Before and after photos of a dense wall packing
This home in Highwood, IL upgraded their insulation with dense wall packing cellulose. Dense Wall packing allows for more of an air sealing property. Some homeowners seek out Dense Wall packing for the weatherization benefits, as the average 3.5 pounds per square foot of insulation is a thicker barrier between you and the outside elements.
The bathroom fan wasn't properly ventilated, so moisture was just building up in the attic. We installed roof vents and connected them to bathroom fans. This prevented moisture from going up into the attic, which would cause mold. The homeowner was very happy with a job well done.
Under insulated attic is a major cause of energy loss in a home. It causes hot rooms during the summer and cold rooms during in the winter.
After adding air sealing and insulation, the homeowners notice immediate results and are amazed at the difference throughout their home.
A customer had some stairs that were very squeaky and cold during their morning trips to the kitchen. We caulked and spray foamed the stairs to insulate them from the cold basement and also to provide some sound-deadening qualities. The customers asked us to run and jump on the stairs because they could not believe how quiet they were after we were done. Needless to say, this customer was thrilled with the results!
