Reston, VA Attic Transformation

This Reston, VA home had comfort issues with rooms that got too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.  Our sales professional Eric met with the homeowner to perform a full home inspection and find out why and try to identify a solution.  Eric was able to show the homeowners that the primary cause of their discomfort was the attic’s lack of air sealing and low R value insulation. He determined that the best course of action would be to completely air seal and insulate the attic with ZypFoam air sealant and new top-of-the-line TruSoft cellulose insulation. After the homeowners agreed to Eric’s solution one of our service crews went out to get to work on the home. The crew started by removing and disposing of the old ineffective insulation that had been the primary cause of the original discomfort. After that, they applied ZypFoam air sealant to all of the gaps in the attic floor. This sealed any potential leaks that could have led to uncontrolled unconditioned air seeping out from the attic and into the living spaces. Finally, the crew installed the new TruSoft cellulose insulation to keep the home comfortable year-round.
