Why Denver Homeowners Trust Grizzly

Air sealing is the step most contractors skip, and it is the reason an insulated attic can still feel drafty. Warm air rises and escapes through dozens of small gaps in your attic floor: around recessed lights, top plates, plumbing and wiring penetrations, and the attic hatch. At Denver’s altitude this stack effect is even stronger. We find and seal every one of those leaks so your insulation can finally do its job, your furnace gets a break, and your rooms stay comfortable.

Signs Your Attic Is Leaking Air

Many insulation and energy-efficiency issues develop gradually, making them easy to overlook. If you’re experiencing any of the signs below, your property may benefit from a professional inspection.

High Energy Bills

If heating and cooling costs continue to rise, insufficient insulation or hidden air leaks may be forcing your HVAC system to work harder than necessary.

Drafts & Air Leaks

Noticeable drafts around doors, windows, attics, or crawl spaces can lead to energy loss and reduced indoor comfort.

Pest Activity or Contaminated Insulation

Rodents and pests can damage insulation, leave contaminants behind, and reduce its effectiveness over time.

Uncomfortable Attic or Crawl Space Conditions

Extreme temperatures, humidity, or poor ventilation in these areas can affect the comfort and efficiency of the entire building.

Uneven Room Temperatures

Hot and cold spots throughout your property often indicate inadequate insulation coverage or areas where conditioned air is escaping.

Old or Damaged Insulation

Settled, compressed, wet, or deteriorated insulation may no longer provide the protection your property needs.

Moisture, Humidity, or Mold Concerns

Excess moisture in attics or crawl spaces can contribute to mold growth, structural issues, and poor indoor air quality.

Aging Commercial or Residential Buildings

Older properties often lack modern insulation standards and may be missing key energy-saving improvements.

Where Your Attic Is Leaking Air

Many insulation and energy-efficiency issues develop gradually, making them easy to overlook.
If you’re experiencing any of the signs below, your property may benefit from a professional inspection.

Recessed Can Lights

Older recessed lights are the number one air leak in most Denver homes built before 2000. We cover and seal them with airtight, fire-rated covers.

Top Plates & Wall Gaps

The seams where interior and exterior walls meet the attic floor leak constant air. We seal them along every top plate.

Plumbing & Wiring Penetrations

Every pipe, vent stack, and wire that passes into the attic leaves a gap. We seal each penetration tight.

Attic Hatch & Pull-Down Stairs

The attic access is often the single biggest leak in the house. We weatherstrip and insulate the hatch or stair cover.

Questions Homeowners Ask Us Most

Usually, yes. Insulation slows heat transfer, but it does not stop air from leaking through the gaps around it. Without air sealing, warm air rises right past your insulation and escapes through the attic. Sealing first is what makes the insulation you already have actually perform.

Always seal first. Air sealing has to happen on a clean attic floor where we can see and reach every penetration. Once insulation is blown in, those leaks are buried and much harder to find. Sealing first and then insulating is the only order that works, which is why we handle both in the right sequence.

Cost depends on the size of your attic and how many leak points need sealing. Air sealing is usually far less expensive than homeowners expect, and it is one of the highest-return upgrades you can make because it cuts energy loss right away. We give a free, itemized estimate, and Xcel rebates often offset part of the cost.

It helps a lot. Ice dams form when warm air leaks into the attic, melts the snow on the roof, and the runoff refreezes at the cold eaves. By sealing the leaks that let heat into the attic in the first place, air sealing and proper insulation keep the roof deck colder and reduce ice dams.

You can seal a few obvious gaps, but the leaks that matter most, recessed lights, top plates, and hidden penetrations, are hard to find and call for fire-rated materials and proper technique. A professional assessment finds the leaks you cannot see and seals them safely, which is what delivers the real energy savings.

For most Denver homes, yes. Air sealing is one of the lowest-cost, highest-return energy upgrades because it stops the constant air leakage that makes your furnace work overtime. Paired with insulation, homeowners usually notice fewer drafts and a real drop in energy bills, and Xcel rebates often help cover the cost.
