Dense Packing Interior Walls in a Home in Manchester, CT

This homeowner in Manchester, CT called us hoping to insulate between the two sides of the duplex he owns. He lived in one side, and he had tenants on the other side. He was experiencing issues with his home comfort. Specifically, his home was much too warm in the summer and cold in the winter. His tenant was also having this issue. He wanted his walls insulated, including the interior walls.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We dense packed the walls using TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. For the interior walls, 2.56” holes were drilled through the drywall. A fill tube was inserted up (and down) into wall cavities to not only fill, but dense pack the wall cavities. Dense packing is a technique that packs the insulation in very tightly - so tightly that all irregular shaped cavities and crevices in the wall cavities are filled, and air will not penetrate the dense packed cellulose. Dense packed cellulose stops air flow through the wall and insulates. TruSoft™ Cellulose is treated to be highly fire, mold and pest resistant. The holes were then plugged so that the homeowner could repaint them. Result - A less drafty, warmer, quieter, more comfortable house, less dust/pollen, house not so dry in winter, lower fuel/electric bills, heating system runs less - less maintenance.
