This homeowner in Avon-by-the-Sea, NJ, needed the attic properly air sealed and insulated to improve comfort and energy efficiency. During our inspection, we found the attic lacked proper air sealing and insulation levels. Our team air sealed the attic, built wooden retaining walls, and installed optimal R-60 cellulose insulation. The homeowner now enjoys a more comfortable, energy-efficient home year-round.
This very small attic in Bradley Beach, NJ has unfortunately been neglected, lacking proper insulation and air sealing. The attic insulation is practically non-existent, leaving the homeowner uncomfortably hot in summers and cold in winters. First things first, we'll start by air sealing the attic using ZypFoam sealant. Once the attic is properly sealed, we'll proceed to install baffle vents to ensure proper ventilation. Finally, we'll construct wooden retaining walls to contain the TruSoft cellulose insulation that we'll blow in to achieve an R-60 rating. With these improvements, the homeowner will enjoy a well-insulated and properly air-sealed attic, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency throughout their home.
A homeowner in Bradley Beach, NJ had a Cape Cod home with a large kneewall that was being used for storage, but the space was not properly insulated for that purpose. As a result, it was also causing cold, drafty rooms in the winter and hot rooms in the summer. To solve the problem, we created a Super Kneewall system for this large area by installing Foamax boards along the roofline and floor joists, dense-packing cellulose insulation behind the Foamax, and sealing all areas with foam to stop air leaks. The upgraded kneewall is now properly insulated for storage while helping create a more comfortable home and lowering energy bills.
During a basement inspection in Bradley Beach, NJ, we found a small crawlspace that had been separated from the basement with a grate at the entrance. Our team noted several issues, including the absence of a vapor barrier, uninsulated cinderblock walls, and exposed rim joists. By installing a durable vapor barrier, insulating the walls with rigid foam board, and spray-foaming the rim joists, we can help reduce moisture intrusion, improve comfort, minimize drafts, and help keep the floors above warmer. Creating a properly sealed and insulated crawlspace helps make the home healthier, more energy efficient, and more comfortable year-round.
This homeowner in Allenhurst, NJ had an attic that was leaking air creating hot rooms in the summer and cold rooms in the winter. We accessed the attic and found fiberglass insulation that was blown-in. Blown-in fiberglass insulation is very porous especially when it is open and exposed. After pulling up the fiberglass insulation we found the attic was not air sealed.
Our team came in and removed the old blown-in fiberglass insulation and began to air seal the attic with orange ZypFoam sealant. We also fixed the ventilation baffles as some were clogged and falling off. Once air sealed and properly ventilated we blew-in TruSoft cellulose insulation. This homeowner now has a properly insulated attic and a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
