Comfenergy Before & After Photos

This Purcellville VA homeowner had several very old basement windows.  We were able to change them out with some new energy-efficient windows.  

This Jeffersonton, VA homeowner has suffered from high humidity in the basement of their home for years. The basement is attached to a low ceiling crawl space built on a slab. The high humidity is typically caused by:

1. Drainage of ground water from outside.

2. Hydrostatic water table pressure coming up from below.

3. Hot/humid air coming into the basement and hitting cold surfaces.

These before and after photos show how Comfenergy solved the humidity issue. A perimeter drainage system was installed in the slab around the perimeter of the crawl space. CleanSpace (20 mil) vapor barrier is tucked behind the perimeter drain. Then Thermax foam wall panels are installed to provide the proper air sealing and insulation value. Thermax also provides a thermal barrier for fire protection and meet codes.

Now the basement and crawl space are nice and dry!

This homes attic had old insulation, open access air vents and an attic fan.  This all added up to a lack of control over the space and temperature fluctuations that impacted the comfort for the homeowners in the living spaces below.  We air sealed the attic with ZypFoam, sealed up the vents and fan and used SilverGlo insulation panels to cover many of the walls and other needed spaces in the attic. This will help control the space and reduce the loss of conditioned air from the living spaces below.  Increased comfort and lower bills will be other nice results.  

This home has a sun room/porch that is built on a deck. The floor of the deck had no insulation and as a result, the floor and room above it were uncomfortably humid in the summer and literally cold to the touch in the winter. We installed closed cell spray foam to the rafters under the deck to insulate and keep the floors above the deck comfortable!

One of the most important things to do before insulating an attic is to air seal it.  Here is a before/after of an air gap that we found and sealed with our Spray Foam in Lovettsville, VA.
