Insulation Services Case Studies: Blown-in Insulation in Herndon, VA
Challenge
This Herndon, VA homeowner was looking to make the top floor of their home more comfortable and less drafty, yet not lose any attic storage area. Comfenergy was able to offer a solution for all of these requests in one wonderful package!
Solution
Comfenergy first removed the existing attic plywood decking to reveal dirty, blown fiberglass and a ton of air leakage from the house. The dirty fiberglass insulation was removed to easily see the air leakage and seal them with one part foam and foam boards. A new attic storage deck was built with 4" thick SilverGlo foam boards and new OSB plywood. Plywood dams were installed to keep the newly blown TruSoft cellulose insulation off of the attic storage deck. The attic is now air sealed and they still have the storage space they needed. Comfenergy does it again!!!
