The problem

The attic insulation of Mrs. Negret's house was insufficient. There was less than 10” of fiberglass mat in some places. This caused ice dams on her roof in winter and made her house uncomfortable.

The solution

We have sealed all air leaks such as joints, electrical wire holes. Then, we isolated the recessed lights by adding a box to each of them and sealing around the box. We insulated the access hatch with SilverGlo and finally blew out just over 16” of cellulose fibers. 

The problem

Bad insulation of the attic of Mrs. Erst's house’ Less than 10 in’ of fiberglass as insulation’.

The solution

Remove fiberglass insulation, seal air leaks with our expanded polyurethane foam and blow 16” of cellulose fibers to achieve an R-60 value.

Problem

Lack of insulation in the attic. Our client only had 6” thick wool mats.

Solution

In order to provide a more comfortable home for our client, we removed the old insulation to seal all the air leaks present on the attic floor. And then,  blew in 16 in. of cellulose.

Problem

Mr. Grushka had high heating and cooling costs. His house has become less comfortable.

Solution

Re-insulate the attic and make it more airtight.

Our team removed the old fiberglass insulation to seal all air leaks such as the joints between the boards and the chimney and then the holes. Then we blew 16” of cellulose fibers for a thermal value of R60.

During an attic insulation job, we encountered extreme humidity levels that had caused mold spores to develop within the old insulation. Our team removed the damp, contaminated insulation and thoroughly treated the area to eliminate all mold spores. Once the attic was properly cleaned and sealed, we installed our TruSoft cellulose insulation, achieving a thermal value of R60. This not only enhanced the home's energy efficiency but also addressed the moisture issue, creating a more comfortable and healthier environment for the homeowners.
