Attic Encapsulation

Air Loss Through the Attic

Does the upper areas of your home always feel a little drafty? No matter how much you crank up the heat you always wonder when you will reach your comfort level. You may be losing a lot of air through leaky ducts or ceiling fittings in your attic.

Mold & Moisture Problems

This loss of air can lead to an increase in heating and cooling demand. It can also pull humid indoor air up into the attic, creating the perfect environment for moisture problems such as condensation and mold. This mold can invade your home and lead to headaches, allergy flare-ups, respiratory problems, and even more serious health issues — which can lead to expensive hospital visits down the road.

How do you fix these problems?

Through attic encapsulation. Encapsulating the attic involves insulating it like the rest of your house. Our technicians at Southern Home Performance spray an expanding foam sealant into all the cracks and crevices in the walls and ceilings, ensuring that the outside elements (temperature and moisture) can’t get in.
