For this homeowner we were able to air seal their whole attic floor, insulate the exterior walls with TruSoft cellulose, and install baffles in the bedroom above the garage. These combined measures will no longer allow massive amounts of air leakage in this home and it will also help in keeping their heating and cooling bills low.
This customer was suffering from a severe loss of heat in the walls of the home. Upon inspection by our Certified Home Comfort Advisor specialist, it was discovered there is was a severe lack of insulation throughout the home. Some cellulose was sprayed into the attic for insulation, as well as air sealing the rim joists of the home with spray foam as shown here.
A rim joist is essentially what the home sits on (it provides lateral support to the joists) but can end up very drafty without insulation. Here, we used closed cell spray on the rim joists which helped seal from drafty air which was causing the home to be colder in the winter and warmer in the summer.
This home we did blown in TruSoft cellulose insulation. After carefully removing the siding of the home, the crew drilled holes big enough to put the hoses through for the insulation. This before and after photo set shows as the work is about to begin and what it looked like after the job was completed. The holes were plugged with wooden plugs and sealed, then the siding was replaced.
For this home, there was no access to the attic for the crew to spray cellulose insulation. In order to make the attic (and home overall) more comfortable for the homeowner, the shingles from the roof were carefully removed and a hole was cut. The hole was then densely packed with TruSoft Cellulose insulation, and the shingles were replaced once again.
