Insulating an Attic in Cromwell, CT

This homeowner in Cromwell, CT called us after being referred by another company who had been handling their mold remediation. The employees at that company recommended that the insulation said that ventilation needed to be added in order to prevent a reoccurence of the mold. They also recommended that the insulation be replaced. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home in order to get a closer look at the attic. When he arrived, he discussed with the homeowner what their attic concerns were. In addition to the humidity and mold issue they were experiencing, they were also experiencing conditioned air and energy loss problems. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the batt insulation, putting it in large bags. 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!
