A Sealed Home Is a Happy Home | Koala Insulation of North Houston

We can experience all kinds of weather here in the Magnolia community, and for the most part, we are grateful for that. However, sometimes it can be troublesome for our homes to navigate drastic temperature changes or fluctuations if there is an underlying issue going on behind the scenes.

Air leaks and drafts can wreak havoc in our homes no matter what season it is, which is why air sealing against these issues is so important for the health and safety of your household. We explain why air sealing is so important in our latest blog below.

What Is Air Sealing?

In order for your home and all of its systems to operate smoothly, air needs to travel throughout your house in a controlled manner. It needs to be conditioned, introduced and circulated through your home in just the right way for each room to be comfortable and cozy.

If you have any sort of gaps in your home or are struggling with drafts, this process can be disrupted pretty significantly.

A single draft in your home will introduce unconditioned air (hot in the summer and cold in the winter), which will travel uncontrolled throughout your home and can impact your thermostat and the comfort of your rooms as your house battles to combat the sudden imbalance.

The process of air sealing stops this! We use caulk, spray foam and other sealants and apply them to the gaps and drafty spots around your home to stop this flow of air.

Preventing Energy Loss

If your home is struggling to control your air transfer, chances are that your house is also suffering from a serious energy loss problem. Drafts will introduce uncomfortable air into your home that your HVAC system will have to correct as it moves through your vents, which means that it will have to work harder than it should to pump out comfortable air throughout your household. By sealing up these drafts and gaps, your HVAC system will be able to control the kind of air that is in your home and it will be able to circulate throughout your house in a more reliable manner. That is not only beneficial for your comfort, but it is also helpful for your wallet in the long-term!

Stopping a Pest Problem

Unconditioned air isn’t the only issue that drafts and air leaks cause. If you have gaps or cracks in your home or along your roofline, chances are that the neighborhood squirrels, mice and bugs know about them and will start constructing their 2024 home inside your attic or in your walls.

Air sealing can stop this problem right at the source! Once the pests have been removed by a pest company, we can come in and seal up your attic space to prevent them from coming back in. A pest-free home means a cleaner and healthier home for everyone under your roof. Dealing with drafts? Koala Insulation of North Houston can help
