Before & After Photos

This attic was prepped for fresh insulation and the entire attic floor air sealed with new baffles put into place.  While an attic needs to 'breathe' (the baffles make sure soffit vents breathe) you don't want conditioned air from your home to leak through the ceiling, which is why air sealing the attic floor (all the gaps and wiring) is such a crucial part of the process.  

A little ZypFoam™ can go a long way!  This customer was experiencing mold for the second time, and upon inspection we found while the ductwork for a bathroom fan was insulated, the entry point through the gable wall was not sealed and this was allowing warm, humid air from the bathroom (all the steam from showers etc.) to escape to the attic.  The localized area is clearly visible in the photos.  As you can see, we were able to spray treat but most importantly we took care of the underlying cause so it won't return.

  Mold was discovered in this attic due to improper ventilation after having us out to do a insulation proposal.  Ducts for bath fans were blowing into attic and not out the roof.  Also soffits were blocked from previous install of fiberglass insulation.  Our company remediated using RMR-86 and RMR-141 to remove the staining and mold and added all new baffles after removing the debris from soffit vents.  We topped off insulation with TruSoft Cellulose blown in to a R-60.

Our customer called for they had mold in the attic. Once assessed the insulation was also in terrible condition. Our customer wanted a clean and healthy attic. We removed, air seal added new baffles and cellulose insulation. Customer was very pleased we could do all repairs and give he a clean and healthy attic.

Our customer was preparing before she put her home on market. Her attic had mold and she wanted to upgrade her insulation which adds value to her home sale. Our customer was happy to have a healthy and efficient attic for her new home buyer.
