Leaky Ceiling Box in Marlboro, NJ

We are in the homeowner’s attic looking at a leaky ceiling box in Marlboro, NJ. The ceiling box is anchored to the attic floor. A flexible truck connects to the end of it while the other end of the flexible trunk connects to the ducting system. Air passes through the trunk and into the ceiling box. Once air enters the ceiling box it passes through the ceiling vent into the room below. Unfortunately this ceiling box was never air sealed. Looking at the fiberglass insulation around the ceiling box we can tell air is leaking into the attic because of the dirt built up in the fiberglass. This also means dirt and fiberglass particulates are contaminating the rooms below potentially creating harmful or hazardous air to breath. Air the owner is paying for is leaking into the attic costing the owner more money to heat or cool their home. To solve this issue we use orange ZypFoam sealant and air sealed the seams to prevent air from leaking into the attic.

This homeowner now has a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
