Seal and Insulate

Gaps and cracks around windows, door frames, electrical outlets or plumbing fixtures may seem small, but if you've got enough of them, they can add up. The gaps and cracks in an average home can be sealed with up to four tubes of waterproof caulk and insulation. Sealing gaps and cracks from air leaks costs a little, but can save a lot of time and money.

Project Time: Approximately 2 hours

Top reasons to seal your home.

  1. Reduce Energy Costs - Air leaking through tiny holes and cracks accounts for up to 20 percent of the energy used to heat and cool a typical home. The gaps and cracks in an average home can be sealed with up to four tubes of waterproof caulk and insulation.

  2. Prevent Water Damage - Water leakage from rain, ice or snow through cracks and gaps, can cause water damage to the interior or exterior of your home.

  3. Prevent Unwanted Mold - Improperly sealed sinks, faucets, bathtubs and other water sources can be a breeding ground for mold growth, causing an unpleasant appearance as well as health risks and odors. Use a waterproof caulk (Silicone with BioSeal*) to properly treat mold growth on caulk. Unproperly treated mold can spread throughout your home and even weaken the home's infrastructure in extreme cases.

  4. Avoid Allergens - Proper sealing means there are fewer holes for pollen, dust and pollution to infiltrate the house, reducing your risk of allergies.

  5. Breathe Easy - Proper sealing helps keep indoor air clean. Mild to moderate levels of household mold can exacerbate asthma or cause flu-like symptoms and skin rashes.

  6. Prevent Air Leaks - Air leaking through gaps and cracks in a home can add up to as much airflow as an open window.

  7. Seal Out Bugs in the Home - Water bugs, mites, ants and other pests can find their way into your home through small holes.

  8. Keeping Your Home Quiet - Proper sealing helps reduce outside noise, making your home quiet and cozy.

  9. Maintain Proper Humidity Levels - Air leaks in the home allow warm humid air to escape, drawing in drier air and changing the humidity levels in the home. Maintaining proper humidity levels protects your furniture and home from drying out.
