Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

Homeowner called us with concerns on dense packing and Spray Foam insulation with their air ducts. Our certified home performance sales pro, Eric, visited the home for a free estimate where he created a plan that would provide the homeowners with the perfect solution. Here is the before and after.

This Cross Junction, VA homeowner was looking for the most comfortable, most efficient way to insulate their basement when remodeling.  Comfenergy suggested the perfect solution with closed cell spray foam insulation. This completely air seals and insulates at the same time for the best results you can get!

This Linden, VA homeowner had mold growing on the drywall in the garage ceiling that was causd by the HVAC duct work above the drywall sweating in the summer time.  This duct sweating is caused by hot/humid air hitting the cold metal ducting.  This makes the air hit dew point and sweat.  Then, it dripped on their drywall and over time caused mold to grow.

Comfenergy removed and disposed of the dryall where the mold was growing.  Then, we completely encased the metal ducting with closed cell spray foam to air seal it and protect it from the hot/humid air entering the cavity the duct runs through.

Spray Foam Insulation was able to help this hot home in Linden VA.  The walls which were from a closet on the other side were covered to prevent attic temperatures from impacting the room on the other side of the wall.  spray foam also helped to create and air seal and eliminate uncontrolled air flow.  The rest of the attic was filled with Tru Soft Cellulose insulation.  

Spray foam and Tru Soft cellulose insulation are a great combination of products to help improve the performance of an HVAC system in a home and can help to reduce energy costs.  Protecting the air travelling through an HVAC duct by eliminating the influence of attic temperatures can help keep the conditioned air travelling through at the temperature it is intended to be at to help heat or cool the rooms it is being sent to.  We removed the existing insulation in this attic before air sealing the space with Zyp Foam and then encapsulating the HVAC duct in Spray Foam.  Afterwards we blew in Tru Soft Cellulose insulation to add the extra layer of protection and insulation.
