Cellulose Dense Pack in Bare Walls in Middletown, NJ

This family was newly renovating their second floor when they contacted Dr. Energy Saver about possible insulation solutions for their second floor's exterior walls.  Dr. Energy was able to hang insulweb, insulation webbing onto the walls wooden framing.  This allowed for the crew to fill the bays with insulation even before the homeowners finish their current renovations.  Now, the other contractors can just hang sheetrock over the insulweb.

Putting Sheetrock over Insulated Walls in Middletown, NJ

After the completion of the construction in their home, this couple was kind enough to let us take some finished, post construction work to complete our photo series. The dense-packed walls are now covered with normal Sheetrock, painted, and they are now fully insulated and offering sound relief inside of those rooms from the busy street outside.

Attic Insulation and Storage Deck in Middletown Township, NJ

A homeowner in Middletown Township, NJ had cold and hot rooms in their house. When inspecting their home we found old fiberglass insulation that did next to nothing to insulate their attic.

Our team removed all the old insulation and sealed the seams or gaps of the attic floor with our orange ZypFoam. We then sprayed expanding foam on any leaky ducts to eliminate air from seeping out of the seams or gaps. Next our crew built retaining dams along the attic floor to help keep the blown-in insulation in place. Using our TruSoft Cellulose insulation we dense pack underneath the wooden planks or plywood floors. Finally our team can blow-in the rest of our TruSoft insulation into the attics joist bay floor and use our orange ZypFoam to seal the rest of the attics seams or storage decking.

This customer now has a home with comfortable rooms and a properly insulated attic that will cut the costs of our homeowner’s energy bills.

Insulating Unfinished Basement Walls in Middletown Township, NJ

A homeowner in Middletown Township, NJ needed our help to properly insulate their unfinished basement. With an unfinished basement the owner was having difficulties keeping their basement comfortable. Also the homeowner was experiencing cold floors above the basement which made the house feel even more uncomfortable.

We removed the fiberglass insulation and installed our patented “Basement to Beautiful Panels” to the basement walls. Our Basement to Beautiful Panels is made from our exclusive SilverGlo foam insulation panels. The foam is infused with graphite for a 24% increased insulation value over standard EPS foam. Metal studs are built into the panels, but the studs do not go through the foam to the cold side, so there is no thermal bridging. Electric chases in the panels allow an electrician to wire outlets, switches, etc at any time in the future.

Our team also used spray foam on the basement rim joists to block any unwanted air from leaking into the basement. We used a wall cap molding or we spray foamed the open tops of the block walls or concrete walls. Once the Basement Beautiful Panels are installed the owner can now finish the basement by installing sheetrock over the Basement Beautiful Panels. The after picture shows the project still in progress.

This customer now has a finished basement that is properly insulated, comfortable, and we solved the cold floors above the basement.

Upgrading Fiberglass to Cellulose Insulation in Middletown Township, NJ

A homeowner in Middletown Township, NJ, lacked proper insulation, causing discomfort, sweating ducts, moisture buildup and more. The unsealed attic led to energy loss as conditioned air leaked out. We resolved these issues by removing old insulation, sealing leaks, and filling gaps with ZypFoam sealant. After air sealing the attic, we installed cellulose insulation to an R-Value of R-60. Now, the homeowner enjoys a comfortable, energy-efficient home.
