Home Insulation & Air Sealing Contractor in Manasquan, NJ

In Manasquan, NJ, during our free home evaluation, we identified leaky ducts in the basement. These ducts are not only leaking conditioned air but also drawing in poor air quality from the basement into the return side of the unit. This circulation during the summer results in conditioned air escaping, placing extra strain on the AC unit and increasing cooling costs for the homeowner. The AC unit runs constantly, leading to fluctuating temperatures and discomfort for the owner. We specialize in fixing uncomfortable homes to maximize the homes comfort and lower energy bills.

This homeowner in Manasquan, NJ, had a vented crawl space causing cold floors and potential moisture issues. Vented crawl spaces allow outside air to seep in, leading to cold floors and increased moisture. To solve this, we blocked the vents using SilverGlo foam boards and sealed them with either sealant or spray foam. We also sealed the entrance frame and spray-foamed the rim joists to further prevent air leakage. Finally, we encapsulated the walls and floor with a 20-mil thick liner to stop moisture from rising through the floor and prevent outside air from entering the porous cinder block walls. Since the interior wall is not exposed to the outside, additional insulation or a vapor barrier wasn't necessary. Now, the homeowner has a fully encapsulated and sealed crawl space, resulting in a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

While inspecting a homeowner's attic in Manasquan, NJ, we discovered inadequate insulation and a lack of attic baffles for proper ventilation, and the owner wanted to use the attic for storage. To address these issues, we encapsulated the supply ducts with SilverGlo boards to reflect heat, installed attic baffles between the roof rafters for better ventilation, and laid four-inch SilverGlo boards on the attic floor, covering them with plywood or wooden planks for insulation and storage space. Finally, we built wooden retaining walls to contain the TruSoft cellulose insulation we blew in, achieving an R-60 value. The result is a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

In Manasquan, NJ, a homeowner experienced discomfort and energy loss due to insufficient insulation in the exterior walls. Many older homes lack proper insulation, using porous fiberglass that allows air flow, compromising effectiveness. To address this, we enhance insulation by removing the siding, drilling holes in between the cavity walls, and injecting TruSoft cellulose insulation through a dense-packing technique. We then seal the holes, reinstall the siding, significantly reducing air leakage for improved comfort and energy efficiency.

We are working in a homeowner’s crawl space at Manasquan, NJ and found it to be a mess. Our customer’s crawl space is lacking the proper insulation and has an exposed dirt floor. This particular crawl space had very little room to work in but our crew always finds a way to accomplish each project.

Our team spray foamed the rim joist to prevent unwanted air from entering the house. With the exposed foundational walls, we fastened our SilverGlo foam insulation panels to help insulate the crawl space. Next we spiked down our TerraBlock foam insulation mats to the ground to help insulate the floors. The heavy duty 20 mil thick CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation liners is installed across the floor with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor. Finally we use our ZypFoam to seal the seams of the SilverGlo and of the CleanSpace liner.

Modern Modular Homes are not created equally.  When inspecting this Modern Modular House in Manasquan, NJ, we found poorly placed insulation throughout the home.  By further inspecting, we found discolored fiberglass insulation.  This is a clear indication that air is circulating through the fiberglass insulation by the open Soffits, cavities, and gaps between the walls and ceilings.

With Modern Modular Homes some open Soffits, cavities and gaps are left unsealed by the manufacturer.  Our team was able to diagnose this issue and eliminate the air from seeping through the fiberglass insulation.

We followed the dirty fiberglass insulation to discover where the gaps and cavities were located.  We simply found the seams and sealed all open seams with our Orange ZypFoam to fully eliminate any air leakage from theses soffits.  Our crew did not have to remove the fiberglass insulation as the insulation was up to code.  The homeowner’s results are the lowering heating and cooling costs.

When our crew inspected this Modern Modular Cape Cod house in Manasquan, NJ, we found the homeowners attic ducts were leaking from the seams.  In addition to leaking ducts, we discovered the homeowners exposed ducts were radiating excessive amounts of heat from the attic.

This caused tremendous amount of energy to be wasted during the summers and winters.  Just think about what happens in the winter, blowing heated air through uninsulated ducts located in a frigid attic.  In the summer, you're blowing chilled air through the same uninsulated ductwork that's been heated to about 120 degrees or higher.

To solve the ducts leaky seams our team used Orange ZypFoam to eliminate all air from seeping out of the existing ductwork.  By encapsulating the existing duct work with our SilverGlo foam insulation boards we can reduce the ducts from radiating unwanted heat throughout the house.  To encapsulate the ducts with our SilverGlo foam insulation boards, we frame out the ductwork and install each panel or board over the ductworks outer surfaces.  Finally using the Orange ZypFoam we can seal the seams of the SilverGlo to eliminate any unwanted airflow and/or excessive heat/cold.

This Modern Modular Cape Cod house in Manasquan, NJ, had uncomfortable rooms during the summers and winters.  On the 2^nd floor an overhang over the front porch created the room to overheat during the summers and become too cold in the winters.  After inspecting the attic and kneewall spaces we found the Modular Cape Cod house wasn’t air sealed and insulated properly.

This can be a common flaw with Modular Cape Cod Homes because of their prebuilt construction or modularity.  What tend to happen is the seals and gaps of the Cape Cod house never get properly fitted together which creates gaps and air leaks from soffits into poorly insulated kneewall spaces.

To eliminate hot rooms in the summer and cold drafty rooms in the winter, we installed our SilverGlo foam insulation panels over the existing expanding spray foam that’s on the bottom of the rafters in the kneewall spaces.  We also install SilverGlo foam insulation boards to the ceiling joist bays and use Orange ZypFoam to air seal the SilverGlo foam insulation.
