Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Granville, MA called us saying that he had found mold and damp insulation in his attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and was able to do a full evaluation. He noted that among other issues such as improper ventilation, the attic was not air sealed and had ineffective insulation. 

In order to help this attic customer, we first had to remove the old fiberglass insulation. There were two types of insulation, blown-in fiberglass and fiberglass batt insulation. We bagged the batt insulation and vacuumed the rest out with a long hose. 

We then set to work re-insulating the attic. We first air-sealed all cracks and gaps in the attic floor using Zypfoam one part spray foam. We used our TiteShell™ can light covers to cover up the can lights and sealed around them. 

After that, we insulated the attic floor using our TruSoft™ blown in cellulose insulation. We insulated to R-60, which is the recommended level of insulation for attics in our region. 

Now, this homeowner has a much more comfortable home - he was already feeling a noticeable difference less than a week after this job was completed! 

This homeowner was experiencing a lot of air leakage in their attic. creating cold drafty rooms as well as heat loss in the winter. The heat loss created an increase in the cost of heating the home. By air sealing all of the gaps with our foam insulation and blowing in Dr. Energy Savers TruSoft cellulose insulation, it created a more comfortable environment for the entire home and family. Our TruSoft cellulose insulation is treated with natural borate compounds. By doing this we have created a higher R-value in the space as well as decreasing the energy costs, making the rooms below a comfortable living space for the customer and their family.

This homeowner in Weatogue, CT called us with issues with his attic insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that the attic pull down stairs were leaking a LOT of air up into the home. This is fairly common -- it is hard to insulate these attic hatches. But this means that the air this homeowner is paying to heat and cool was leaking up into the attic, where it escapes out the vents. 

We were able to help this customer create a more comfortable home. Our solution was our exclusive David Lewis Hatch Cover™. It is created out of lightweight SilverGlo™ insulation, and prevents air leakage from the attic stairs into the attic. This lightweight foam cover is easily lifted when they need to get into the attic, and easily moved right back when they leave -- meaning they are always protected. This homeowner will be able to have a more comfortable home for years to come! 

This homeowner experienced huge amounts of air leakage which caused heat loss in the winter and conditioned air in the summer, driving up energy costs for heating and cooling the home. Our team installed the Super Knee Wall system, which uses SilverGlo rigid foam insulation. These panels create a continuous air and insulation barrier beneath the roof of the home. With the Super Knee Wall insulation installed, the homeowner was able to experience a significant change in their energy consumption as well as their energy costs.
