This family in Milwaukie, OR wanted their family room to be more comfortable. Our Energy Consultant visited and determined what was making that room uncomfortable: air was leaking through from the home into the attic through many gaps. The places with a lot of gaps were around the can lights. Our crew installed can light covers and sealed around them (see AFTER photo) to help prevent leaks.
The family told us their heating bill dropped dramatically and the family room is much more comfortable now.
The couple in this SW Portland, OR home has lived there a few years and experiencing cold floors in the winter. They chose our company to encapsulate the crawl space with the drainage matting and our heaviest 20-mil liner on top. Foundation walls were sealed with spray foam. They also chose to install the SmartSump sump pump system and the SaniDry dehumidifier under the house.
This encapsulation system has made their floors warmer in the winter!
This owner worked with us to solve two issues: mold and cold floors. She didn’t know there was mold growing, but she did know the air quality inside her home was not good as it smelled weird.
About 50% of the air she was breathing in her home (it’s a one-story house) was coming from the moldy crawl space!
Our insulation crew started by dealing with the crawl space mold: Mold-X was applied to neutralize the mold and discourage it from re-growing. They then applied three inches of closed-cell spray foam to the underfloor. The spray foam seals cracks and crevices so the air cannot flow into the house and make the floors cold. It also surpasses fiberglass batts—critters like to nest in fiberglass, but cannot in spray foam.
She tells us her home does not smell anymore!
This attic in Washougal, WA was missing a lot of insulation on the attic deck, making the home below uncomfortably cold. After removing the old insulation and sealing the air leaks, our insulation team blew in TruSoft™ cellulose to the Higher R-60 level.
This couple recently moved in to their house near Camas, WA and are very cold in it; it has high ceilings and wooden floors.
Our energy consultant found little to no insulation in the attic! (see BEFORE photo) Without a blanket of insulation in your attic, you can’t keep in the air you are paying to heat.
Our trained insulation crew blew in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation to the higher R-60 insulating level. They are now much more comfortable in their new home.
