Attic Air Sealing in Broward County, FL
The step most companies skip. We seal the gaps before we blow the insulation — because insulation can't stop air, and your ceiling is full of holes you can't see.
Your Ceiling Is Leakier Than You Think
Sealing in progress — every gap along the framing gets closed before insulation goes over it.
Every recessed light, ceiling fan box, plumbing pipe, wiring hole, and interior wall top is a small open window between your cooled rooms and your 130° attic. Individually they're tiny; together, a typical Broward home's ceiling leaks like a fully open window. Cooled air rises out through them all day, and attic heat pushes down through the same paths. Blown-in insulation slows heat moving through material — but it does not stop air moving through holes. That's what sealing is for.
- Gaps sealed with fire-rated caulk and foam around accessible fixtures, pipes, and top plates
- Done before insulation goes in — the only time it's physically possible to do it right
- Included in every insulation quote — this is part of the job, not an upsell
- Baffles installed at soffits so your attic keeps breathing the way it's designed to
Why It's "Where the Savings Hide"
ENERGY STAR’s widely-cited ~15% savings figure (on heating and cooling costs) is for air sealing plus insulation — not insulation alone. Skipping the sealing step is how two identical-looking jobs end up with different electric bills. It's also why we treat sealing as part of installation rather than a separate line item: doing it later means digging through fresh insulation to reach the ceiling, which nobody ever actually does. One visit, right order: seal, then blow, then see what the whole job costs.
