Before & After Photos

This Purcellville homeowner was looking for a great way to insulate the basement and have it prepped to finish before putting it on the market for sale.  They didn't want to finish the basement completely, but wanted it "ready to finish" so the buyer could build it out as the wished.

Comfenergy found the ultimate solution by using Basement to Beautiful wall panels. These wall panels are insulated with SilverGlo foam and have the metal studs already built into them.  Each insulated Basement to Beautiful wall panel is held in place with foam spray insulation, and then secured using long bolts. There are 3 distinct advantages to these wall panels. 1) Once they are installed, the room is ready to be finished because the framing is built in. 2) They provide moisture intrusion control. 3) The Basement to Beautiful panels are infused with anti-microbial materials and will not mold nor mildew. 

This Jeffersonton, VA homeowner has suffered from high humidity in the basement of their home for years. The basement is attached to a low ceiling crawl space built on a slab. The high humidity is typically caused by:

1. Drainage of ground water from outside.

2. Hydrostatic water table pressure coming up from below.

3. Hot/humid air coming into the basement and hitting cold surfaces.

These before and after photos show how Comfenergy solved the humidity issue. A perimeter drainage system was installed in the slab around the perimeter of the crawl space. CleanSpace (20 mil) vapor barrier is tucked behind the perimeter drain. Then Thermax foam wall panels are installed to provide the proper air sealing and insulation value. Thermax also provides a thermal barrier for fire protection and meet codes.

Now the basement and crawl space are nice and dry!

This home has a sun room/porch that is built on a deck. The floor of the deck had no insulation and as a result, the floor and room above it were uncomfortably humid in the summer and literally cold to the touch in the winter. We installed closed cell spray foam to the rafters under the deck to insulate and keep the floors above the deck comfortable!

One of the most important things to do before insulating an attic is to air seal it.  Here is a before/after of an air gap that we found and sealed with our Spray Foam in Lovettsville, VA.

A great way to improve the comfort and energy performance of a home is to apply Spray Foam to the rim joists at the top of the basement foundation walls.  This space can often allow outside air and temperatures to impact the home.  Cold or hot air from outside can cause temperature fluctuations and can carry in dust and allergens that can impact the air quality in the home.  50% of the air inside of a home comes from the lowest points of open air access in the home so creating a low point that is not in or near a basement can keep moisture out as well.  Our production crew applied Spray Foam to this entire basement at all of the rim joists and created and air seal along with better insulation.
