This Seaford crawl space had water running through it, after the installation of a drainage system, the crawl space was encapsulated with Spray Foam Insulation.
This crawl space had standing water, mold, a damaged vapor barrier and falling insulation. Our team encapsulated the space with a new vapor barrier, we added spray foam insulation where necessary and installed a dehumidifier and sump pump. Now this crawl space is sure to be mold and water-free!
This attic had existing loose fiberglass insulation with an R-value of 3.2 per inch. This material allows air to easily pass through it and escape into the unconditioned attic and out of the home. For this homeowner, we installed an R-38 of blown-in cellulose insulation. Cellulose is more dense than the loose fiberglass, is 85% recycle material, and is fire retardant due to being manufactured with borate, a substance that deters pests.
The homeowners wanted to focus on insulation and energy efficiency in this area of the attic. The boards and old insulation were removed from the attic, and our team set to work air sealing and insulating the space.
Together, the air sealing and cellulose will reduce conditioned air loss and heat transfer between the living space and the attic. This will leave the homeowners with more comfortable rooms, fewer drafts, and lower energy bills.
To help this Portsmouth, VA homeowner improve the insulation in their attic and resolve uneven temperatures in their home we installed blown-in cellulose insulation in the attic.
