Leaky ducts and an under-insulated attic in Red Bank, NJ, were causing year-round discomfort, higher energy bills, and poor indoor air quality for this homeowner. Conditioned air was escaping through the supply ducts, while dirty attic air was being drawn into the return ducts. To resolve these issues, we encapsulated the ducts with SilverGlo foam boards sealed with ZypFoam, air-sealed the attic floor, and added R-60 cellulose insulation for maximum comfort and energy savings. We also installed wooden retaining walls and a catwalk to provide easy access to the mechanicals.
Cold winter air and hot, humid summer air were entering this Red Bank, NJ crawl space, causing moisture issues and uncomfortable floors above. We insulated the foundation walls with rigid foam board, installed a vapor barrier, and spray foamed the rim joists and sill plate to help seal and protect the space. The result is a cleaner, healthier, and more comfortable crawl space year-round.
In the basement of this Red Bank, NJ home, a small crawl space was allowing cold air into the home during the winter, contributing to cold floors, while summer humidity created moisture concerns. We removed the thin wood covering from the crawl space ceiling to prepare the area for encapsulation. By encapsulating the crawl space, spray foaming the rim joists, and installing rigid foam board along the foundation walls, we can help reduce cold floors, control moisture and humidity, and improve comfort throughout the home.
Looking at this attic in Red Bank, NJ, the before picture clearly highlights the need for our expertise. The homeowner required our assistance in properly insulating the attic, as they were struggling to maintain comfortable temperatures during both hot summers and cold winters. Given the leaking ducts, insufficient insulation, and lack of air sealing in the attic, it's no surprise the homeowner was experiencing such discomfort. Fortunately, as experts in our field, we addressed the issues by fixing the duct leaks, air sealing the attic, and installing TruSoft cellulose insulation up to the optimal R-value of R-60. These improvements ensure that the homeowner now enjoys a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
This attic in Red Bank, NJ, suffered from poor insulation, leaky ducts, and a lack of storage, leading to discomfort and high energy bills. To resolve these issues, we installed a SuperDeck system with 4-inch foam boards on the attic floor, topped with wooden decking for both insulation and storage. The ductwork was encapsulated with 2-inch foam boards, all gaps were sealed to eliminate air leaks, and blown-in cellulose insulation was added to the remaining attic space. To further improve efficiency, a David Lewis Hatch cover was installed to seal the attic entrance. The result is a well-insulated, functional attic that boosts comfort and lowers energy costs.
