Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This home in Herndon, VA was experiencing cold drafts this winter and found it expensive to keep their home warm.  In the attic there was very little insulation and had a low R value.  We used our TruSoft Blown-in Insulation resulting in a less drafty and more comfortable home.

This attic in Reston VA had a big project completed with multiple products and services utilized to help make the homes upper floor more comfortable year round.  We removed the old insulation, used Zyp Foam to air seal the attic, installed Silver Glo insulation panels to a large section, insulated the HVAX duct with spray foam and then filled the space with Tru Soft cellulose insulation.  This homeowner will be more comfortable and pay less to heat and cool their home.  

This Reston, VA attic had low-quality insulation that was making the home too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. We went out to the home and had our sales professional complete a full inspection. He determined that the best solution would be to tear out and dispose of the old insulation, add ZypFoam to air seal the freshly cleared attic floor, and then add new TruSoft cellulose insulation to keep the home comfortable year-round.

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.

This Reston VA home was uncomfortable for the homeowner year round.  In the winter months the home was too cold and in warmer months the home was too hot.  Our clients decided to go with our recommendation to upgrade the condition of their attic, including removal of the old insulation, removal of and then covering over an existing attic fan hole, air sealing the floor of the attic and then covering it all with blown in Tru Soft cellulose insulation.  This will keep the conditioned air created by the HVAC system in the rooms it is intended to heat or cool and make the temperature of the home more even from one area of the home to another.  It will also help to reduce the energy costs to live in the home.
