Fixing a Leaky Attic Hatch with a David Lewis Hatch Cover in Manasquan, NJ

Monday, October 13th, 2025 by Michael Gloeckler

Challenge

Attic hatches often leak, allowing conditioned air you’ve paid for to escape into the attic. For this homeowner in Manasquan, NJ, that led to higher energy bills and year-round discomfort.

Solution

We sealed the gaps and cracks around the attic entrance framing with foam sealant to prevent drafts and stop air from escaping. Our team also installed weather stripping around the frame to create a tighter seal once the David Lewis Hatch Cover was in place, keeping unwanted air out of the attic. These improvements helped eliminate leaks and reduce the homeowner’s energy costs.

Project Summary

Products Used: David Lewis Hatch Cover & ZypFoam Sealant

The attic hatch is not properly air-sealed, allowing air to leak through.

After sealing the attic frame with foam sealant, we added weather stripping to ensure the hatch is airtight.

After completing the attic air sealing and insulation, we installed the David Lewis Hatch Cover over the entrance to provide extra insulation and a tighter seal.

Now, the homeowner has a properly insulated and air-sealed attic, with a hatch cover that keeps the home's comfort exactly where it belongs.
