Before & After Photos

This customer was suffering from a severe loss of heat in the walls of the home. Upon inspection by our Certified Home Comfort Advisor specialist, it was discovered there is was a severe lack of insulation throughout the home. Some cellulose was sprayed into the attic for insulation, as well as air sealing the rim joists of the home with spray foam as shown here.

A rim joist is essentially what the home sits on (it provides lateral support to the joists) but can end up very drafty without insulation. Here, we used closed cell spray on the rim joists which helped seal from drafty air which was causing the home to be colder in the winter and warmer in the summer.

This home we did blown in TruSoft cellulose insulation. After carefully removing the siding of the home, the crew drilled holes big enough to put the hoses through for the insulation. This before and after photo set shows as the work is about to begin and what it looked like after the job was completed. The holes were plugged with wooden plugs and sealed, then the siding was replaced.

For this home, there was no access to the attic for the crew to spray cellulose insulation. In order to make the attic (and home overall) more comfortable for the homeowner, the shingles from the roof were carefully removed and a hole was cut. The hole was then densely packed with TruSoft Cellulose insulation, and the shingles were replaced once again.

For this homeowner, the crew removed the siding, and carefully drilled holes in order to put the hoses through to utilize the blown cellulose (TruSoft) insulation which is made up of recycled newspapers, cardboard and magazines. It's also mixed with borate, which is naturally found in the Earth. TruSoft is also mixed with a fire retardant for an added safety measure. Once the cellulose is blown in to the walls of the home, cedar wood plugs were put in placed and sealed. The siding was then replaced by the crew as carefully as it was removed to do the installation.
