Before & After Photos

Spray foam insulation is an effective method to protect the air created by your HVAC system and safely deliver it to the rooms of the home it is intended to heat or cool.  

This Occoquan VA home was found to have small amounts of mold behind some existing insulation.  We were tasked with removing the insulation in with the intent to replace it with a better quality product that would bring better results.  Before we could do so we had to treat the small amounts of mold with botanical spray.  It is a food grade mixture that is not harmful to people or pets but will kill and stop the spread of mold if caught early.  Here our technician is administering the botanical spray after the initial removal of the old insulation.  

Before and after photos of a covered front porch in Dunn Loring, VA.The homeowner was allergic to the neighbors dryer sheet odors and they were entering her home through this vented covered front porch.  Nothing a little SilverGlo foam boards and one part foam can't solve!!!

This Lorton, VA homeowner was looking for ways to lower their utility bills.  Comfenergy found a ton of air leakage in the attic allowing the heated and cooled air to leave the home.  This before and after pic set is showing how we air sealed around an air duct that went into the top floor. By closing this gap, we prevent any air travelling between this space. 

This set of before and after photos shows the difference between light, fluffy fiberglass insulation and new TruSoft cellulose insulation in an attic.  Here are the differences you may not know:

1. Fiberglass is more susceptible to something called "wind washing".  In a vented attic assembly wind can blow around in the attic and it can easily pass through the fiberglass.   TruSoft cellulose packs tighter and it's harder for wind to travel through it.

2. Rodents and insects LOVE fiberglass.  They nest in it and make it home.....right above your head.  TruSoft cellulose is chemically washed with a liquid borate which deters rodents and insects by irritating their respiratory system.

3. TruSoft cellulose has a higher R value per inch than fiberglass.

4. TruSoft cellulose is also less succeptible to flame spread than fiberglass as well.....
