Blower Door Testing Check For Home Air Leaks. Leaky Homes Can Cause The Following Problems:

• High Moisture & Humidity: In the summer, warm humid air leaks into your crawl space which causes high moisture & humidity. This can create issues such as mold or growth in the crawl space or home which can vastly decrease the air quality & health of a home.
• Uncomfortable, Hot, or Cold Rooms: Hot air in the summer or cold air in the winter that leaks inside your home can create rooms that feel uncomfortable.
• Excessive Dust in Home: Air leaks allow dust, dander and pollutants from the outside air enter your home and make it hard to escape.
• Pest & Bug Issues: Hidden holes and cracks are the perfect entrance to your home for pests and bugs. Not only can air leaks allow dirty air inside, but also can allow unwanted pests.
• Musty Smell & Odors: Pollutants, moisture, & dander that get trapped in the home can cause a constant odor in your home.
• Cold Floors: In the winter, cold air leaks in the crawl which can cause cold floors and cold rooms.
• High Power Bills: Heat will always flow to cooler air. Ever wonder why your second or third floors in your home are warmer than the lower? Warm air is lighter than cold air therefore, it will rise. During the cold months, the warm air that your furnace pushes out, rises, and goes into the attic. The warm air then escapes through cracks in the attic. Then, the cold air also comes into the cracks making it harder to control the temperature. During the summer months, the opposite will happen. Warm air seeps into the cracks and the cool conditioned air from your air conditioner seeps out. This effect called the “stack effect” causes your air conditioner and furnace to work in overdrive and run much longer to keep it warm or cool, which increases your power bill.
