Stop Those Leaks! Walls
Check for holes or cracks around walls, ceilings, windows, doors, light and plumbing fixtures, switches and electrical outlets that can leak air into or out of your home. Sealing air leaks would be easy if all leaks were direct leaks. You could just look for daylight shinning through the building shell. Closing up these gaps should certainly be a priority as sealing all the visible cracks in the building's interior and exterior walls will definitely slow air leakage, start with sealing large air leaks at the buildings surfaces-around doors, windows and where two walls meet. Then move onto plugging leaks around plumbing and wiring.
Using caulk to stop those leaks! Caulking can stop both air leakage and water leakage. Caulk is applied with a caulking gun. It is applied to seal joints and cracks that measure 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch wide. Caulk is sold in a wide variety of formulations. Read the directions carefully looking for the right match to your specific needs.
