Drafts Explained: Their Main Sources & Practical

Wednesday, December 16th, 2015 by Chris Zorzy

Energy.gov recommends homeowners to conduct a personal inspection this cold season to eliminate drafts. You can start with your exterior corners, outdoor water faucets, and the area where your siding and chimneys meet. Drafts could also come from your doors, windows, walls, and roof.

What are Drafts and Where do they Come From?

Do you ever wonder where air leaks came from? Well, there are few possible sources, but the main culprit is your old windows. As the top Danvers roofing contractor, A&A Services has worked with hundreds of drafty homes. We can tell if one is vulnerable to drafts just by looking at the windows. It could be your window’s worn-out seals or weatherstripping. If you suspect your windows are letting in chilly drafts, inspect them yourself.

With the back of your hand, feel the edges of your windows and follow the trail of air leaks. Old and broken windows tend to develop this problem over timeIt’s important to check your windows every now and then. Otherwise, your energy bill could increase and your home could feel colder than usual this winter. There are other sources of drafts, including your attic, doors, walls, fireplace, and basement.

“I chose A&A Services for a roof replacement. Rick came out to provide the initial estimate and from then on guided me through the whole process. He was great to work with. No pressure at any time and I was notified every step of the way. No surprises. Aurel and the roofing crew were great too! My roof looks beautiful and more importantly, my house is dry inside! Highly recommend!!”
