This Newark Valley, NY mobile home owner was in need of better insulation to help her and her children from the cold floors. There were a few spots where the insulation had been cut away from the underside for plumbing or electrical access - but no insulation had been replaced in those areas.
We sprayed 2 inches of our closed cell spray foam to the underside of the mobile home. This will prevent the cold winter air and hot summer air from sneaking up through the floor and making the people in the home uncomfortable.
This homeowner in Newark Valley was having some difficulty keeping the home at comfortable temperatures. We came out and did a Home Comfort Evaluation and discovered that the attic had old batts of insulation that were discolored and you could see they were aged. The homeowner's income qualified them to get the work done at no cost to them through the Empower program with NYSERDA, which we work together with to keep homes comfortable and energy efficient.
2 inches of our Closed Cell spray foam was sprayed into the rim joists, then our focus turned to the attic space. We removed the fiberglass batts and air sealed the attic, sealing along the sill plates, gaps, and wire penetrations. The crew then built a dam to contain the cellulose for a storage deck so the attic space would still be able to be used for storage. The crew then did an open blow of 14 inches of our Cellulose insulation into the attic space around the storage deck.
The basement of this home in Newark Valley, NY needed insulation.
We sprayed 2 inches of closed cell foam to the foundation walls along with 3 inches to the rim joist. The basement is now better insulated which will help with comfort, energy efficiency and humidity.
This Newark Valley, NY home needed new basement insulation and an improved sump pump.
We sprayed 2 inches of foam to the foundation walls and replaced the older sump pump that was in place. This home now has a better insulated basement and a sump with improved capabilities.
