Why Your Home's Drafts Are More Serious Than You Think And How Aftermath Fixes Them


Find Drafts In Your Home - How to Lower Your Heating BillCold drafts sneaking through your home aren’t just annoying—they’re a sign that something in your house isn’t working the way it should. Many homeowners don’t realize that drafts often point to deeper issues hiding behind walls, flooring, insulation, and older windows. Left alone, these problems can slowly increase energy bills, cause moisture buildup, and shorten the lifespan of your home’s structure.


At Aftermath Contracting, we help homeowners across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody understand why drafts form and the best way to fix them for good.




Why Drafts Happen in the First Place


Drafts happen when outside air pushes into your home through weak spots such as:




  • Old or damaged window seals




  • Cracked or shifting door frames




  • Gaps in siding




  • Poor insulation




  • Aging caulking around trims




  • Settling structures in older homes




Each of these issues can slowly get worse over time, creating bigger air leaks, more moisture, and higher heating costs.




What Drafts Are Really Telling You


A drafty home is usually warning you about things like:


1. Heat Loss and Rising Bills


A small gap around a window can cost you hundreds every year. Drafts make your furnace work harder and your energy bill climb faster than you expect.


2. Hidden Moisture Buildup


Air leaks often bring in moisture. Over time, this can lead to mold, weakened framing, peeling paint, and warped flooring.


3. Exterior Weak Points


Drafts can come from deeper issues like failing siding, rotting trim, or deteriorating roof edges—problems that should never be ignored.
