In Ocean Grove, NJ, this crawlspace was allowing hot summer air and cold winter air to enter the home due to uninsulated foundation walls, exposed rim joists, and the absence of a vapor barrier. As a result, the homeowners experienced cold floors, drafts, warped flooring, and excess moisture and humidity throughout the crawlspace. To address these issues, we sealed and insulated the foundation walls with rigid foam board insulation, spray-foamed the rim joists, and installed a durable vapor barrier. The result is a healthier, more energy-efficient crawlspace that helps control moisture, improve comfort, and create more consistent temperatures in the living spaces above.
High humidity, sweaty ductwork, cold drafts, and chilly floors were making this Ocean Grove, NJ home uncomfortable year-round. During our free home evaluation, we discovered the crawl space was poorly insulated and allowing outside air and moisture to enter. To solve the problem, we sealed the crawl space vents, installed rigid foam insulation with a radiant barrier on the foundation walls, added a durable vapor barrier to block ground moisture, and spray-foamed the exposed rim joists and sill plates to create a complete air seal. The result is a clean, dry, energy-efficient crawl space that helps improve comfort, air quality, and overall home performance.
A homeowner in Long Branch, NJ, had a small little attic that was poorly insulated. With inadequate insulation this owner was dealing with cold and drafty rooms in the winter and stuffy and hot rooms in the summer. After inspecting the attic we also noticed the attic was not properly air sealed. We air sealed the attic floors, sealed any leaky ducts, used wooden retaining walls and sealed the wooden decking while blowing-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to the optimal R-60 value. The homeowner now has a properly insulated attic, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.
A homeowner in Long Branch, NJ was dealing with cold floors and drafty areas along the first-floor exterior walls. After inspecting the home, we found the crawl space was not properly insulated, and the rim joists and sill plate had been left unsealed, allowing cold air to leak into the lower level and cause discomfort. To address the issue, we encapsulated the crawl space with a vapor barrier, installed rigid foam insulation on the crawl space walls, and sealed and insulated the rim joists and sill plate with spray foam. We also air sealed and insulated the attic to help reduce the stack effect. These improvements eliminated the cold floors and drafts, resulting in a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
