Insulating Devils Triangle in Oceanport, NJ

Before	After

This homeowner’s Cape Cod style house in Oceanport, NJ suffered from inadequate insulation and air leakage on the second floor. The owner’s conditioned room had cold drafts in the winter and a hot stuffy room in the summer. After properly insulating both kneewalls our team can now focus on the devils triangle. First things first, we air sealed the devils triangles floor or conditioned rooms ceiling in the attic with orange ZypFoam. Next the roof slopes are dense packed with TruSoft cellulose insulation to stop air flow and insulate. Finally, the flat ceiling (the devils triangles floor) is insulated with TruSoft cellulose insulation to an R-value of R-60. We properly insulated the devils triangle and the owner now has a house that is more comfortable and energy efficient.

Kneewall & Exposed Interior Wall in Oceanport, NJ

Before	After

This homeowner’s kneewall in Oceanport, NJ suffered from poor insulation and air leakage. The owner’s conditioned room had cold drafts in the winter and a hot stuffy room in the summer. After removing the fiberglass insulation we air sealed both kneewall floors with orange ZypFoam sealant. The interior wall has exposed fiberglass insulation that is doing next to nothing to insulate the conditioned room. Our team installs SilverGlo insulation boards onto the adjoining wall. Next we draft block the floor bays with SilverGlo and air seal them with ZypFoam sealant. Since there is a larger roof overhang or a larger soffit we, use retaining walls to help contain the blown-in insulation. Finally blow-in TruSoft cellulose insulation to complete kneewall insulation.

We properly insulated the kneewall and the owner now has a house that is more comfortable and energy efficient.

Sealed Rim Joist in Oceanport, NJ

Before	After

These customers floors were too cold. Their rim joist (the floor's framing system) was barely protected from air passing through the gaps between the wood because there was just a thin piece of fiberglass stuck up there. This left the basement and the floors above it to always feel colder than the rest of the house. Dr. Energy Saver has a simple solution to this prevelant issue, we spray over 2" of closed cellspray foam over the joist to ensure that no air can move between the boards.
