Blower door testing is a way to test the “leakiness” of your home. By depressurizing your home and measuring the rate at which air infiltrates through imperfections in the building envelope, we’re able to assess how much energy (and money) is escaping through air leaks, and how much you’re likely to save by fixing those leaks. As part of this process, we will inspect the house with a smoke stick to pinpoint potentially hidden air leaks making it much easier to address them when the time comes. We also offer blower door testing as an isolated service to test the effectiveness of improvements that have been made to a home, and to provide homeowners and contractors with a roadmap to further improve a home’s efficiency moving forward.
Blower Door Testing
Using Mar-flex 5000, we can waterproof any structure with an adhesive seamless barrier that coats your foundation with a high-quality membrane.
The spray application method allows for continuous insulation and an air sealing barrier on walls, roofs, in tight corners, and all contoured surfaces.
Made of 75-85% recycled paper, cellulose is the most environmentally friendly and efficient way to insulate your new or existing residential or commercial buildings.
Beyond energy efficiency, weāll work with you on a number of eco-friendly building improvements that help you qualify for certifications such as LEED for Homes or ENERGY STAR.
Made of up to 40% recycled materials, fiberglass is available as blown-in loose fill, rolls, or batts, and is one of the best ways to reduce your energy bills.
In a climate such as Virginiaās, radiant barriers or āfoil insulationā can be used in tandem with other materials to reduce cooling bills in the summer.
Weāll find the leaks and shortfalls of your current insulation, then provide a cost-effective plan that works for you and your project.
Optimizing your buildingās energy efficiency is one of the best investments you can make for comfort, lower bills, a reduced carbon footprint, and air quality.
Vented crawl spaces are no longer the way to go. Reduce excess moisture and prevent mold growth by isolating the crawl space from outside moisture.
From the lab test to the mold removal to prevention systems, our whole-home approach to air quality ensures comfort and safety for your family.
