Winter is coming and it’s getting colder! This customer in Red Bank, NJ had some cold rooms last winter and an uncomfortable house. When our team inspected the owner’s attic they found old fiberglass insulation poorly insulating the homeowner’s attic. Unfortunately, this customer knows all too well that a poorly insulated attic means an uncomfortable home and higher fuel/electric bills.
First our team spray foams the rim joists then installs our Foamax insulation boards on the underside of the roof deck to create a thermal barrier. Using our orange ZypFoam sealant our crew seals the gaps and seems of the Foamax insulation and air seals the attic. Finally we dense pack behind the Foamax, blowing-in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation in between the joist bay walls.
The homeowner now enjoys a much more comfortable and energy efficient home.
Leaky ducts and an under-insulated attic in Red Bank, NJ, were causing year-round discomfort, higher energy bills, and poor indoor air quality for this homeowner. Conditioned air was escaping through the supply ducts, while dirty attic air was being drawn into the return ducts. To resolve these issues, we encapsulated the ducts with SilverGlo foam boards sealed with ZypFoam, air-sealed the attic floor, and added R-60 cellulose insulation for maximum comfort and energy savings. We also installed wooden retaining walls and a catwalk to provide easy access to the mechanicals.
Cold winter air and hot, humid summer air were entering this Red Bank, NJ crawl space, causing moisture issues and uncomfortable floors above. We insulated the foundation walls with rigid foam board, installed a vapor barrier, and spray foamed the rim joists and sill plate to help seal and protect the space. The result is a cleaner, healthier, and more comfortable crawl space year-round.
In the basement of this Red Bank, NJ home, a small crawl space was allowing cold air into the home during the winter, contributing to cold floors, while summer humidity created moisture concerns. We removed the thin wood covering from the crawl space ceiling to prepare the area for encapsulation. By encapsulating the crawl space, spray foaming the rim joists, and installing rigid foam board along the foundation walls, we can help reduce cold floors, control moisture and humidity, and improve comfort throughout the home.
