Condensation, mold, or staining in the House?

Poor air leakage control in your home can be the cause of many unsightly, unpleasant and even unhealthy problems.

Leaks in and around windows, for example, can lead to condensation. This not only looks bad, the moisture can rust metal fittings causing the window mechanism to decay and eventually fail to operate. In some cases, it may bring in enough water to rot out the wooden window frame or the house framework itself.

Moist air, often laden with everything from cooking fumes to other pollutants, deposits these contaminants on its way through the cracks and leaks in your home. Sometimes you'll see the evidence as stains near the ceiling, sometimes as it travels through to the attic, the moisture will build up and cause mold.

This can have disastrous effects on both the deterioration of your largest investment, it can also impact the health of the occupants by introducing large amounts of mold spores that can lead to respiratory illnesses. There are currently about 11,000 cases of claims of damage by mold in the U S courts today!
