Challenge

This Manassas, VA homeowner suffered from cold floors, drafty areas, and just could not keep the house warm. The furnace ran 24/7 and still never made the house comfortable. It's hard to describe what we found during the inspection so just take a look at all the issues we uncovered!!!

Solution

Comfenergy encapsulated the crawl space, replaced ducting that was disconnected, re-routed the dryer vent out of the house, and more. Now this homeowner can sleep comfortably and not have to hear the furnace run all the time... just wondering how much lower her next heating bill will be!!!

Look how nasty this crawl space was... we uncovered a ton of issues related to the lack of heat and comfort.

Look at the disconnected and rusty ducting. No wonder they were cold! The heat wasn't even getting into the home!

Another disconnected duct!

The dryer vent was found to be just hanging in the crawl. Spitting hot/humid air and lint into the crawl space.

Look at the difference!!! It doesn't even look like the same crawl space.

A great picture of the 20 mil CleanSpace vapor barrier and how nicely the ducts were hung in the crawl.

Her's a shot of the dryer vent now allowing the hot/humid air out of the home. Another great job by the team at Comfenergy!!!
