Before & After Photos

This Binghamton, NY homeowner wanted to improve the comfortability of his home. Our Home Comfort Evaluation showed there was no insulation in the attic. 

Since the attic was already fully decked for storage, we decided to dense pack the floor of the attic. There is also living space above the garage ceiling, which was quite cold to the homeowner. We dense packed the garage ceiling here as well. We also insulated a crawl space beneath the home with our encapsulation system with laying down 6 mil poly and spraying the walls and rim joists with 2 inches of closed cell spray foam.

This Binghamton, NY customer had done a lot of research prior to his appointment with us. He was very concerned with ice damming on the roof on the south side of the home. The attic had layers of fiberglass batts in the attic flat, and the walls and rim joists lacked any insulation. 

We proposed to remove all of the existing insulation from the attic flat, air seal and do an open blow of cellulose insulation, as well as dense pack the slopes and insulate the rim joists. We began the project by removing all of the fiberglass batts that were in the attic flat and air sealed. This meant sealing around top plates, wire penetrations, light fixtures and small gaps and cracks. We then dense packed the slopes of the attic walls with our Cellulose insulation before doing an open blow in the attic flat. 17 inches of our cellulose insulation was blown into the attic space. We then air sealed and insulated the scuttle access to the attic before spray foaming the rim joists with 3 inches of our Closed Cell Spray Foam to air seal and insulate. 

These new homeowners in Binghamton were wanting to be a little more energy efficient in the attic. We proposed to dense pack the attic, including the stairs, landing and walls leading up to the attic. 

Holes were drilled to fit our hoses for the cellulose insulation. and did a dense pack of our cellulose insulation to the floor of the attic. This allows the attic to still be usable for storage. 

This Binghamton, NY homeowner had recently purchased this home and realized that the crawlspace beneath the bathroom was pretty empty, which was causing the floors to be unbearably cold. 

We installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation System for this home. First, the crew laid down our drainage matting. This has special dimples to allow the water to pass through beneath, then the matting is covered with our TerraBlock, then covered with our 10 mil poly vapor barrier. We then sprayed the walls of the crawlspace with 2 inches of our closed cell spray foam. This also adheres the encapsulation system to the wall so it won't slip down. 

These homeowners in Binghamton were hoping to make their home more comfortable for the winter. The entire home was built over a crawl space so we addressed the crawl space first with our CleanSpace system. We removed the old vapor barrier and the fiberglass from the ceiling of the crawl space. Our drainage matting was laid down first, then our TerraBlock followed by our 6 mil poly vapor barrier. We then sprayed the walls of the crawl space with 3 inches of our closed cell spray foam, which insulates the walls as well as adheres the CleanSpace system to the crawl space.

The crew then turned their focus to the attic space. They removed all of the old fiberglass batts that were old and dirty, air sealed the attic and built a retention dam between the living space and garage of the home. The crew then did an open blow of 14 inches of our cellulose insulation. Now this home is much more comfortable and energy efficient for the owners!
