What did production framing leave open?
The same bypasses repeat across Centennial because the same framing crews built entire subdivisions. What we find, by frequency:

The Brands Behind Every Grizzly Install
We don’t install mystery material. Every Arvada project uses products from the industry’s most trusted manufacturers.
01THE PROBLEM
Your Subdivision Shares Floor Plans. It Shares Leaks Too.
When one framing crew builds three hundred houses, the shortcuts repeat three hundred times. The fireplace chase that vents your living room into the attic exists in every model like yours from Southglenn to Smoky Hill. The upside: we know exactly where to look, and the fixes go fast.
AThe fireplace chase: a highway to the attic
Eighties fireplace surrounds hide framed chases running open from basement to roof deck. Capping one with rigid blocking and fire-rated sealant is often the single largest leak fix available in a Centennial home.
BDropped soffits leaking around the kitchen
The lowered ceilings over cabinets and tubs were framed before drywall, leaving their tops open to the attic. Insulation sags into the void and conditioned air pours out, invisible from below, obvious from above.
CCan-light fields across every ceiling
Builder-grade recessed cans from the era leak like open vents, and Centennial ceilings carry them by the dozen. Airtight, insulation-rated covers cap each one without touching your fixtures or trim.
DThe whole-house fan that never closes right
Many 70s–90s Centennial homes carry whole-house fans whose louvers seal poorly for eight months a year. An insulated seasonal cover turns the house’s biggest single hole into a managed feature.
02THE FIX
Seal Alone, or Seal-Then-Top? The Audit Decides.
Decent insulation over open bypasses still wastes money; thin insulation over open bypasses wastes it twice. Here is the honest comparison:
03WHAT TO EXPECT
We Know These Floor Plans by Heart.
How a Centennial sealing visit runs:
Your floor plan tells us where the chases and soffits hide before we climb; the attic pass confirms and photographs each one into your audit list.
Existing insulation gets pulled aside at every target and laid back after sealing, nothing leaves the attic that does not need to.
Rigid blocking with fire-rated sealant on chases, soffit tops closed, airtight covers on every can, foam and caulk on the rest.
The whole-house fan gets an insulated seasonal cover and the hatch gets gasket, insulation, and latch, the two big holes, managed.
Every sealed point photographed and listed by location and method, a completion ledger that stays with the house.

04COST & SAVINGS
What Air Sealing Costs in Centennial
The cheapest half-day a builder-era home can spend on itself. Four drivers, itemized after a free audit.
Bypass count
Chases, soffits, and can fields to close
Fan & hatch scope
Seasonal covers and rebuild needs
Attic access
Clearance and how buried the targets are
Flue detailing
Fire-rated work wherever heat is involved
Three ways the net cost drops
Xcel Energy rebates
Air sealing is a named rebate measure, and pairing it with a top-off stacks the payout.
Federal 25C tax credit
30% of qualifying insulation costs, up to $1,200 per year, under the Inflation Reduction Act.
The multiplier
Sealing makes the insulation you already own perform at its rated value, an upgrade to a purchase you already made.

"They found our Knolls house’s fireplace chase wide open to the attic, thirty-nine years of heated air going straight up. Sealed it and twenty-two other spots before lunch. The living room stopped needing the space heater that same week."

05QUESTIONS
Air Sealing in Centennial, Answered Straight
Any framed opening that connects living space to the attic: fireplace chases, dropped soffits, duct chases, can lights, fan housings. Production builders left them open because drywall hid them and code did not ask. Sealing them restores what the insulation was supposed to do all along.
It is the least expensive weatherization job, priced by bypass count, fan and hatch scope, access, and flue detailing. Since Centennial floor plans repeat, our estimates are unusually precise, and everything appears as written line items after the free audit.
Almost certainly because the bypasses beneath were never sealed. Blowing insulation over an open chase insulates the leak, not the house. Sealing retroactively fixes the earlier project, and the audit will show you exactly what was missed.
With the right materials, absolutely, and only with them. Metal flashing and fire-rated sealant maintain clearances at hot flues; expanding foam never touches them on our jobs. Fire-safe detailing is the whole discipline of chase work.
Half a day for most Centennial homes; large two-stories with heavy can fields may run a full day. Quiet attic work, no interior disruption, you can work from home through it.
Noticeably. The same bypasses that leak heat upward in January pull superheated attic air toward the ceiling in July. Sealing cuts both directions of loss, AC runtime drops along with the furnace’s.
