Insulating an Attic in Storrs, CT

This homeowner in Storrs, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his attic insulation. He had old loose fill insulation that needed to be replaced. In the winters, he experienced ice damming, and in the summers, he had a bad humidity problem. He also had a mold problem, and there were rodents and bats that were entering his attic. He wanted to remove all of those issues and start fresh with new insulation to increase his home comfort.

We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the old blown-in insulation using a large vacuum. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the attic was air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner is now much more comfortable in his home!
