This homeowner contacted us and wanted someone to come and see what we could do to make her home more efficient, she made the right call by contacting us! We sent Jack, one of our Home Comfort Specialists, to assess what could be done. After Jack inspected her home, he came to the conclusion that encapsulating the crawlspace and adding insulation to the attic would make a huge difference. We started in the crawlspace by removing the old insulation and any debris that was in the way. Next, we added a new 20mil vapor barrier to help block and moisture from seeping through the ground and into the home. Finally, once the vapor barrier is installed, we spray foam the walls to prevent any moisture seeping though the foundation while also acting as an insulator. We generally spray 2-3 inches on the walls to make sure the crawl is well insulated. Now the crawl is looking good and working to keep her home as efficient as possible.
The homeowner called us weeks after to let us know that she has felt a huge difference and her energy bill was much lower!
Alvi had originally called us in to install new insulation in his attic. While the attic was being completed, Brad, one of our Home Comfort Foreman, was talking the job over with Alvi and while doing that, mentioned that he could go even further to make his home more efficient by spray foaming the rim joist in the basement. He mentioned that the benefit of spray foam is that it completely seals each bay on top of acting as insulation. Alvi's current insulation within the rim joist was old and falling down, so he agreed to make his home even more comfortable by adding it to his job! Brad wasted no time and removed the old insulation and replaced it with the new spray foam! It took around 2 extra hours, but Alvi was very happy with the outcome!
