This Occoquan VA home was found to have small amounts of mold behind some existing insulation. We were tasked with removing the insulation in with the intent to replace it with a better quality product that would bring better results. Before we could do so we had to treat the small amounts of mold with botanical spray. It is a food grade mixture that is not harmful to people or pets but will kill and stop the spread of mold if caught early. Here our technician is administering the botanical spray after the initial removal of the old insulation.
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 home had an attic that needed several upgrades. In addition to removal of the old insulation along with air sealing and new cellulose insulation, our Production Team built a new catwalk and deck area which would allow access to the different ends of the attic space. The walls of the decking will hold back the cellulose insulation after it is blown in.
This home was looking to make the top floor more comfortable AND lower their utiltiy bills....all with one solution!!!
This Arlington VA home needed an improvement in the attic to help better insulate the home and improve the comfort for the homeowners. The existing insulation had gaps in between framing and the attic floor was not air sealed. Our production team insulated below the existing attic decking and then built up walls around it to hold in the proper level of blown in cellulose insulation around it. this helps to properly insulate the attic and also leaves a clean decking space for storage or access to walk around the space.
