Look for something big. <br /> How about this: <br /> Step 1. Make sure a good air sealing contractor tried to fix it. Third party- paid contractor. <br /> Step 2. Put a BOLD affidavit on the sale documents. <br /> From: Gary Nordeen [mailto:NordeenG@energy.wsu.edu] <br /> Sent:Tuesday, February 21, 2017 9:51 AM <br /> To: Murray, Chuck (COM) <chuck.murray@commerce.wa.gov> <br /> Subject: FW: Blower Door Test Failure <br /> FYI They do fail sometimes and then we don't know what to do <br /> From: Gary Nordeen <br /> Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2017 9:51 AM <br /> To: 'Kurt Keck'; EnergyCode <br /> Cc: Chuck Murray - Commerce <br /> Subject: RE: Blower Door Test Failure <br /> Hi Kurt, <br /> That is a pretty leaky house. Most houses are coming in at around 4.5 or less. What have they tried to do to fix the <br /> situation? Look under the bathtubs and shower pans to see if they have a big cut outs that are not sealed. Pocket doors <br /> not sealed on the top? Leaks around light fixture penetrations, etc.To diagnose the leaks, someone needs to use a <br /> smoke pencil to see where the leaks are at. I would be asking the caulking and sealing contractor what happened. <br /> Let me know if you have any further information. <br /> Gary <br /> Gary Nordeen,Senior Building Science Specialist <br /> WSU Energy Program <br /> Phone: (360) 956-2040 <br /> Email: nordeeng@energy.wsu.edu <br /> www.energy.wsu.edu <br /> 1 <br />
