This home in Spotsylvania VA was too hot in the summer months. Our Sales Professional Eric was able to identify a need for a radiant barrier in the attic to help keep the external sun rays from heating up the attic space. This will keep the attic space cooler and let the air seal and insulation that was also done, have a more effective impact on the comfort of the home.
This before photo shows a vertical wall in an attic insulated with fiberglass insulation. This fiberglass allows hot/cold air to travel through it and touch the drywall, thus allowing the heat and/or cold to transfer into the living space.
The after picture shows the fiberglass removed and newly insulated using closed cell spray foam. This builds a great protective thermal and air barrier and makes the top floor of this home cooler in the summer months.
This Leesburg, VA homeowner had mold growing in their vented attic assembly that was causing the family to develop allergies and get sick very often. Comfenergy discovered this attic mold and treated it with MoldX-2 before air sealing, insulating and providing other services.
These pictures ar eof the mold covered roof joists before and after being treated by Comfenergy with MoldX-2.
This homeowner in Leesburg VA was experiencing comfort issues in several areas of their home. They called us to try and find out why. Our Home Performance Sales Pro Carl went out to do a full home inspection and see what options we could offer to help make the home more comfortable. Along with insulation improvements in several other areas, Carl determined that it would be helpful to insulate the metal laundry chute running out of the laundry room and through the attic. This was due to excessive drafts in the laundry room and uneven temperatures compared to other areas of the home. Our production team prepared the area and then used spray foam to cover and seal the laundry chute.
Skylights are beautiful, but can increase heat loss/gain tremendously, just like in this Leesburg, VA home. Especially if they are not properly air sealed and insulated on the back side of them in the attic above.
