Cracks or gaps present in the walls, ceilings or floors can be found by simply feeling around doors and windows with the back of your hand for moving cold or warm air. For more complex leaks, a thermal imaging device can be used. This is one of the best ways of detecting the gaps and cracks, so that un-insulated areas can be repaired. If you find an area that needs attention you can do it yourself by using many of the useful solutions found at home improvement stores.
