Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This Woodbridge VA home had a top floor that was too hot.  During the Home Performance Inspection, our sales pro Pedro discovered an improperly design bathroom exhaust vent.  The vent extended just into the attic and was distributing air from the bathroom into the attic adding unnecessary moisture to the space.  Our team extended the vent and made it properly exhaust air outside of the home.  

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.

We removed the old, traditional bat style insulation, air sealed the space with ZypFoam and installed Foamax insulation panels on the walls and roof of this attic.  This helped make the floor space in the attic useable and made the attic a fully conditioned space unimpacted by outside temperatures.
