Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Duluth, MN had concerns about ice dams and vermiculite being asbestos. With four kids and plans to reside in the home long-term, ensuring safety and structural integrity was paramount.

Our Appointment Center promptly set up a free, no obligation inspection with Design Specialist Heidi. During the inspection, vermiculite was found uncovered and signs of moisture spreading in the attic, with a back bedroom exhibiting discoloration on the ceiling. To address these issues, a hybrid system with baffles was recommended, coupled with preemptive measures like MoldX© treatment post-removal. Production team, led by Foreman Wade installed the system with baffles and MoldX©, ensuring a comprehensive solution for their home's well-being.

In this Duluth, MN home, the customer was dealing with a frustrating and damaging issue—water entering through the eaves and traveling down the wall cavity, all the way to the basement. The before photo shows an under-insulated attic that allowed moisture and air to freely enter the home. To solve the problem, we installed TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation for comprehensive coverage and added targeted Spray Foam insulation to seal air leaks and prevent water intrusion at its source. The after photo highlights a properly insulated attic, now protected against moisture and energy loss. With this upgrade, the customer no longer has to worry about water damage—and can enjoy a more comfortable, energy-efficient home.
