Thinking Green: Checking For Leaks

Start with a simple science experiment, end with cost- and environmental savings.

Your home is something that needs to be buttoned up snug for the winter months, and any tiny leak you miss here and there can run you big at the end of home heating season. You can easily check to see if there’s a little leak in the bucket or soda bottle you’re carrying around – but how do you check for tiny leaks in something as big as a house?

Danny Lipford has a way, in this week’s Thinking Green.
