This Washington, VA homeowner complained of cold drafts around the entire home during the winter.
Solution
After a thorough evaluation, the Comfenergy expert suggested to have all of the exterior walls dense packed with TruSoft cellulose insulation. This dense packing process compacts any existing insulation that is allowing air to flow around or throught it. The TruSoft cellulose also fills any air gaps in the thermal envelope of the building.
Project Summary
Evaluator: Carl Depner
The vinyl siding is removed temporarily to be able to access the wall cavities.
Here is a close-up of the corner of the home with the vinyl siding moved, and holes drilled. We are ready to dense pack now!!!
More access holes made around windows on the upper level of the home.
A cathedral ceiling area was dense packed by removing the fascia and gutters to access the ceiling cavities.
Another photo of the holes after they are plugged. The fascia will be installed back over top of these plugged holes.
