These Binghamton, NY homeowners had done some renovations to the first floor of their home but wanted to explore what other options were available. Our free Home Comfort Evaluation showed them how little insulation they had on the second and third floors of the home. We proposed several things to the home to make it more comfortable for the homeowners, as well as more energy efficient. We proposed to spray foam the roof deck of the attic, as well as do an open blow of TruSoft cellulose insulation, as well as dense packing the walls of the home from the exterior.
For the attic slopes, and gable end walls of the attic, we proposed to spray our Closed Cell Spray Foam. We sprayed 4 inches of our Closed Cell spray foam to the walls of the attic.
This Binghamton, NY homeowner was in the midst of turning a portion of his basement into a second bathroom. This basement had a sump pump that wasn't adequate enough to get all the water off the floors of the basement, leaving puddles in places.
We installed our Basement to Beautiful panels in the area (10' x 15') of where the bathroom was going to be. The rest of the basement walls were sprayed with 2" of our Closed Cell Spray Foam, as well as 2" of Closed cell spray foam in the rim joists. The sump pump was also replaced with our SuperSump Basement pumping system, which includes a condensate pump with it to expel excess moisture on it's own into the outdoors. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona to keep the moisture levels down in the basement.
This Binghamton, NY homeowner wanted to ensure he'd still have storage space in his attic, but also was determined to have good insulation.
We were certainly able to fulfill that accomplish list item for him by building a storage deck in the attic. We custom built a storage deck and damming, and once the walls were in place we did an open blow of our Cellulose Insulation so the attic could still be used for storage.
These Binghamton, NY homeowners had converted their walk up attic to accomodate their growing family. Unfortunately, they faced the dilemma of an attic space that was very hot in the summer months and very cold in the winter months. The rest of the home had very minimal amounts of insulation, with the family room sitting over the garage which was quite chilly for the occupants of the home.
We dense packed the walls, slopes and the floor of the family room. We also used 4 inches of our Closed Cell Spray Foam to the side attics of the home for better insulation - these walls can easily be finished with sheetrock or other paneling to create a living space.
This Binghamton, NY homeowner was having an issue with his exterior walls and had recently had a new roof put on, and wondered if the home was insulated enough. Our free Home Comfort Evaluation showed that there was no airsealing done to the attic space, but the attic had 13 inches of cellulose insulation in there. In order to properly air seal, we'd have to vaccum out the existing cellulose insulation.
Once we had all the cellulose insulation removed, we were able to properly air seal the attic. This includes sealing around the top plates, wire penetrations and light fixtures. We then did an open blow of 15 inches of fresh cellulose insulation.
