Eliminating Cold Drafts on the Second Floor in Allenhurst, NJ

This homeowner in Allenhurst, NJ was dealing with cold floors and drafts on the second floor, especially along the back corner and side of the home. Our inspection uncovered a small bump-out with its own attic space that was letting cold air enter through the adjacent walls. By accessing this area, we identified and sealed the leaks by installing rigid foam board with a radiant barrier along the walls and using foam sealant to block unwanted airflow. We then air sealed the remaining attic areas and added blown-in cellulose insulation to achieve the proper R-value. The result is a more comfortable, well-insulated home with improved efficiency and lower energy costs.
