If your home feels drafty in winter, struggles to stay cool in summer, or has rooms that always seem a few degrees off — poor air sealing could be the reason. Learn why Air Sealing Your Home matters.
Most homes, especially older ones, were never designed to be truly airtight. Behind the walls, tiny gaps and cracks around outlets, framing joints, and plumbing penetrations allow conditioned air to leak out and outdoor air to sneak in. The result? Higher energy bills, uneven comfort, and unnecessary strain on your HVAC system.
🔎 What Is Air Sealing?
Air sealing is the process of closing up those hidden gaps and leaks in your home’s building envelope — particularly in exterior walls, attics, and around doors and windows. While insulation slows the movement of heat, air sealing stops the flow of air. For maximum energy efficiency and comfort, you really need both.
💡 The Benefits of Proper Air Sealing
Here’s what you can expect when your home is properly sealed:
✅ Lower Energy Bills
When your HVAC system isn’t constantly fighting outside air sneaking in, it doesn’t have to work as hard — saving you money month after month.
✅ More Comfortable Rooms
Say goodbye to hot and cold spots. Air sealing helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home, especially in rooms above garages or near exterior walls.
✅ Improved Indoor Air Quality
By sealing gaps where dust, allergens, and outdoor pollutants can enter, your home’s air stays cleaner — especially important for families with allergies.
✅ Reduced Drafts and Noise
Fewer gaps means fewer drafts. And because air sealing also helps block sound transmission, many homeowners report noticeably quieter rooms after sealing.
🛠️ How Injection Foam Helps Seal Your Home Airtight
At DFW Foam Pros LLC, we specialize in injection foam insulation — one of the most effective ways to seal wall cavities in existing homes without demolition.
We drill small 2-inch holes between wall studs and inject high-performance foam that expands to fill every gap, crack, and void. It seals off air pathways that traditional insulation (like fiberglass batts) can’t touch.
And here’s the best part: this can be done in finished walls — no need to tear out drywall.
🎯 Where Should You Air Seal?
While every home is different, some of the most common problem areas include:
- Exterior walls (especially uninsulated ones)
- Attached garages
- Attics and top plates
- Around electrical outlets and light switches
- Gaps around plumbing and HVAC runs
Not sure where your home is leaking air? We offer free consultations to help identify problem spots and recommend the right solution.
