Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

This Arlington VA home had a large cantilever extending beyond the footprint of the foundation.  A cantilever can add square footage for upper floors compared to the foundational floor by extending outward but the design often leaves homeowners experiencing comfort issues.  An uninsulated or unsealed cantilever can allow external air and temperatures to come in through the rim joists of the home and will often result in colder or hotter than wanted floors.  We remove the panels framing the bottom of the cantilever and use spray foam to seal up and insulate.  

This Arlington VA home had a cantilever that was allowing outside air and temperatures to impact the room it was connected to.  Cantilevers extend out beyond the wall of a home and are often uninsulated, allowing for air flow through the rim joists.  We remove the material covering the bottom, install spray foam to insulate and air seal and then reattach the cover.  This can help reduce energy bills and make the connected room more comfortable.  

This Alexandria VA home had HVAC Ducts running through the attic which had been wrap insulated but were not effectively delivering conditioned air to the rooms below.  The wrap insulation had tears and gaps where attic temperatures were able to impact the conditioned air from the HVAC system and allowed that conditioned air to escape.  In addition to better insulating the rest of the attic space, our Home performance Sales Pro Carl recommended that the HVAC ducts be encapsulated with spray foam to properly seal up and protect them for better delivery of the conditioned air inside.  

This Alexandria VA apartment had HVAC ducts that ran adjacent to the windows and sliding doors that lead to the outside patio/deck area of the living space.  This left the HVAC ducts susceptible to impact from the external temperatures which caused the HVAC to run more often than it should have needed too. This also lead to added noise for the residents when the HVAC system was running.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro visited the home and found a solution to help protect the HVAC ducts from external temperatures and to reduce the noise coming from the HVAC system.  Pedro advised that the HVAC ducts be encapsulated in spray foam insulation.  Our production team removed the drywall around the HVAC ducts to gain access to each side and then applied spray foam to cover the ducts.  Once dried, the spray foam was shaved down to make it flat around the HVAC ducts and allow to reinstall the drywall that had been cut away.  

This Alexandria VA home had comfort issues due to a lack of efficient air seal in the attic and inefficient insulation.  In addition to that, the HVAC ducts were sweating causing water to accumulate and damage the ceiling/drywall above several rooms.  When an HVAC system is pushing cold air through a metal duct that passes through a hot attic space, it will create condensation (sweat) which can accumulate and cause damage or even promote the growth of mold.  We used spray foam to insulate sections of the duct work.  This will help keep the ducts from heating up and let the cold air pass through without issue,
