Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

This home in Oakton Virginia had high energy bills from constantly running the heating and cooling system for the home at different times of year.  After a free home performance evaluation it was determined to be partially due to the HVAC duct system. Metal duct work ran through the attic.  In the summer this attic could get up to 130 degrees and in the winter the temperature could drop to 10 degrees.  Pumping hot air through a cold metal duct in the winter resulted in the air cooling as it travelled through the ducts and not being able to heat the rooms of the home as well as needed.  Pumping cold air through a hot metal duct system in the summer resulted in air that was not as cold as it needed to be to cool off the rooms in the home.  

Spray foam encapsulation of the duct systems creates and sealed and safe environment for the conditioned air to travel through and helps that air maintain its intended temperature. 

A home owner in Prince William County, VA wanted to make his home more energy efficient. One of the ways that we helped them do this was by converting the attic into an extension of conditioned space. We did this by installing an average of 3 inch thick closed cell spray foam on the roof and the end walls. This creates a super insulated airtight cap on the top of your home to stop air from leaking out. Closed cell spray foam insulation has a leading R-value of R6.5 per inch and adds to the structural integrity of your roof. Converting this attic resulted in lower fuel and energy bills. 

This Great Falls, VA homeonwer was actually a repeat customer.  They were so impressed with what spray foam insulation had done in other areas of their home, that they asked for more now in other areas.

This sunroom in Fairfax, VA was very uncomfortable. Our team spray foamed the ceiling to make this room much more comfortable and energy efficient! 

This home in Fairfax VA had a multiple stage project to make the home more energy efficient and more comfortable.   One step was the encapsulation of the HVAC duct system in the attic with Spray Foam.  The existing ductwork had several holes at the joints where air was allowed to escape, making the HVAC system less efficient and requiring it to work harder and create more conditioned air.  The spray foam covering it protects the air from escaping and keeps attic temperatures from impacting the conditioned (cooled/heated) air travelling inside.  This will reduce the amount of energy used by the HVAC system and allow for better passage to the rooms it was intended to reach.
