Vienna VA Attic Insulation and Air Sealing Project

This Vienna VA home was uncomfortable and had sweating HVAC ducts.  This happens when the air temperature surrounding the HVAC ducts delivering cooled or heated air to the rooms in your home is  much hotter or colder than the air in the ducts, creating condensation.  The condensation was dripping onto the drywall ceilings and creating water damage.  Our home Performance Sales Pro Eric went out to visit with the homeowner and performed a free Home Performance Inspection.  Eric was able to identify a lack of air seal in the attic that was allowing for conditioned air to leave the rooms of the home below, causing the HVAC system to work harder and create more conditioned air.  He was also able to see that the insulation in the attic was failing and not helping to control the comfort or energy in the home.  Our production team removed the old insulation and then applied Zyp Foam to help air seal the attic before finishing off the project by adding blown in Tru Soft cellulose insulation to cover it all.
