These Dallas, Oregon homeowners understood how leaky their home was with all the recessed ceiling lights inside their house (see BEFORE photo). Air they were paying to heat/cool was leaking in to the attic around each of their many recessed lights.
To help greatly reduce the leakage, our insulation crew covered each can light with a fire-resistant cover (see AFTER photo). They then held each in place with foam that also sealed the bottom to the attic deck. These covers then allowed our crew to blow in cellulose over the light covers--without these covers, there would need to be a few feet of space around each light, which would reduce the effectiveness of the insulation.
To help make this Junction City, OR home more comfortable, our insulation crew insulated the attic. First, the old fiberglass insulation (see BEFORE photo) was removed. It wasn’t doing much to insulate! This then allowed our insulation crew to do air-sealing in places where air is leaking from her home into the attic. Then, TruSoft™ cellulose was blown in to the attic to the R-49 level (see AFTER photo). All these steps are working together to help make this home better insulated.
The client found us online and called about a shed with a metal roof that needed weatherproofing. Closed-cell spray foam was chosen as it doesn’t take up much space, seals up the leaks and then that metal roof won’t drip on them!
This couple did research online for closed-cell spray foam companies and called us for an appointment. Their goals were to make their floors warmer in the winter and improve air quality in their home. About 50% of the air you breathe on the first floor comes in through the crawl space, so if a crawl space area is moldy or moist, or full of rodent feces, that comes in to the home.
This home definitely needed work as the underfloor insulation was ripped and hanging down (see BEFORE photo).
They chose us to install an average of three inches of closed-cell spray foam on the underfloor plus to seal the ductwork (see AFTER photo).
This home's attic did not have enough insulation to keep in the warm air, so the homeowner was cold in the winter. This comes from all the cracks where air was leaking out of the attic plus the inadequate level of insulation. Even though there was some attic insulation (see the Before photo), there were too many places where it was inadequate. Warm air likes to find its way out, and this attic gave it ample places to escape. Our Insulation Crew sealed the air leaks and then blew in TruSoft cellulose insulation to the R-49 level (see After photo) that is recommended as the minimum level to be effective.
