Why Does Air Sealing Matter for Multi-Family Properties?
Most homes and multi-family properties, especially older buildings built before 1985, lack sufficient insulation and suffer energy waste from significant air leaks. These leaks, which can be found in the attic, crawl space, basement, around windows and doors, and around other openings, result in energy loss, increased utility costs, higher levels of indoor air pollutants, pest infestations, and more. An airtight barrier between the indoors and outdoors lays a fountain for HVAC efficiency and consistent comfort!
Signs Your Multi-Family Building Needs Air Sealing
Indoor drafts are a telltale sign of air leakage in a home or building. Even if these leaks are not visible to the naked eye, their impact can be felt throughout the property. Our air sealing services are specifically designed to identify and seal these air gaps, ensuring a more comfortable and draft-free environment for your tenants.
The Benefits of Air Sealing
Improved soundproofing: Reduce outside noise and isolate units for a quieter indoor environment.
Lower indoor humidity: Achieve better moisture and humidity regulation.
Fewer pest infestations: Create a healthier indoor environment with fewer pests.
Improved indoor air quality: Less outside contaminants means healthier air.
Reduced risk of ice dams: Prevent ice dams from forming each winter.
Better overall comfort: Provide tenants with a more comfortable living space while reducing energy waste.
Insulation and Air Sealing: A Winning Combination
For maximum energy efficiency and comfort, insulation and air sealing go hand-in-hand. While air sealing eliminates air leakage, insulation enhances its effectiveness by reducing energy loss. Together, they create a comprehensive weatherization solution that can significantly improve the energy efficiency of your multi-family property.
