Air Sealing Services in Marietta, GA
Seal Air Leaks & Boost Efficiency with Professional Air Sealing
Even the best insulation can’t perform properly if air is leaking through gaps, cracks, or penetrations in your home’s structure. At Arctic Shield Insulation, we offer expert air sealing services that stop uncontrolled airflow and dramatically improve comfort, indoor air quality, and energy savings—especially when paired with attic insulation upgrades.
What Is Air Sealing?
Air sealing is the process of identifying and closing up air leaks throughout the home’s thermal envelope. These leaks are typically found around:
Gaps between drywall and framing
Plumbing and wiring penetrations
HVAC cutouts and recessed lighting
Attic access points and drop-down doors
Rim joists, sill plates, and wall tops
Basement or crawlspace penetrations
Left unsealed, these areas allow conditioned air to escape and outdoor air (along with dust, pollen, and humidity) to enter—leading to drafts, uneven temperatures, and high energy bills.
Benefits of Air Sealing Your Home
Lower Heating & Cooling Bills: By stopping air leaks, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard—leading to significant energy savings year-round.
Improved Indoor Comfort: Say goodbye to hot and cold spots, drafty rooms, and temperature swings throughout the day.
Healthier Air Quality: Air sealing helps keep out outdoor pollutants, allergens, moisture, and pests that commonly enter through unsealed gaps.
Maximized Insulation Performance: Insulation works best in a sealed environment. Air sealing prevents conditioned air from bypassing insulation, increasing its effectiveness.
Increased Home Value & Code Compliance: Air sealing improves your home’s energy rating and can help meet modern building code standards—especially important when selling or remodeling.
Our Process: Professional Whole-Home Air Sealing
We use a combination of building science and professional-grade materials to ensure your home is thoroughly sealed.
Inspection & Diagnostic Testing: We begin with a detailed inspection of your attic, walls, and mechanical penetrations. Infrared imaging may be used to pinpoint leaks.
Attic Floor Sealing: We seal all visible gaps and cracks in the attic floor, including areas around light fixtures, HVAC ductwork, plumbing pipes, electrical wiring, and top plates. Spray foam or caulking is used based on the size and location of each opening.
Attic Door & Hatch Covers: A major source of energy loss is often the attic access. We install insulated, airtight attic door covers to prevent drafts and keep your attic properly sealed from the living space below.
Sealing Wall and Floor Penetrations: Throughout the rest of the home, we seal around utility penetrations, outlet boxes, and rim joists—common sources of air infiltration.
