Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This Burke, VA home was suffering from an uncomfortable draftiness that seemed to happen throughout the entire home. Our sales professional Greg went out to the property to perform a full home inspection and find the best possible solution to the homeowner’s discomfort. After completing the inspection Greg explained to the homeowners that the primary cause of their discomfort was the attic’s lack of proper air sealing and the low-end insulation that was failing to properly protect the house. He determined that the best course of action to end their discomfort would be to completely air seal the attic and replace the old insulation with new high-quality TruSoft cellulose. After the homeowners agreed to Greg’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 one of the biggest contributing factors to the draftiness. After that, they applied ZypFoam air sealant to all of the gaps in the attic floor to prevent any potential leaks that could lead to uncontrolled unconditioned air seeping from the attic and into the living spaces. Finally, the crew installed the new TruSoft cellulose as the primary source of insulation to keep the home comfortable in even the windiest conditions.

This Burke VA home had an attic that was under insulated, lacked an air seal and had space that the homeowner wanted to use for storage purposes.  We were able to remove the old insulation, air seal the attic with Zyp Foam, build out damning walls to hold back blown in Tru Soft cellulose insulation and finally we installed an attic hatch door cover to keep the conditioned air below from leaking into the attic.  

This homeowner in Burke VA called us because they wanted the top floor of their home to be cooler in the summer.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro did a fill home inspection and was able to identify opportunities in the attic that would help when addressed.  Our production team removed the existing old insulation in order to expose the attic floor.  They used Zyp Foam to air seal all of the small gaps and cracks where conditioned air had been escaping the rooms below.  Controlling the air flow inside of the home will help to reduce the energy costs to cool it in the summer and heat it in the winter.  After air sealing, our team blew in Tru soft cellulose insulation to fill the rest of the attic space and properly insulate the home. 

We removed the old, traditional bat style insulation, air sealed the space with ZypFoam and installed Foamax insulation panels on the walls and roof of this attic.  This helped make the floor space in the attic useable and made the attic a fully conditioned space unimpacted by outside temperatures.  

This Woodbridge VA home had a top floor that was too hot.  During the Home Performance Inspection, our sales pro Pedro discovered an improperly design bathroom exhaust vent.  The vent extended just into the attic and was distributing air from the bathroom into the attic adding unnecessary moisture to the space.  Our team extended the vent and made it properly exhaust air outside of the home.
