Reliable Insulation & Radon Testing Company in Willimantic, CT

Problem:

This homeowner called because they were having problems with rodents living in their attic. The homeowner knows that the attic needs new insulation and would like us to come evaluate.

Solution:

Upon evaluation, our Building Science Specialist confirmed that there were, in fact, rodents living in the existing insulation in the attic and that the attic insulation would need to be completely removed, cleaned out, air sealed and insulated properly with TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation. We performed these services and presented the homeowners with a "Critter-Free", airtight and properly insulated attic. We not only eliminated the problem with "Critters" but more importantly improved the overall energy efficiency of the home and made the home more comfortable.

Problem:

This homeowner gave us a call because she heard that we are the "People To Talk To" if she was worried about spending too much on heating/cooling her very old home. She was interested in finding out how to save money on yearly energy bills.

Solution:

Our Building Science Specialist did a full energy evaluation and came up with the following plan to solve her energy efficiency problems. We would need to remove and dispose of all old, dirty insulation, clean and treat entire attic area with MoldX™ 2 Cleaner and Botanical to eliminate/prevent future mold and prep for new insulation. We would then air seal all penetrations and insulate with blown-in, TruSoft™ Cellulose, to the optimum R-value. Next we insulate all areas of the home where there are cathedral ceilings by Going in through the ridge vents on the roof. We remove the ridge vents and use a long fill tube to dense pack the TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation to air seal and fill each rafter bay completely. We replace the ridge vent system and now the cathedral ceiling is well insulated. This home had a scuttle opening to the attic which we insulated with SilverGlo™ Insulation Board. We complete this project by making sure the basement is air sealed by installing spray foam insulation at the rim joist, lining the basement walls with Foamax™ Insulation board and replacing the basement windows with Everlast™ High Efficiency Vinyl Windows. This old home is now all "buttoned up" and as energy efficient as ever.

Problem:

This homeowner called us because she recently had a new roof installed on her home and realized that her attic had little to no existing insulation. This homeowner was shocked when the roofer delivered the news. She immediately called us for help.

Solution:

Our Building Science Specialist met with this homeowner, and upon evaluation, it was determined that the attic needed to have insulation added underneath the decking (attic floor). We drilled holes in the existing deck and, using a special installation technique, TruSoft™ Cellulose Insulation is dense packed in through the holes to air seal and fill the entire space underneath the deck. This new, insulated area under the attic floor will improve this homes energy efficiency, making the whole home more comfortable.
