Before & After Photos

This Vienna VA home was uncomfortable and had sweating HVAC ducts.  This happens when the air temperature surrounding the HVAC ducts delivering cooled or heated air to the rooms in your home is  much hotter or colder than the air in the ducts, creating condensation.  The condensation was dripping onto the drywall ceilings and creating water damage.  Our home Performance Sales Pro Eric went out to visit with the homeowner and performed a free Home Performance Inspection.  Eric was able to identify a lack of air seal in the attic that was allowing for conditioned air to leave the rooms of the home below, causing the HVAC system to work harder and create more conditioned air.  He was also able to see that the insulation in the attic was failing and not helping to control the comfort or energy in the home.  Our production team removed the old insulation and then applied Zyp Foam to help air seal the attic before finishing off the project by adding blown in Tru Soft cellulose insulation to cover it all.  

This Burke VA home had an attic that was under insulated, lacked an air seal and had space that the homeowner wanted to use for storage purposes.  We were able to remove the old insulation, air seal the attic with Zyp Foam, build out damning walls to hold back blown in Tru Soft cellulose insulation and finally we installed an attic hatch door cover to keep the conditioned air below from leaking into the attic.  

This homeowner in Burke VA called us because they wanted the top floor of their home to be cooler in the summer.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro did a fill home inspection and was able to identify opportunities in the attic that would help when addressed.  Our production team removed the existing old insulation in order to expose the attic floor.  They used Zyp Foam to air seal all of the small gaps and cracks where conditioned air had been escaping the rooms below.  Controlling the air flow inside of the home will help to reduce the energy costs to cool it in the summer and heat it in the winter.  After air sealing, our team blew in Tru soft cellulose insulation to fill the rest of the attic space and properly insulate the home. 

This Woodbridge VA home had a top floor that was too hot.  During the Home Performance Inspection, our sales pro Pedro discovered an improperly design bathroom exhaust vent.  The vent extended just into the attic and was distributing air from the bathroom into the attic adding unnecessary moisture to the space.  Our team extended the vent and made it properly exhaust air outside of the home.  

Any proper attic insulation project should include air sealing.  Often times we find clients who previously worked with other companies and the only thing they did was add insulation on top of what was originally there.  We make sure to take the extra time and remove existing insulation so that we can use Zyp Foam to seal up all of the gaps, cracks and seams in the attic floor.  This helps prevent conditioned air loss from the rooms below, making homes more comfortable and energy efficient.  After air sealing, we blow in new Tru Soft cellulose insulation.
