Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

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.  

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 home in Haymarket, Virginia has a unique architecture for the area and the turrets you see ont he front of the house were too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.

Comfenergy used spray foam to fix the problem.

This before photo shows a vertical wall in an attic insulated with fiberglass insulation. This fiberglass allows hot/cold air to travel through it and touch the drywall, thus allowing the heat and/or cold to transfer into the living space.

The after picture shows the fiberglass removed and newly insulated using closed cell spray foam.  This builds a great protective thermal and air barrier and makes the top floor of this home cooler in the summer months.

This homeowner in Leesburg VA was experiencing comfort issues in several areas of their home.  They called us to try and find out why.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Carl went out to do a full home inspection and see what options we could offer to help make the home more comfortable.  Along with insulation improvements in several other areas, Carl determined that it would be helpful to insulate the metal laundry chute running out of the laundry room and through the attic.  This was due to excessive drafts in the laundry room and uneven temperatures compared to other areas of the home.  Our production team prepared the area and then used spray foam to cover and seal the laundry chute.
