This Binghamton, NY homeowner had an oil furnace that was no longer working, and he couldn't afford a new furnace so he was running 3 natural gas heaters in the home mounted to the walls, and a basement that constantly got water inside it. The homeowner was running a dehumidifier to try to prevent mold growth due to the humidity. The homeowner wanted to maintain the ability to store things in the attic space, which had 3 inches of fiberglass batts at the time of our Home Comfort Evaluation.
We proposed to air seal the attic space - sealing around all light fixtures, wire penetrations, gaps, and top plates and adding 12 inches of Cellulose Insulation. We built a storage deck for this customer, which was custom built, to ensure he would still have adequate storage space without sacrificing insulation.
This Binghamton, NY home had an addition to the home that had a plumbing leak which made the ceiling collapse.
We proposed to gut the rest of the ceiling and spray 4 inches of our Closed Cell Spray Foam to the roof deck to insulate and spray our thermal fire proof paint over the spray foamed roof deck.
This homeowner acquired the home after the passing of a family member, and the older mobile home needed some extra help in keeping the homeowner and her children warm during the winter months.
There were a few areas underneath the mobile home that needed some repair before the work was done. The guys sprayed 2 inches of our closed cell spray foam to the underside of the mobile home.
What remained of the old fiberglass insulation in this Binghamton, NY home was in pretty bad shape.
In this case, the best solution was an open blow of 14 inches of cellulose insulation. Along with air sealing, we were really able to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of this home.
This Binghamton, NY home had no insulation in its main attic.
The attic was air sealed and 3 inches of closed cell foam was applied. This attic is now well insulated and no longer a source of conditioned air loss.
