This Midland, VA homeowner was looking to find a way to make the top floor rooms on the back of the house warmer and less drafty in the winter. Upon a full evaluation by Comfenergy, we found the main culprit to be the cantilever on the back side of the house allowing cold air up under the floors on the back side of the house.
Comfenergy opened the rear cantilever to find almost no insulation whatsoever. Plus there were no real rim joists to slow or stop the air from entering beneath the floors above. Comfenergy used SilverGlo foam boards to create a rim joist. We then used closed cell spray foam to air seal and insulate the cantilever.
The rooms on the back side of the house are nice and warm now!
This Ashburn, VA had rooms over the garage that were too hot in the summer. This is can often be caused by fiberglass batts installed by the builder in the ceiling of the garage. They fall away from the sub-flooring depleting all thermal insulating value. This customer decided to remove the entire garage ceiling and use closed cell spray foam to fix the problem.
This Ashburn VA home had an uninsulated cantilever. The external temperatures were impacting the condition and comfort in the room above. We removed the base board of the cantilever on the outside of the house and filled the cavities with spray foam to insulate and air seal. This will help to keep outside temperatures out and inside feeling the way the homeowner would like it to.
This Ashburn VA attic underwent a full transformation. After our Home Performance Sales Pro performed a no cost inspection of the home, it was determined that the attic space would benefit from air sealing, blown cellulose insulation and panel insulation used on this wall that was facing the sun for most hours of the day and required additional attention to be properly insulated. The existing wall panel insulation was insufficient and was not air sealed. Our production team installed the SilverGlo insulation panels and used ZypFoam to seal up the cracks in between. This helped to create the best result to help improve the comfort ii the home and reduce the energy costs related to heating and cooling the home.
This Ashburn VA home had a room over its garage that shared walls with a partial section of the attic. The homeowners called us to try and help make that room and other areas of the home more comfortable. Our team air sealed the space with Zyp Foam before blowing in more Tru Soft cellulose insulation. There was a small wall section of the attic with framing that created blocks of open space. Our team used Spray Foam to insulate those blocks and finish the project.
