Humidity in Crawl Space in Belmar, NJ
We are in this homeowner’s crawl space located at Brick, NJ. Normally, we place the Sedona on the floor on a stand, but the circumstances called for the dehumidifier to be hung. Removing moisture from "damp" air in a basement or crawl space can help insulation function more effectively while also helping to prevent mold, wood rot, and metal corrosion. This system will create better indoor air quality and a healthier home!
Weatherizing or Air Sealing Porch Windows in Belmar, NJ
A homeowner in Belmar, NJ had issues with their front porch being too cold. We found their front porch poorly insulated. Our crew solved the owners issue by dense-packing the exterior walls and porch’s roof. During our inspection we also found large gaps in the framing of the porch windows. Our customer actually got so fed up being cold they inserted fiberglass insulation in between the gaps of the framed windows. By weatherizing or air sealing the porch windows, we will help prevent or eliminate outside air from leaking or seeping into the gaps of the window frames. We use our orange ZypFoam sealant to air seal the gaps and seams of the window frames. Finally, we shave off the excess foam so we never see any of the insulation. This homeowner now has an air sealed or weatherized porch that is properly insulated. Our customer now enjoys a more comfortable and energy efficient house.
Attic is Lacking Proper Insulation in Belmar, NJ
During our free home energy audit in Belmar, NJ, we noticed the homeowner's attic was significantly under-insulated. Given the sparse insulation, it's no surprise the homeowner experiences discomfort throughout New Jersey's changing seasons. Our team recommends air sealing, installing TruSoft cellulose insulation in the attic, and using baffles for proper ventilation. We offer various other solutions tailored to each homeowner's needs, all aimed at enhancing comfort and energy efficiency with tangible results.
Poorly Insulated Attic in Sea Girt, NJ
In Sea Girt, NJ we have a homeowner with poor insulation in the attic. We can see exposed fiberglass insulation that is doing next to nothing to insulate the attic. Also the attic is not air sealed which means air the owner is paying for is leaking into the attic. After removing the old insulation we created retaining walls and a new decking. Dense-packing underneath the new decking with our TruSoft cellulose insulation will allow a catwalk and storage area for the owner. Finally we blew-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to an R-Value of R-60. This homeowner now has a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
Air Sealing a Leaky Attic Floor in Sea Girt, NJ
Upon inspecting the attic of this homeowner in Sea Girt, NJ, we discovered that the floor was not properly air sealed. Without air sealing, warm air from the homes conditioned space escapes into the attic during winter, needlessly heating the attic and increasing energy bills. This also leads to discomfort in colder months. In summer, the attic can reach temperatures over 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and without proper air sealing, this heat infiltrates the indoor space as hot air seeps through gaps in the attic floor. Upon examining these images, we can observe gaps in the floor that are approximately 1/2 inch wide, including gaps around the pipe and several open drill holes. To solve these issues, we use ZypFoam sealant to seal top plates, sill plates, and any exposed holes or gaps in the attic floor before insulation. This process creates a more effective thermal barrier between the attic and conditioned living space. By air sealing the attic, we significantly enhance comfort and energy efficiency in this home.
Crawl Space Insulation & Encapsulation in Sea Girt, NJ
During our free inspection of a crawl space in Sea Girt, NJ, we discovered inadequate insulation. The foundational exterior walls lack insulation, and the porous cinderblock walls allows air to infiltrate, potentially leading to moisture issues and discomfort throughout the house due to the "stack effect." Additionally, the rim joists are unsealed, contributing to cold floors. To remedy these issues, we installed SilverGlo rigid foam boards on the crawl space's exterior walls to create a thermal barrier, preventing outside air infiltration. Sealing the rim joists with spray foam will further enhance insulation and comfort. Finally, we recommend encapsulating the crawl space floor with a 20 mil thick CleanSpace liner featuring Ultrafresh anti-microbial properties to improve indoor air quality. We're improving comfort and energy efficiency in New Jersey homes, one house at a time.
Small Attic: Blown-in Insulation in Sea Girt, NJ
We recently worked on a project in Sea Girt, NJ, where a homeowner needed proper insulation for their small attic. After removing the old insulation and air sealing the attic, we installed TruSoft Cellulose insulation to achieve the optimal R-value of R-60. Despite the attic's challenging truss configuration, our experienced crew navigated it seamlessly. Now, this homeowner enjoys a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
Insufficient Air Sealing and Insulation in Sea Girt, NJ
During our free home evaluation in Sea Girt, NJ, we often encounter homes that lack proper air sealing and insulation. As part of the assessment, we inspect the attic to evaluate insulation levels and pull back existing insulation to check for adequate air sealing. We never insulate an attic without first ensuring it is properly air sealed. Air sealing is crucial to prevent conditioned air from escaping into unconditioned spaces; ensuring homeowners aren't paying to heat or cool their attic. By combining air sealing with proper insulation, we can help make the home more comfortable and energy-efficient.
