Basements are naturally moist and gross. Most people don't even like doing anything down there and they leave it untouched if not only to use it for a laundry room / storage space. This basement had some previous moisture issues and once those were taken care of, we were able to properly insulate the basement walls making the entire home more comfortable and energy efficient.

This house had a couple crawlspaces underneath their home and they complained of the rooms above the crawlspaces being very cold. The best way to resolve these issues was to completely encapsulate the crawlspace. These photos are the before and after of the spray foam portion of the encapsulation process.
This homeowner was suffering from extreme cold in the winter and paying a lot to heat the home to try to make it warmer but it wasn't happening to their liking. There were several things that we did for this home to help it be more energy efficient and save the homeowner on the heating and cooling costs. We insulated the attic with our TruSoft cellulose insulation made of recycled newspaper, which is mixed with borate - a natural Earth element that is flame retardant, as well as in the walls of the home.
First, before we added the insulation to the attic, we made sure to air seal the roof to ensure a tight seal where the air the homeowner was paying to heat and cool wasn't escaping. We then did an open blowing of several inches of our TruSoft Cellulose.
