Blower Door Testing in Campbellton, Florida
Scheduling the air leakage test on a new Campbellton house so a retest, if one is needed, does not hold up the finish.

Why booking a Campbellton test early helps
The test can run as soon as every opening through the shell exists. It does not wait for paint, floors, trim, cabinets or countertops, and the stretch between a closed shell and a finished house is room on the schedule.
Booking at the earliest ready point puts any second test ahead of the finish work instead of behind it.
The last stretch
Where the test sits in the last weeks of a build
Openings finished
Every pipe, wire, vent and duct through the shell is in, including late ones like the dryer vent, the range hood duct and the line set to the outdoor unit.
Walls and ceiling closed
Drywall is up on the outside walls and on the ceiling below a vented attic, the exterior doors and windows are hung, and the attic hatch is in.
The test
A fan fitted in an exterior doorway holds the house at the test pressure while the leakage is measured.
Sealing and a retest, if needed
A reading over 7 means the leaks are corrected and the house is tested again.
Dates that move

Call when it slips

Keep the details current

The house on test day
Leaving the house ready for either test
For the first test and any retest, windows and outside doors are closed but not sealed, and fireplace or stove doors are shut. Exhaust, intake and flue dampers are closed, interior doors are open where hung, the heating and cooling is off, and supply and return registers are open where installed.
The attic hatch
Back in its frame, since it may have been opened to reach the attic.
Drain traps
Filled, if any sink, tub or shower has not been used since the first test.
The door from the garage
Shut and latched.
What to send when booking
For the first test: the street address, the permit number, the ready date and the name and number of whoever will be on site. For a retest: the same details and the date the corrections will be finished.
Builders, superintendents and owner-builders can all book. Several houses can go in one message, and each is tested on its own with its own result.
Other services
Other work for the new house
Gutters, a garage door and wire shelving come from the same company, and all of it can be raised on the call that books the test.
What it covers
Gutters and downspouts for the new roof edges, a garage door and opener, and shelving for closets, the pantry and the laundry room.
