Insulation & Air Sealing in Fairview, OR

Insulation without air sealing is like wearing a warm coat full of holes. Fairview grew from a small town of a few hundred people into a city of over 10,000 largely during the second half of the 20th century, so a lot of the housing stock dates to a similar era and can share similar weak points in the building envelope. A house can look well maintained on the outside while still losing a lot of heat through gaps that were never sealed in the first place.

What that means day to day: rooms that never quite match the thermostat, drafts around older windows and doors, and a heating system working harder than it should. Adding insulation without addressing air sealing underneath it rarely solves the problem on its own. We treat the two as one job because that’s how building science works.
