Measured Air
Service 06 · Blower Door Tests

Find the leaks before you fight them.

Your house is breathing through cracks you can't see, and on smoke days those cracks decide how bad it gets inside. A blower door turns 'drafty' into an exact number, then we trace the paths and rank what's worth sealing first.

'Drafty' becomes a number you can act on, with a ranked list of the leaks worth sealing first.

Why test for leakage

You can't seal what you can't find, and you shouldn't seal what doesn't matter.

Put a number on it

A blower door measures exactly how leaky a building is, so 'drafty' stops being a feeling and becomes a number you can act on.

Find the real paths

With the house depressurized, we find where air actually enters: rim joists, attic hatches, recessed lights, and leaky ducts.

Seal what counts

Not every leak is worth chasing. We rank them so your effort and budget go to the ones moving the most air.

What it reveals

The hidden paths moving air, dust, and smoke through your building.

  • Total leakage

    A whole-building number (ACH50 and CFM50) you can compare and track over time.

  • Entry paths

    Where outdoor air, smoke, and dust actually get in, room by room.

  • Duct leakage

    Air lost between the system and the rooms it was supposed to reach.

  • Pressure effects

    How exhaust fans and stack effect pull air around the house.

  • Comfort drafts

    The specific leaks behind the cold room and the hot corner.

  • Seal priorities

    A ranked list, so sealing dollars go to the leaks moving real air.

How the test works

Depressurize, measure, trace, then rank the fixes.

  1. Set up the door

    We mount a calibrated fan in an exterior doorway and depressurize the building to a standard test pressure.

  2. Measure the leakage

    We record the airflow needed to hold that pressure, which gives your ACH50 and CFM50 numbers.

  3. Find the paths

    We trace leaks with airflow and, where useful, thermal imaging, so you can see exactly where air sneaks in.

  4. Rank the fixes

    You get a prioritized sealing list tied to the leaks moving the most air, not a generic checklist.

Find the leaks, then seal what matters

Turn a drafty house into a number, and a number into a plan.

Get an exact leakage measurement, a map of where air really gets in, and a ranked sealing list so your effort goes where it counts.
