This Endicott, NY homeowner was experiencing extremely cold winters. Our Home Comfort Evaluation showed that there was no insulation within the walls of the home.
We proposed to dense pack the walls from the exterior of the home. We carefully removed the siding of the house, drilled our holes needed for our cellulose hose and then began to dense pack the wall cavities with our cellulose insulation. After ensuring it's tightly packed in each hole we drilled, we placed a cedar wood plug in the hole, sealed it up and then replaced the siding as carefully as we had removed it.
These Endicott, NY homeowners were preparing for the arrival of their first child. They wanted to improve the insulation in their attic space, which did not have much insulation before we did our installation.
We proposed to air seal and dense pack the ceiling over the garage, in order to do this we carefully removed the siding so we could drill the holes just slightly bigger than our hose to fit in. We then fill the cavities with our cellulose insulation until it's so tightly packed we can hardly move the cellulose. We then plugged the holes we drilled with cedar wood plugs, sealing around the hole and then replacing the siding as carefully as we had removed it.
We also wanted to ensure the attic space would be well insulated. We opted to spray foam the roof deck of the attic with our closed cell spray foam. There was an old fan in the attic, which we built around with foam board to spray to as we sprayed 3 inches of spray foam to the attic ceiling and walls. The spray foam itself also airseals any gaps and cracks in the attic ceiling.
This Endicott, NY homeowner wanted to make further improvements tol the attic insulation, as well as a corner of the basement.
In the basement, there was some old fiberglass batts that had fallen down, we removed the fiberglass and spray foamed 3 inches of our Closed Cell Spray Foam to the floor joists. We then coated this in our fireproof paint. We then turned our focus to the attic space. We air sealed the attic first, sealing any gaps and cracks, around top plates, wire penetrations and light fixtures. We then did an open blow of 14 inches of Cellulose insulation to the attic flat, which will help this homeowner lower their heat and utility bills by having a properly sealed and insulated home.
This homeowner in Endicott wanted to keep his tenants warmer and help them save on their utility bills with the NYSERDA program.
For this home, we focused on the basement. There was a crawlspace that needed our attention, so we did our CleanSpace system to the crawlspace. We laid our 6 mil poly vapor barrier in the crawl space, sprayed the walls with 2 inches of our closed cell spray foam, as well as spray foamed the rim joists.
This homeowner in Endicott, NY had heard about the work we do with the NYSERDA program and wanted to see what they may qualify for in making their home more energy efficient and potentially cut down on their utility bills. We began with our Home Comfort Evaluation to see what all was happening in the home and what existed in the home to make it less energy efficient. Our Home Comfort Specialist determined there was work needed to help the home be more comfortable in the attic and basement. We did some air sealing in the attic, sealing around the sill plates, wire penetrations, and light fixtures before dense packing the attic slopes with cellulose insulation, then doing an open blow of 18 inches of our cellulose insulation to lessen the heat escaping from the attic in winter.
We then turned our focus to the basement. This home has a rock foundation, and over time gaps and cracks have formed along the wall allowing air to be drawn in from the outside which travels throughout the home making the home colder. For this home, we sprayed 2 inches of our Closed Cell Spray Foam into the open rim joists to seal them, then sprayed 2 inches of our spray foam along the foundation walls creating a seal. We finished off by spraying our fire proofing paint on the spray foam, and now the home is much more comfortable and energy efficient than before.
