The Stack Effect Replaces Good Air With Bad Air

What is the "Stack Effect"? Convection causes the warmest air (also the lightest air) in your home to rise, which is why the greatest amount of air leakage is into the attic-- through dozens and dozens of cracks and openings. With air leaking out the top of the house, an equal amount of air is going to come in through openings near the foundation of the home. Interior air leaks out the top, causing exterior air to enter at the bottom of the home. This process is otherwise known as the stack effect.

Leaks Cost You Money - If and when your home leaks air, you're losing air that you just paid to heat, cool, and/or dehumidify, replacing it with outside air that also needs to be heated and cooled. Air leaks, whether small or large, waste energy and make it more costly to keep your house comfortable everyday.

Advice From The Energy Experts

Dirt stains within your fiberglass information is a clear sign that your home is leaking air. These stains show that the existing insulation is actually filtering the air leakage, trapping both dirt and dust on its passageway. Contact us if you see dirt-stained insulation in your home, our energy experts will identify the location of the air leaks and repair those gaps and cracks.

Joints = Leaks - Your house is made from thousands of parts and pieces, from nails and 2x4s to window casing, electrical wire and drywall panels. Small gaps and cracks occur whenever one part of your home joins another.

Joints that are tight don't stay that way - Before a house is completely built, wood starts to shrink, materials expand and contract at different rates, and connections work loose. Many of these cracks and gaps become leakage points that need to be sealed in order to save energy.

Contractors Cause Air Leaks

When your house is constructed, air leaks are unintentionally built into the construction process of your home. As soon as the framing crew is finished nailing together all the joists, studs, rafters, beams and sheathing that make up the house shell, other workers come in to start cutting it apart.

Plumbers, electricians, and HVAC contractors use drills to create channels (holes) for their water lines, wires, and air ducts that need to be run throughout the home. Most of these resulting holes around the channels don't compromise the strength of your home but create hundreds of leakage points that can allow inside conditioned air out and exterior air to leak inside your home.

Gaps and cracks in your home can be as small as the ones found around an electrical outlet or as large as the ones in your floors created by plumbers for piping. Gaps can even be long created when a cantilever soffit does not meet the exterior wall in an airtight connection.

Air Sealing Priorities

As a result of homes being built with hundreds of leakage points throughout the building envelope, there are many vulnerable areas of your home where heat can leak into the attic and ultimately out of your house. If and when insulation is installed before air sealing first, air will leak through any crack or gap it finds and through the thermal resistance of the existing insulation. On top of all that, many air leaks within a home are buried underneath existing insulation, making them hard to find and reach.

Air sealing should always be applied first before installing any insulation. Expediant Environmental Solutions, LLC is your professional energy saving company offering both air sealing and insulation services.

Air Sealing Improves Home Comfort and Home Energy Efficiency

The process of air sealing is a home improvement solution that seals air leaks appearing within a home's building envelope. When air sealing is applied to a home, it improves the comfort, the overall energy efficiency of the home, while reducing monthly utility bills.

The process of finding and sealing air leaks is much easier said than done. Expediant Environmental Solutions, LLC knows where to look for leaks, utilizing professional equipment such as an "infiltrometer" also known as a blower door fan. This fan is placed in the home's main entrance-way to depressurize the house or suck air from the interior. Meanwhile, one of our technicians will move room to room throughout the home to detect and diagnose existing air leaks.

Leaks be gone! Our company recommends utilizing a two-part foam for most air sealing tasks within the home. The two-part mixture leaves the nozzle of the gun in liquid form, rapidly expanding to fill and adhere inside cracks and openings. As the foam cures, it will create a lifetime barrier that is airtight.
