Before & After Photos

This client's garage knee wall area is connected to an up-stairs bedroom. The problem with that is the garage knee wall isn't insulated, meaning that air from the garage is constantly leaking in and out of that room (making it very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter). Our solution for this was to install 1/2" of polysio foam board and spray foam sealant. That upstairs room actually feels like a livable space now. 

Have you ever noticed how your upstairs is sweltering hot in the summer and your downstairs is bone-chilling cold in the winter? If your answer is yes, then you and this customer are right in the same boat. The problem? An unsealed and under-insulated attic. We needed to air seal the attic area (any penetrations, open cavities, rims & joists, etc) and blow in closed cell cellulose insulation. We fixed this customer's uncomfortable home and we can fix yours too!  

This homeowner had some ridiculously high electric bills for a house the size of his. He had CHS come out and find out how to fix this problem of his. 

What we found was that he had an exposed knee wall that was causing a lot of air leakage and, consequently, pushing those electric bills up. We solved this problem by air sealing the knee wall with our closed cell spray foam. This has made a huge difference for the customer and they no longer have to worry about their electricity bills hiking up during the summer and winter.  

This homeowner had a real concern about his bedroom's comfort. The temperature would get really extreme during the winter and summer months. He suspected that there wasn't any insulation in his bedroom walls and very little in his attic. He called CHS to come out and diagnose his house.  

We found that the homeowner was correct -- he definitely needed insulation in his attic and walls, but he also needed air sealing in the attic. We were able to do all of this for him (and a quality job of it at that). We successfully resolved his comfort issues and lowered his utility bills at the same time! 

William's home in Lothian, MD was experiencing comfort issues throughout the first floor. In the winter the floors would be cold, impacting the overall temperature of the first floor. And in the summer it seemed to constantly be damp and humid. William took the right first step by calling Complete Home Solutions to assess the problem. Upon arrival, our trained Home Comfort Specialist began his analysis in the crawl space of the home, where he discovered several key indicators of William's uncomfortable first floor. With cracks along the exterior walls of the crawl space as well as insulation that was in pretty rough shape, it was easy to determine that this was the source of the comfort problems. 

On the day of the installation, our crew began by removing all of the old batt insulation from the floor joist above, before laying down our 20mill CleanSpace vapor barrier, which when bolted to the wall creates a seal on the ground of the crawls space, making sure moisture and critters can not make their way in from below. They then sprayed the area with our 2 part closed cell spray foam insulation to all of the exterior walls. The final step to this encapsulation was to install a dehumidifier which was set to a consistent 50-55% humidity. William noticed an immediate difference in the floor temperature of his home and cant wait to see the difference as the weather outside begins to change.
