Insulation Services Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Lincroft, NJ was dealing with cold floors and uncomfortable first-floor rooms in the winter, while summer brought warm, humid air into the crawlspace, leading to high humidity and condensation. This problem gets worse when ductwork is present, as warm air hitting cooler ducts can cause condensation, mold, rot, odors, and pest activity—while also warming up conditioned air. To fix it, we installed rigid foam board with a radiant barrier along the porous cinder block walls to block moisture and outside air, then sealed all gaps and spray foamed the rim joists, sill plates, and block cavities. The result is a drier crawlspace, improved comfort, and lower energy bills.

This home in Lincroft, NJ has an adjacent wall exposed to extreme attic temperatures, causing rooms to become too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Hot attic air leaks through the adjacent wall into the conditioned space and forces the AC to work harder, while heated air the homeowner pays for escapes into the attic during winter. We installed rigid foam boards with a radiant barrier along the adjacent wall and sealed them with foam sealant to stop attic air from entering and conditioned air from escaping. With conditioned rooms below, we then air-sealed the rest of the attic and blew in TruSoft cellulose insulation to keep outdoor air out and conditioned air in.

See how this customers attic transformed by air sealing and insulating the walls, floor, and bathroom fan vent. Walls are air sealed and insulated with 2" R-13 (resistance to heat flow) reflective radiant foam board. The attic deck was dense packed with cellulose and air sealed, protecting the room below. The bathroom fan that vented out of the roof was allowing cold air into the bathroom through its un-insulated vent pipe, it was covered with R-8 insulation to keep the cool air out of the bathroom.

This family was newly renovating their second floor when they contacted Dr. Energy Saver about possible insulation solutions for their second floor's exterior walls.  Dr. Energy was able to hang insulweb, insulation webbing onto the walls wooden framing.  This allowed for the crew to fill the bays with insulation even before the homeowners finish their current renovations.  Now, the other contractors can just hang sheetrock over the insulweb.

After the completion of the construction in their home, this couple was kind enough to let us take some finished, post construction work to complete our photo series. The dense-packed walls are now covered with normal Sheetrock, painted, and they are now fully insulated and offering sound relief inside of those rooms from the busy street outside.
