Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Howell, NJ, was dealing with an uncomfortable and energy-inefficient home due to poor insulation in the basement. The porous cinder block walls and exposed rim joists were allowing outside air to seep in, making the entire home less comfortable. To address this, we installed Foamax insulation boards directly onto the cinder block walls, providing effective insulation and reducing air infiltration. Additionally, we spray foamed the exposed rim joists to seal off any remaining air leaks. These straightforward solutions can significantly improve your home's comfort and energy efficiency.

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.

This sump pump in Farmingdale, NJ was held together by duct tape and was no longer triggering itself when it needed to pump out water of the pit in this crawlspace. By installing a brand new SmartSump we were able to ensure that the water pooling below the crawlspace will not affect the foundation and will be pumped out of the house. Paired along with a full crawlspace encapsulation this customer has nothing to worry about with moisture affecting their home or their indoor air quality.

In Farmingdale, NJ, a homeowner's rim joists in the basement were poorly insulated and exposed, allowing outside air to leak into the house. Air sealing the rim joists is crucial because, in the winter, outside air can enter and cause cold floors. Depending on the seasons, fluctuating temperatures can infiltrate the basement or crawl space, creating drafts and uncomfortable rooms. These temperature fluctuations can also lead to moisture buildup in the crawl space and basement, resulting in indoor air quality issues. By simply spray foaming the rim joists, we can make the home more comfortable and energy-efficient by maintaining a thermal barrier between the outside and inside of the house.

This skylight was letting too much air leak into this customer's home! As you can see in the first picture the fiberglass insulation is all dirty and hanging off of the vertical framing. All that stands between the inside of the house and the attic is that thin piece of sheet rock, which is not stopping the movement of air at all. To solve this issue, Dr. Energy Saver used spray foam to cover the entire skylight. Because it is an expanding foam that stops the movement of air, spraying it around the entire skylight completely seals it from the attic!
