Sealing uncontrolled air leaks helps keep pollutants, allergens and moisture from entering your living space. Once leaks are sealed, you can focus on controlled ventilation, which improves indoor air quality.
I bring a calibrated blower door fan, an adjustable door frame with a nylon panel and digital pressure gauges. The equipment measures airflow and pressure differences to calculate how leaky your home is.

Blower door test scores are expressed in air changes per hour at 50 Pascals (ACH50). A lower number means your home is tighter and more energy efficient. For example, 3 ACH50 is typical for new homes; higher scores indicate more leakage and opportunities to seal gaps and improve comfort and efficiency.
No need to panic. The team will show you where the air leaks are, explain how serious they are, suggest fixes and often offer a discounted re‑test once repairs are made.
