Before & After Photos

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.

When inspecting a customer’s attic in Howell, NJ our team found mold growing on the roof decking/sheathing. Mold can be hazardous to one’s health and needs to be addressed. Also mold can cause dry rot in the attic. It’s important for our experts to get a whole house approach so we can help reduce further reoccurrences of mold. There’s more to just treating mold, we have to find the root cause.

We treat mold by spraying and/or fogging the area with our Mold X-2 Stain Remover and our Mold X-2 Botanical. Also our experts will try to reduce the moisture or humidity from entering the attic to help limit the reoccurrences of mold. Remember mold feeds on moisture and humidity so our approach is to find the root causes.

While inspecting the attic above the garage in Howell, NJ, we found that the adjoining wall between the garage and the house was exposed to extreme attic temperatures. Conditioned air was escaping into the unconditioned attic, while unconditioned air was infiltrating the house. As a result, the rooms near the garage became uncomfortably hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. To address this issue, we installed 2-inch foam boards on the adjoining wall and sealed them with foam sealant. This solution effectively stopped the air leaks, enhancing the home's comfort and reducing energy waste.

This sump pump in Farmingdale, NJ was held together by duct tape and was no longer triggering itself when it needed to pump out water of the pit in this crawlspace. By installing a brand new SmartSump we were able to ensure that the water pooling below the crawlspace will not affect the foundation and will be pumped out of the house. Paired along with a full crawlspace encapsulation this customer has nothing to worry about with moisture affecting their home or their indoor air quality.
