Dave Hoh's Home Comfort & Energy Experts Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Tinton Falls, NJ contacted us because their house had comfort issues. The owner expressed that winter was fast approaching. Our customer wanted relief from the cold drafty rooms and the cold floors.

To resolve the homeowner’s comfort issues we needed to create a thermal barrier in the crawl space. By spray foaming the rim joists we have eliminated unwanted air from leaking into the crawl space. Next we installed our SilverGlo rigid insulation panels along the exterior foundational walls. Notice in the after picture on the left side, the concrete wall is exposed because this is an interior wall. We then install our CleanSpace Encapsulation system to the ground and fasten the liner to the edge of the walls. After we use our orange ZypFoam sealant to seal the seams of the SilverGlo insulation panels we spray foamed any exposed exterior walls and seams of the liner.

The homeowner now enjoys a crawl space that now has a thermal barrier from the outside air and creates a much more comfortable and energy efficient home.

A homeowner in Eatontown, NJ had a cantilever that was not properly insulated. The cantilever was leaking air into the house creating cold drafts in the winter and hot stuffy air during the summer. When our team of experts inspected the cantilever we found the insulation was inadequate, did not fill the bay, and could not stop the air flow.

Using our 4” thick SilverGlo foam board insulation we block each joist bay. Each block is sealed in with expanding foam. We have now completely blocked outside air from leaking into the home. Finally, we installed a 4” thick SilverGlo insulation board against the underside of the floor deck and sealed with foam.

This homeowner now has a properly insulated cantilever that will provide a more comfortable and energy efficient home.

A homeowner in Eatontown, NJ had a conditioned room in the attic. After insulating the rest of the attic and kneewalls our team began to remove the old fiberglass insulation. Our team created a nice thermal barrier around the conditioned room. Next we use our orange ZypFoam sealant to seal the devils triangle floor. Finally once the devils triangle is air sealed we will blow-in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. Now we have a thermal barrier to help insulate the conditioned room in the attic from all sides.

This homeowner now has a properly insulated room in the attic that will provide a more comfortable and energy efficient home.

Leaky ducts and poor insulation left this Tinton Falls, NJ, home uncomfortably cold in winter and unbearably warm in summer. We addressed this by encapsulating the ducts with SilverGlo foam boards. Any remaining gaps and leaks were sealed with orange ZypFoam sealant, effectively eliminating air leaks. The newly insulated ducts now efficiently carry conditioned air at the proper temperature. This prevents energy loss to the unconditioned attic and reduces exposure to extreme temperature fluctuations. Finally, we installed TruSoft cellulose insulation to an optimal R-60 value and ensured proper attic ventilation with baffle vents. The result is a more comfortable, energy-efficient home. The heating and cooling systems no longer have to work overtime.

Before:

This image shows our customer’s crawl space exposed dirt floor and the lack of proper insulation. The homeowner stored some old paint cans in the crawl space with open bags of concrete mix and a few other miscellaneous items. With excessive heat in the summers, these exposed paint cans have created hazardous fumes or chemicals. We also have exposed earth in the crawl space which emits radiant gasses.

After:

To complete this crawl space we used our CleanSpace Encapsulation System with our TerraBlock Floor Insulation and our SilverGlo Board Insulation. The CleanSpace Encapsulation System now eliminates any radon gasses from emitting from the exposed earth which is now covered with the CleanSpace liner. Our CleanSpace liner is 20 mil which provides a durable protective layer to the crawl space. Using our Orange ZypFoam we sealed the seams or any gaps of the SilverGlo Board Insulation. The SilverGlo board insulation are fastened to the foundaional walls to help radiate heat back to the source.
