Exposed Leaky Adjoining Wall in a Garage Attic in Howell, NJ

While inspecting the attic above the garage in Howell, NJ, we found that the adjoining wall between the garage and the house was exposed to extreme attic temperatures. Conditioned air was escaping into the unconditioned attic, while unconditioned air was infiltrating the house. As a result, the rooms near the garage became uncomfortably hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. To address this issue, we installed 2-inch foam boards on the adjoining wall and sealed them with foam sealant. This solution effectively stopped the air leaks, enhancing the home's comfort and reducing energy waste.
