What To Do About Attic Air Leaks

Any attic air leaks pose a threat to the whole home's comfort, energy efficiency, and air quality. Leaks are a major source of heat loss and heat gain in any home. And, if you live in the Bay Area, the combination of a leaky home or attic and inadequate venting and filtration affects indoor air quality too.

However, this access to airflow doesn’t exist as a single hole. Instead, it is the complication of a series of small openings and leaks that all add up to a significant heat gain and loss source, depending on the season.
