Hello everyone.
How can I best seal the gap between the wall and the ventilation pipe as airtight as possible?
The first thing that comes to mind is foam. But then the pipes are permanently fixed.
Are there special solutions for something like this? An expanding tape that you press into the gap, or can you tape over the gap? Basically over the pipe and the wall?
You can feel a draft through the hole. You only notice it if you hold your hand directly in front of it. I think it comes from the cavity behind the brick.
The back of the hole leads into our garage. There I sealed everything with acrylic and painted over it.
However, there the ventilation pipe abuts the wall. There was no gap like in the utility room.
