Insulation Services Before & After Photos

We inspected the owner’s house in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, and found leaky ductwork, a poorly insulated attic, and the attic was not air sealed. To fix the leaky ductwork, we use our SilverGlo insulation panels to encapsulate the ducts. Using our orange ZypFoam sealant, our experts will air seal the floor, the seams of the newly installed SilverGlo, and any of the ductwork connections that may need additional attention. Next, we built catwalk dams or retaining walls along the attic floor to help contain our blown-in insulation. Finally, we blow in our TruSoft cellulose insulation to complete the attic. By air sealing, insulating the attic properly, and encapsulating the leaky ductwork, we have made this house more comfortable and energy efficient.

The clergy of First Assembly of God Church in Shrewbury reached out to Dr. Energy Saver to help solve their comfort issues above their rectory. Dr. Energy found their ducts were not getting the air to the conditioned space because of all of the air leakage in the ducts. They felt the ducts were blowing in hot air instead of the conditioned air that is supposed to come in. By encapsulating the ducts with 2" polyisocyanurate foam board and sealing it them with closed cell spray foam Dr. Energy completely maximized the efficiency of the duct system. Maximizing the efficiency of the duct system ensures that no air will escape and all will reach the conditioned space keeping the occupants comfortable.

In Shrewsbury, NJ, we found an attached garage with insufficient insulation. This is causing conditioned air to leak into the attic during winter and allowing hot air to infiltrate the rooms during summer. These issues result in higher energy costs and discomfort. To address these issues, we will install SilverGlo rigid foam boards on adjoining walls, draft block floor joists with SilverGlo sealed using ZypFoam, air seal the attic floor with ZypFoam, and add TruSoft cellulose insulation with wooden retaining walls. This comprehensive approach significantly reduces energy loss and enhances home comfort.

We discovered why a homeowner in Shrewsbury, NJ, struggled with cold floors and an uncomfortable home. The vented crawl space and exposed rim joists were allowing cold air to infiltrate, creating chilly floors and uneven temperatures in the rooms above. This setup also risked moisture and humidity buildup, potentially leading to mold growth. Although the crawl space had a proper vapor barrier, the vents remained unblocked, and the rim joists were unprotected. To fix this, we installed foam blocks to cover the vents and insulated the rim joists, sealing everything with foam sealant. Finally, we used spray foam to close any remaining gaps letting in outside air. Now, the homeowner enjoys a warmer, more energy-efficient home.

This customer in Neptune NJ, had signifcant comfort, energy and indoor air quality concerns.   The duct system in crawl space was a major contributing factor.   Before ducts leaked heated and cooled air into crawl, as well as allowed a direct  air path from the crawl space into the living space above. The crawl space was wet, loaded with insects, rodents, droppings, wet moldy insulation just to name a few. We repaired and sealed the duct system, removed contaminated materials and installed a Clean space crawl encapsulation system. Now the crawl is dry, warm and clean. The ductwork is now inside a insulated crawl VS. outside the building shell.
