Closed-Cell Spray Foam Solves Two Issues Under This Canby, OR Home
The homeowner knew about issues under his house in the crawl space and contacted us for an estimate. One main concern was the ductwork that was leaking and didn’t have tight insulation covering it (see BEFORE photo).
The best solution here to re-insulate the underfloor plus seal and insulate the ductwork is closed-cell spray foam! Our insulation installation crew started with removal of the old insulation. The crew then sprayed the underfloor and the ductwork with closed-cell spray foam (see AFTER photo).
This longer-term, more permanent solution instead of fiberglass will make this home more energy efficient plus animals do not use spray foam for nesting as they like to do with fiberglass.
Pole Barn in Aurora, OR Insulated with Spray Foam
The owner of this barn near Aurora, OR wanted to turn the existing pole barn into a work studio.
If he had chosen fiberglass batting, he would still have been cold in this building as the sides are metal. Closed-cell spray foam is a great, sturdy, longer-term solution as it seals the surfaces it is applied to.
Underfloor of Lincoln City, OR Home Spray Foamed So Critters Can't Use Fiberglass As Nesting Material
This homeowner knew there were issues in their Lincoln City, OR home’s crawl space as their floors were not comfortable. Our Energy Consultant investigated and found that the insulation was falling down! (see Before photo) It looked like animals had been under there—they do like to rip down fiberglass and use it as nesting material. The homeowner chose to have the underside of the floor spray foamed with closed-cell spray foam (see After photo). This will help make the floors warmer in the house and also not give critters any nesting material.
Attic in Dayton, OR Insulated with Blown-in Cellulose
This “Before” photo shows how the attic space had no insulation—no wonder the rooms below were cold! Our insulation crew blew in TruSoft™ cellulose to the R-38 level. Besides making a nice “blanket” in the attic (see “After” photo), it will also have the added benefit of deterring rodents from nesting. This cellulose is treated with borate, and animals do not like to be in it.
Ductwork Under Home in West Linn, OR Ecapsulated with Spray Foam
This West Linn, OR homeowner wanted her ductwork to be less leaky to help increase the efficiency of her home’s heating system. Spry foam is the best solution, as it seals leaks (ductwork likes to be leaky) and is a longer-term and more effective solution rather than wrapping them with fiberglass.
