Start working on the outside of your home in the back. By the time you get to the front
and inside, you’ll be a pro!
Caulk around the following areas on your home’s exterior:
top of the concrete foundation and connects to the floor joists.
The outside edges of window and door frames. Don’t forget basement windows and
doors.
Any opening through the envelope of your house, including water spigots, electrical
outlets, air conditioner hoses, dryer vents and gas and water pipes. Be careful not to
touch or move pipes and wires.
If you find a large hole or crack, use expanding foam. A small squirt is usually enough
to seal the opening – too much can damage the surrounding materials. Don’t use
expanding foam around any electrical equipment.
If you have storm windows, use them. If you don’t, install plastic window film to the
outside of windows, especially those facing north. The product has been much-
improved over the past few years, with better visibility and stronger adhesive tape.
