Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This customer was feeling cold in her bedroom because a  kneewall that borders the attic space was allowing a lot of cold air to move into the room because the wall was not properly air sealed or insulated. A large cavity next to the building support also allowed a lot of cool air to freely move through the attic from below. By insulating the kneewall with 2" reflective radiant barrier foam board, Dr. Energy Saver was able to keep the cold air out of the customer's bedroom. Sealing off the cavity with foam board as well slowed the movement of air through the attic dramatically.

This attic kneewall was leaking a considerable amount of air into this customer's home in Red Bank, NJ due to a lack of insulation.  In order to stop this problem, Dr. Energy Saver sheathed the wall in 2" polyisocyanurate foam board and sealed it with expanding spray foam to create an air-sealed barrier between the attic and the inside of the house.  This fix has left the homeowner feeling more comfortable and happy about saving money on his energy bills for the rest of the time he owns the house.

A homeowner in Red Bank, NJ complained their rooms were uncomfortably hot and too cold. When inspecting their home we found the attic Kneewall had cold air entering through leaky fascia/soffit assemblies or through soffit vents. We also have hot air radiating off the roof making the attic even hotter during the summers.

To solve this issue we spray foam the attics rim joists to eliminate outside air from leaking into the attic. Next our SilverGlo foam insulation is installed under the rafters up the Kneewall and sealed at the seams with our orange ZypFoam sealant. Our SilverGlo foam insulation has graphite infused into the foam, which increases the R-value by 24% compared to regular EPS foam. In addition, our SilverGlo foam insulation has a reflective radiant barrier on both sides to reflect roof heat out during the summer and house heat back in during the winter.

Our customer now enjoys a significantly warmer house in the winter, a cooler house in the hot weather, kneewall storage space and lower fuel/electric bills.

Winter is coming and it’s getting colder! This customer in Red Bank, NJ had some cold rooms last winter and an uncomfortable house. When our team inspected the owner’s attic they found old fiberglass insulation poorly insulating the homeowner’s attic. Unfortunately, this customer knows all too well that a poorly insulated attic means an uncomfortable home and higher fuel/electric bills.

First our team spray foams the rim joists then installs our Foamax insulation boards on the underside of the roof deck to create a thermal barrier. Using our orange ZypFoam sealant our crew seals the gaps and seems of the Foamax insulation and air seals the attic. Finally we dense pack behind the Foamax, blowing-in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation in between the joist bay walls.

The homeowner now enjoys a much more comfortable and energy efficient home.

Leaky ducts and an under-insulated attic in Red Bank, NJ, were causing year-round discomfort, higher energy bills, and poor indoor air quality for this homeowner. Conditioned air was escaping through the supply ducts, while dirty attic air was being drawn into the return ducts. To resolve these issues, we encapsulated the ducts with SilverGlo foam boards sealed with ZypFoam, air-sealed the attic floor, and added R-60 cellulose insulation for maximum comfort and energy savings. We also installed wooden retaining walls and a catwalk to provide easy access to the mechanicals.
