Pure Eco includes air sealing as part of our attic insulation projects and also offers it as a standalone service for Burbank homeowners.
Insulation slows heat transfer while air sealing stops air movement. Both matter, and in most Burbank homes, both are needed. A home with excellent insulation and significant air leakage loses conditioned air continuously through gaps, penetrations, and transitions that no amount of insulation thickness can compensate for. To stop these invisible efficiency leaks, you need a contractor who will identify and seal the specific gaps that compromise your comfort.
As a licensed contractor (Lic #993589), Pure Eco backs our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We provide free consultations and upfront estimates, delivering fast results through experienced local technicians with no pushy sales tactics. Our focus remains on your home’s air quality and long-term energy savings.

Burbank homes leak air in predictable places. Can lights recessed into the ceiling below the attic are among the worst offenders. Standard recessed fixtures are essentially open holes between the living space and the attic. Attic hatch covers are rarely insulated or sealed properly. The gap between drywall and top plates allows air to move freely from the wall cavity into the attic. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC penetrations through the ceiling plane are typically unsealed on the attic side.
In a city that hits 95 to 100 degrees in summer, every gap that lets hot attic air into the living space or pushes cooled air out costs money. But Burbank homeowners face an additional consideration that has become increasingly relevant: wildfire smoke. Burbank sits at the base of the Verdugo Mountains, and during fire events in the surrounding hills or broader Southern California, smoke infiltrates through every unsealed gap in the building envelope. A well-sealed home keeps that smoke out significantly better than a leaky one.

Burbank falls in the California Title 24 Climate Zone 9. While the Title 24 code includes air sealing requirements for new construction and certain renovations, most existing Burbank homes were built long before these standards existed and have never had a systematic air sealing treatment. For homes not undergoing permitted renovations, air sealing is not mandatory, but it is one of the most cost-effective energy efficiency improvements available.
The construction era of your Burbank home directly affects the air sealing scope. The older Craftsman and Spanish Revival homes near downtown and Magnolia Park often have balloon-frame wall construction, which creates a continuous air channel from the crawl space through the wall cavity and into the attic. Sealing the top plate connection in these homes is especially important because the air leakage path extends the full height of the building. The postwar ranch homes in the Rancho area and along Glenoaks typically have platform framing with smaller but still significant gaps at penetrations and transitions.
A standalone air sealing project in a Burbank home takes three to five hours. When air sealing is performed as part of an insulation project, it adds two to three hours to the overall timeline and is completed before insulation installation begins. The work is done entirely from the attic. Living areas are not disrupted.

Homes with significant air leakage, which is common in pre-1980 Burbank construction, typically see measurable reductions in both heating and cooling costs. The Department of Energy estimates that air sealing combined with insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by 10 to 20 percent or more.
Yes. Air sealing reduces the amount of uncontrolled outdoor air entering the home, which is directly beneficial during wildfire smoke events. Burbank homeowners near the Verdugo foothills have particular reason to consider this benefit.
Air sealing materials are available at hardware stores, but the value of professional air sealing is knowing where to look. The most significant leakage points are in the attic and are not visible from the living space.
The California energy code includes limiting air leakage for new construction and for certain renovations. For existing Burbank homes not undergoing permitted renovations, it is not mandatory, but it is one of the highest-return energy efficiency measures available.
We offer both. We offer standalone air sealing assessments and installations, and we include air sealing as a standard component of our attic insulation projects.
