Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This Binghamton, NY customer had done a lot of research prior to his appointment with us. He was very concerned with ice damming on the roof on the south side of the home. The attic had layers of fiberglass batts in the attic flat, and the walls and rim joists lacked any insulation. 

We proposed to remove all of the existing insulation from the attic flat, air seal and do an open blow of cellulose insulation, as well as dense pack the slopes and insulate the rim joists. We began the project by removing all of the fiberglass batts that were in the attic flat and air sealed. This meant sealing around top plates, wire penetrations, light fixtures and small gaps and cracks. We then dense packed the slopes of the attic walls with our Cellulose insulation before doing an open blow in the attic flat. 17 inches of our cellulose insulation was blown into the attic space. We then air sealed and insulated the scuttle access to the attic before spray foaming the rim joists with 3 inches of our Closed Cell Spray Foam to air seal and insulate. 

These new homeowners in Binghamton were wanting to be a little more energy efficient in the attic. We proposed to dense pack the attic, including the stairs, landing and walls leading up to the attic. 

Holes were drilled to fit our hoses for the cellulose insulation. and did a dense pack of our cellulose insulation to the floor of the attic. This allows the attic to still be usable for storage. 

This Binghamton, NY homeowner had recently purchased this home and realized that the crawlspace beneath the bathroom was pretty empty, which was causing the floors to be unbearably cold. 

We installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation System for this home. First, the crew laid down our drainage matting. This has special dimples to allow the water to pass through beneath, then the matting is covered with our TerraBlock, then covered with our 10 mil poly vapor barrier. We then sprayed the walls of the crawlspace with 2 inches of our closed cell spray foam. This also adheres the encapsulation system to the wall so it won't slip down. 

These homeowners in Binghamton were hoping to make their home more comfortable for the winter. The entire home was built over a crawl space so we addressed the crawl space first with our CleanSpace system. We removed the old vapor barrier and the fiberglass from the ceiling of the crawl space. Our drainage matting was laid down first, then our TerraBlock followed by our 6 mil poly vapor barrier. We then sprayed the walls of the crawl space with 3 inches of our closed cell spray foam, which insulates the walls as well as adheres the CleanSpace system to the crawl space.

The crew then turned their focus to the attic space. They removed all of the old fiberglass batts that were old and dirty, air sealed the attic and built a retention dam between the living space and garage of the home. The crew then did an open blow of 14 inches of our cellulose insulation. Now this home is much more comfortable and energy efficient for the owners!

This attic is just one part of a large larger project we did for this Binghamton, NY homeowner.

Along with spraying the attic roof, there was cellulose insulation blown in on the attic flat.  Everything was air-sealed.  The rim joist was sprayed with closed-cell foam.  The garage, basement, and walls were also insulated.  This homeowner will no longer have to worry about losing warm air in the winter or cool air in the summer.
