Cold air from the basement of this townhome near Mt. Hope had a clear pathway up to the attic, making the bedroom wall cold to the touch. By sealing off the airflow at the basement and attic, we can keep the warm air in the house where it belongs.
Where's the humidity coming from? Some of it evaporates out of the sump pump crock. Simply investing in a sump cover can make a difference.
This three-season sunroom in Greece, NY wasn't comfortable for a full three seasons! We insulated, air-sealed, and replaced the leaky windows with new Sunrise windows.
Duct chases starting in the basement can worsen the "Stack Effect" in your home, pulling cold basement air up into your walls, and pulling warm air from your walls up into the attic. For this reason we proceeded to seal around all air ducts.
The ductwork in this Brighton home runs through the cold attic. By the time the heated air reached the bedrooms, it was luke-warm at best. The walls and floors were cold, and the bedrooms were drafty.
We insulated the attic and the ducts. We sealed the duct and stopped the drafts, making the bedrooms cozy, warm, and energy efficient.
