These customers had no place for storage in their large attic, they were forced to walk along 4" wide boards across the framing of the house. After reaching out to Dr. Energy Saver for insulation solutions they were pleased to find that they could choose to add a storage deck in their attic. The customers chose to install an attic super deck which is plywood with cellulose densely packed underneath to ensure the area is insulated. After airsealing around the chimney, plywood was cut to create a sturdy and safe storage area to walk on and also created a dam between the 16" of cellulose that was used to insulate the rest of the attic.
This customers energy bills were cut in half by a crawlspace encapsulation and airseal and insulation in the attic. This crawlspace already had a thin plastic liner that was only blanketing the dirt where it was not torn. Installing the Clean Space Liner sealed off all the dirt and moisture from the ground protecting the bottom of your home from outside air and moisture build up. Spray foaming the outside walls ensured the aread would stay insulated and keep the floors comfortable.
In Toms River, NJ, a homeowner faced issues with an attached garage leaking outside air into the living space above, causing discomfort. During summer, the rooms above the garage became excessively hot. To remedy this, we implemented improvements to create a more comfortable environment both in the garage and upstairs. By insulating the garage ceiling with Foamax boards and sealing gaps with ZyoFoam sealant, we effectively insulated the garage. This not only enhanced the comfort of the rooms above but also provided a better area for the homeowner to set up their workbench comfortably. Additionally, we relocated ducts to the attic for better efficiency. Properly insulating the garage has significantly boosted the home's overall energy efficiency and comfort.
This customer had many of the common issues in his 2 story home. The second floor was cold in the winter, uncomfortably hot in the summer and high utility bills.
The before picture shows less than 6" of fiberglass insulation, deteriorated ductwork and insulation voids on a large kneewall.
The after pictures shows that the far kneewall was sealed and sheathed with 2" poly iso R-13 boards, the attic flat was thoroughly air sealed and approx 14" of cellulose insulation was added resulting in R-60+ insulation.
The results are a reduction of excessive air leakage by over 60%!!, greatly improved ductwork efficiency, improved indoor air quality and optimum level of safe healthy insulation.
It is like we pulled a heavy wool blanket over the home, keeping heat inside in the winter and out in the summer.
This homeowner in Howell, NJ, was dealing with an uncomfortable and energy-inefficient home due to poor insulation in the basement. The porous cinder block walls and exposed rim joists were allowing outside air to seep in, making the entire home less comfortable. To address this, we installed Foamax insulation boards directly onto the cinder block walls, providing effective insulation and reducing air infiltration. Additionally, we spray foamed the exposed rim joists to seal off any remaining air leaks. These straightforward solutions can significantly improve your home's comfort and energy efficiency.
