Burke, VA Attic Enhancement

This Burke, VA home was suffering from an uncomfortable draftiness that seemed to happen throughout the entire home. Our sales professional Greg went out to the property to perform a full home inspection and find the best possible solution to the homeowner’s discomfort. After completing the inspection Greg explained to the homeowners that the primary cause of their discomfort was the attic’s lack of proper air sealing and the low-end insulation that was failing to properly protect the house. He determined that the best course of action to end their discomfort would be to completely air seal the attic and replace the old insulation with new high-quality TruSoft cellulose. After the homeowners agreed to Greg’s solution one of our service crews went out to get to work on the home. The crew started by removing and disposing of the old ineffective insulation that had been one of the biggest contributing factors to the draftiness. After that, they applied ZypFoam air sealant to all of the gaps in the attic floor to prevent any potential leaks that could lead to uncontrolled unconditioned air seeping from the attic and into the living spaces. Finally, the crew installed the new TruSoft cellulose as the primary source of insulation to keep the home comfortable in even the windiest conditions.
