sucking
Duct leakage is a monster that sucks and blows, draining you of conditioned comfort. Pressure differences created by the comfort monster can wreak havoc, creating a unhealthy, uncomfortable, and expensive home performance issue. We have found duct leakage in Atlanta area homes to be on average 10% - 12% in new construction and this is after the HVAC company passed themselves with a less than 6% code compliance score. In existing home the ductwork is often choked, stomped, pinched, ripped and incapable of moving air. The CFMs put out by the Heating and Cooling supply side, must be brought back on the return side. Restricted and leaky ducts are a guaranteed poor HVAC system operation. Failing to test ducts for leakage, improper design, and airflow, could be a $3,000 variable speed motor or a $5,000 compressor replacement for labor, with the manufacturers 10 year warranty applied. Insurance or your home warranty will not help you with that, and the company that installed will not fix it for free after the first year. New Builds and Retro Fit projects it is time for homeowners, potential buyers, investors, property management and renters to do due diligence to gain control, integrity and some quality transparency with 3rd party testing.
HVAC and duct system are often looked at as the heart and the circulatory system of the home. Often the HVAC and duct system is the most problematic system of the home. Many contractors are happy when homeowners believe a bigger and better HVAC system is all they need, or more insulation on top of the dirty old stuff. This can be true in some cases, BUT!!!!! in Metro Atlanta air sealing and duct sealing is missing to begin with.
