This homeowner was concerned with the cold air coming from their walkout basement. Upon inspection by our Certified Home Comfort Advisor specialist, it was discovered there was very little to no insulation in the basement with the exception of some fiberglass batts here and there. Our crew removed the fiberglass batts and sprayed 2 inches of closed cell spray foam into the rim joist, as well as 2 inches of spray foam down the walls of the basement. Since the spray foam was to remain exposed, we also sprayed our fire retardant spray over the foam.
This customer had no insulation in the second story of their home. Our crew dense packed the attic and the walls with TruSoft cellulose. The cellulose is mixed with borate (a natural mineral found in the Earth) which is a fire retardant. This will create a warmer home in the winter for the customer.
This crawl space did not have any insulation, allowing cold air to come through and make the house colder despite using energy to heat the home. By insulating the crawl space, the air is no longer coming through the floors, making the home colder in the winter.
This homeowner had previously utilized sporadic fiberglass insulation within the walls, but was the home was not insulated enough to be saving them on their heating/cooling bills. We were able to remove the siding and cut holes in order for the cellulose hose to fit through. The TruSoft cellulose was then blown in to the walls of the home. The holes were plugged with wooden cedar plugs and sealed before the siding was carefully replaced.
Our crew sealed this attic with 3 inches of closed cell spray foam on the roof deck to insulate this home.
