I got my energy assessment done, and I'm expecting it comes back that my house is leaky AF (113 years old).
I'm going through this for solar, but curious if the home effeciency crew has ideas to address this:
Our basement was at some point partially dug out. The dug out portion has the typical super fat concrete walls underpinning the original footing, so there is a ledge all the way around that space.
The fat concrete walls were crumbling, so a wood foundation wall was built in front of that. It is open at the top where the "ledge" is, but that space is now a few feet deep and only like 12" tall, so not easy to access.
I can insulate/seal the wood foundation wall easily, but what the hell do I do with the "void" at the top? That is where there is tons of leakage due to additions and various utility perforations.
Then we have the crawlspace area... it's a nightmare to crawl around in, but I could access the "ledge" in that space to some feasible extent. It's just awful.
