This homeowner in Johnson City, NY wanted to improve their insulation in the attic, so they gave us a call to do an energy assessment. After seeing that they were losing a lot of heat throughout the home, they decided to do something about it.
We proposed to spray foam the roof deck of the attic, sealing gaps and cracks where air was escaping and to dense pack the walls of the home with cellulose insulation. After carefully removing the siding, we drilled holes just slightly larger than our hoses to ensure room to work with. Once each drilled cavity was filled with cellulose, they were sealed with wooden plugs and the siding was replaced just as carefully as it was removed.
This homeowner in Johnson City wanted to see what could be done to improve the overall comfort of the home, while helping to lessen the utility bills. The homeowner called us to do a Home Comfort Evaluation to see what the needs of the home were.
The home had very little insulation in the walls, and the crawlspace needed to be addressed as well. Through the NYSERDA Empower program, we were able to assist this homeowner in achieving a more comfortable home.
Our crew began in the crawlspace, we sprayed two inches of our closed cell spray foam into the rim joists, then used laid down a vapor barrier to the crawlspace floor before adhering the vapor barrier to the wall of the crawlspace with two inches of closed cell spray foam. The crew then focused on the exterior walls of the home. They carefully removed the siding from the home, drilled holes just bigger than our hoses and then dense packed the walls with cellulose insulation. Once each hole was packed, they sealed the hole with one part foam, then plugged them with cedar wood plugs before replacing the siding as carefully as they had removed it - to look at the home from the outside, you'd never know we'd done the work!
