Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

This Round Hill VA home had issues with condensation forming on the HVAC ducts due to temperature variations in the rooms the ducts were passing through.  This issue is known as "Duct Sweating" and can lead to stained or damaged drywall as well as mildew or mold growth.  After calling us to help with their home concerns, our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro went out to perform a whole home inspection and advised on having the HVAC ducts encapsulated with spray foam.  This service would protect the conditioned air travelling through the ducts and reduce the chance of any future duct sweating.  

This before/after slection comes from Bealton, VA. The room on the other side of this wall was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Thermal imagery from the room side showed a ton of thermal bridging which was making the room uncomfortable.  Comfenergy used a closed cell spray foam to solve the problem.

This Broad Run, VA homeowner was suffering from cold floors and kitchen cabinets. Upon a full comfort evalution by Carl Depner, he found there to be cold air coming through the back of the home.  This cold air would travle beneath the floors above and even into the kitchen cabinets.

Closed cell spray foam was used to perfect the air and thermal boundary to make the floors and kitchen cabinets warm again!

This before and after shoto series shows a vertical wall adjacent to an attic.  Poorly insulated walls like this can allow hot air from the attic to radiate through the drywall and heat the room on the other side.  Closed cell spray foam keeps the heat away from the wall and protects it from heating the room on the other side!!

A great way to improve the comfort and energy performance of a home is to apply Spray Foam to the rim joists at the top of the basement foundation walls.  This space can often allow outside air and temperatures to impact the home.  Cold or hot air from outside can cause temperature fluctuations and can carry in dust and allergens that can impact the air quality in the home.  50% of the air inside of a home comes from the lowest points of open air access in the home so creating a low point that is not in or near a basement can keep moisture out as well.  Our production crew applied Spray Foam to this entire basement at all of the rim joists and created and air seal along with better insulation.
