Don't Be a Draft Dodger – Seal Instead
At some point we've all felt it: Older and historic homes can be drafty. Luckily, there are easy ways to detect and seal holes and gaps throughout your home. Take advantage of the next cold and/or windy day by going hunting for draft-causing leaks and holes. Consider the smoke test: Use a lit incense stick and note where the smoke travels. If it goes horizontal, you've probably located a source of a leak. Know that the primary culprits are usually ductwork and holes in the attic, around pipes, and at electrical outlets. For even better draft prevention, use weatherstripping along doors and windows to block out the cold and to form tight fitting bonds.
