Stopping Attic Air Leaks with a David Lewis Hatch Cover in Neptune Township, NJ
Challenge
Most air leakage—typically between 15% and 35%—originates in the attic. For example, this attic pull-down stairs in Neptune Township, NJ have visible gaps around the framing, allowing conditioned air to escape through the attic entrance. Without proper air sealing and insulation, this area drives up energy costs and reduces overall comfort for the homeowner.
Solution
We help homeowners seal their attics to reduce energy costs and improve comfort. By using foam sealant to close gaps and seams in the attic framing—especially around the entrance—we prevent air from leaking into the attic. Adding weather stripping around the attic opening allows the David Lewis Hatch Cover to form a tight, secure seal with no leakage points. As a result, this homeowner now has a properly sealed attic entrance, contributing to a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
