Any proper attic insulation project should include air sealing. Often times we find clients who previously worked with other companies and the only thing they did was add insulation on top of what was originally there. We make sure to take the extra time and remove existing insulation so that we can use Zyp Foam to seal up all of the gaps, cracks and seams in the attic floor. This helps prevent conditioned air loss from the rooms below, making homes more comfortable and energy efficient. After air sealing, we blow in new Tru Soft cellulose insulation.
This Occoquan VA home was found to have small amounts of mold behind some existing insulation. We were tasked with removing the insulation in with the intent to replace it with a better quality product that would bring better results. Before we could do so we had to treat the small amounts of mold with botanical spray. It is a food grade mixture that is not harmful to people or pets but will kill and stop the spread of mold if caught early. Here our technician is administering the botanical spray after the initial removal of the old insulation.
Before and after photos of a covered front porch in Dunn Loring, VA.The homeowner was allergic to the neighbors dryer sheet odors and they were entering her home through this vented covered front porch. Nothing a little SilverGlo foam boards and one part foam can't solve!!!
In addition to air sealing and insulation the surface of this Annandale VA attic, we needed to treat the walls too. Removing the old traditional batt insulation was step one. We then used the orange ZypFoam to seal up and cracks or places when air could come in our out. Afterwards we cut SilverGlo insulation panels to fit the wall and then used ZypFoam again to seal that. When the sun hits the outside of this home, this wall will keep the heat from building up on =side of the attic.
This Lorton, VA homeowner was looking for ways to lower their utility bills. Comfenergy found a ton of air leakage in the attic allowing the heated and cooled air to leave the home. This before and after pic set is showing how we air sealed around an air duct that went into the top floor. By closing this gap, we prevent any air travelling between this space.
