Before & After

Making a Home More Comfortable in Glastonbury, CT

This homeowner in Glastonbury, CT called us to address the improper installation of attic insulation and mold problems in the first floor of the hallway. We went to conduct our Full Home Energy Evaluation and found additional mold up in the attic. This home had a radiant barrier with no air sealing, only fiberglass insulation in the radiant barrier sheets. Because of the improper air sealing and insulation, condensation and heat loss from the home was making its way past the radiant barrier and creating condensation, and eventually mold.

We removed the radiant barrier and all of the old fiberglass insulation in the attic. Next, we removed the mold using our Mold-X on the effected areas. We laid our 4" SilverGlo foam board across the wooded walkway and blew in the insulation. Next, we installed plywood over the foam board and secured it in place. We dense packed our TruSoft cellulose insulation and built a deck so the homeowner could access this area for storage. Finally, we completed our Cellulose insulation on the sides of the catwalk.

Thanks to Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is now more comfortable, healthy, and energy efficient!
