Hidden gaps in your attic and walls leak heat all winter. Professional air sealing finds and closes them - so your Kokomo home holds its temperature the way it should.
Hidden gaps in your attic and walls leak heat all winter. Professional air sealing finds and closes them - so your Kokomo home holds its temperature the way it should.
Air sealing in Kokomo closes the gaps, cracks, and hidden openings where outside air sneaks into your home and conditioned air leaks out - most jobs take one to two days, work happens in the attic and crawl space, and your living areas stay undisturbed throughout. The result is a home that holds its temperature steadily instead of making your furnace run almost constantly to keep up.
Most people assume their heating problem is the windows or the doors. In reality, the biggest leaks are almost always in the attic - around recessed lights, plumbing pipes, and the tops of interior walls where warm air escapes like a chimney. For Kokomo homes built before 1980, these gaps have likely never been addressed, and the leakage is substantial. Air sealing works best when combined with attic air sealing as a targeted treatment for the single biggest source of heat loss in most homes.
Done correctly, air sealing lasts for decades without needing repeat work. Most homeowners notice the difference in comfort within the first cold snap after the job is complete. Call us at (765) 776-9811 or request a free estimate and we'll assess your home at no charge.
If your gas or electric bills jump dramatically during Kokomo's coldest months even when your thermostat stays the same, your home is losing heat faster than it should. A well-sealed home holds its temperature more steadily, so the furnace doesn't have to run as often. If your bills feel out of proportion to the weather, air leakage is one of the first things worth investigating.
If you walk into a bedroom or a back room in January and it feels like a different climate, that room likely has more air leakage than others. You might feel a faint draft near the baseboards, around window frames, or along exterior walls - especially in older Kokomo homes where the framing has settled over decades.
Hold your hand near an electrical outlet on an outside-facing wall on a cold, windy day. If you feel cool air coming through, that outlet is connected to a gap that goes all the way to the outside. This is very common in homes built before the 1980s and is one of the easiest signs to check yourself without any tools.
Condensation on attic framing, a musty smell when you open the crawl space hatch, or dark staining on wood surfaces are signs that moisture-laden air has been moving through spaces it should not reach. Kokomo's humid summers mean this kind of air movement causes real damage over time, and air sealing addresses the root cause.
We start every job with an in-home assessment and, where appropriate, a blower door test that measures exactly how leaky your home is before we touch anything. That gives us a baseline and tells us where to focus - the attic floor, the crawl space ceiling, plumbing and wiring penetrations, recessed lights, and the tops of interior walls. We use foam and caulk to seal each opening systematically, working from the top of the house down. For attic-specific work, we also offer dedicated attic air sealing as a targeted service for homeowners who know that's where their biggest losses are.
Air sealing works best alongside basement insulation because the basement rim joist is often one of the leakiest spots in an older home - and sealing it at the same time makes the whole job more effective. After we finish, we run a follow-up blower door test to confirm the leakage rate actually dropped. That before-and-after number is your proof that the work was done right, not just that work was done. We then walk you through the results in plain language before the crew leaves.
Best for homeowners who want a comprehensive treatment of the attic, walls, and crawl space in one project.
Best for homes where the attic is the primary source of heat loss and a targeted approach makes more sense.
Best for homes where cold floors and moisture movement through the crawl space are the main concern.
Kokomo sits in north-central Indiana, where average January lows regularly drop into the single digits and wind chills push well below zero. That kind of cold creates a strong stack effect - warm air inside your home rises and escapes through every gap it can find at the top of the house, pulling cold outdoor air in at the bottom. For Kokomo homeowners, this means air leaks are not just a comfort issue but a direct cause of high winter heating bills and cold floors. Kokomo's residential neighborhoods include a significant number of homes built from the 1940s through the 1970s, when energy efficiency was not a priority in construction and gaps around pipes, wiring, and framing were simply left open. We serve homeowners dealing with these exact conditions in Kokomo and the surrounding area.
Kokomo summers are warm and humid, and that moisture causes problems too. When warm, moist outdoor air moves freely through your attic and crawl space, it can condense on wood surfaces and create conditions where mold and rot develop over time. Air sealing protects against that moisture movement just as much as it protects against winter cold. Homeowners in Noblesville and Marion face the same climate conditions, and we serve all of these communities. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that air sealing combined with insulation can cut heating and cooling costs measurably - and in a city with Kokomo's winters, that impact is very real.
We'll ask a few basic questions - your address, the age of your home, and what comfort issues you've noticed. We reply within 1 business day and schedule a free in-home estimate that works with your schedule.
Before any work begins, we walk through your attic, crawl space, and basement looking for where air moves most freely. We use a blower door test to measure exactly how leaky your home is and pinpoint the worst spots, so we seal what matters most rather than guessing.
You receive a written estimate explaining what we found, what we plan to do, and what it will cost. We'll also flag any Indiana utility rebates or federal tax credits that may apply to your project - a good contractor looks out for your wallet, not just the job.
The crew seals every gap identified during the assessment using foam and caulk. When the work is done, we run the blower door test again to confirm the leakage rate dropped. We walk you through the before-and-after numbers so you have real proof the job worked.

(765) 776-9811Before we seal anything, we measure your home's air leakage with a blower door test. After we finish, we test again. That before-and-after number is your proof the work made a difference. A contractor who doesn't test can't show you what they actually accomplished.
We serve Kokomo and all 12 surrounding communities with the same standards on every job. Whether you're in the older neighborhoods near downtown or a newer subdivision on the south side, you get the same systematic assessment and the same post-work verification.
Most of our jobs are in Kokomo homes built before 1970 - the exact era when air sealing was never done and leakage is worst. We know where the gaps are in these homes before we even open the attic hatch, which makes the assessment faster and the sealing more thorough.
The Building Performance Institute sets the professional standard for home energy work including air sealing. We follow that systematic approach - not a spot-treatment of obvious gaps. Homeowners who have had other contractors out and still have drafty rooms know the difference between thorough and partial.
Air sealing is work you pay for once and benefit from for decades. Hiring someone who tests their results and explains what they found is the only way to know you got what you paid for.
The Building Performance Institute and the ENERGY STAR Seal and Insulate program are authoritative resources if you want to learn more about what good air sealing looks like.
Insulating the rim joist and basement walls at the same time as air sealing compounds the energy savings significantly.
