Foam It Insulation Before & After Photos

Exposed Interior Walls before and after spray foam insulation has been applied.

This house had a couple crawlspaces underneath their home and they complained of the rooms above the crawlspaces being very cold. The best way to resolve these issues was to completely encapsulate the crawlspace. These photos are the before and after of the spray foam portion of the encapsulation process.

This homeowner was suffering from extreme cold in the winter and paying a lot to heat the home to try to make it warmer but it wasn't happening to their liking. There were several things that we did for this home to help it be more energy efficient and save the homeowner on the heating and cooling costs. We insulated the attic with our TruSoft cellulose insulation made of recycled newspaper, which is mixed with borate - a natural Earth element that is flame retardant, as well as in the walls of the home.

First, before we added the insulation to the attic, we made sure to air seal the roof to ensure a tight seal where the air the homeowner was paying to heat and cool wasn't escaping. We then did an open blowing of several inches of our TruSoft Cellulose.

This Binghamton, NY was air sealed before we did an open blow of our TruSoft Cellulose Insulation. We did an open blow of 14 inches in this attic.

This home in Binghamton, NY had Fiberglass batts in the attic, which we know is generally inadequate for keeping the air out. Essentially, the fiberglass batt insulation acts more like an air filter (which is why it gets so dingy and dirty rather than keeping it's yellow or pink color) allowing the cold or hot air depending on the time of year escape, or filter in.

First, we removed the Fiberglass batts. Then we air sealed the rim joists, top plates and other necessary areas in the attic space. We then sprayed 3 inches of our closed cell spray foam to the attic roof deck. This will ensure a nicely insulated home that is more comfortable and more energy efficient.
