Comfenergy Before & After Photos

One of the most important things to do before insulating an attic is to air seal it.  Here is a before/after of an air gap that we found and sealed with our Spray Foam in Lovettsville, VA.

This home was leaking conditioned air from the HVAC system into the attic, causing the temperatures in the living areas of the home to be uncomfortable.  We cleared out all of the old insulation, air sealed the ceiling, and put in TruSoft Cellulose insulation to keep the attic functioning the way it was intended.  In addition to the improvement in insulation, the material used will help to reduce and deter the presence of rodents in the attic.  

A great way to improve the comfort and energy performance of a home is to apply Spray Foam to the rim joists at the top of the basement foundation walls.  This space can often allow outside air and temperatures to impact the home.  Cold or hot air from outside can cause temperature fluctuations and can carry in dust and allergens that can impact the air quality in the home.  50% of the air inside of a home comes from the lowest points of open air access in the home so creating a low point that is not in or near a basement can keep moisture out as well.  Our production crew applied Spray Foam to this entire basement at all of the rim joists and created and air seal along with better insulation.  

As a contractor who specializes in insulation services, we often come across older homes that have not had their attic inspected in years if not decades.  Over time insulation can settle or shift and become less effective or not effective at all.  Our Home Performance Sales Pros are able to identify when this has happened and develop projects and solutions to fix it.  This Lovettsville VA attic had years of settled insulation and dust, barely covering the surface of the attic in some spots.  Our production team built up damning walls to hold a higher R Value of insulation and keep it from shifting over the years to come.  Tru Soft blown cellulose insulation will last in this attic for years to come.
