This attic had no insulation to shield the home form environmental factors making the interior drafty and uncomfortable. The floored attic space was great for storage, but the insufficient insulation levels were causing significant heat loss. Essentially the heat they were paying for was rising straight up and out of the house, making them very Uncomfortable. The homeowner decided that enough was enough and contacted Complete Home Solutions to look for a solution.
We recommended removing the storage platform. Storing items in uncontrolled spaces is never a good idea. They often become damaged or warm from the uncontrolled temperatures. Blown cellulose insulation was decided to be the best fit for this attic providing it with a strong thermal barrier.
The homeowner now has a more efficient and comfortable home while saving on the cost of their utility bill.
While you can't tell from the old insulation and all the dirt and debris, Both of these pictures are looking at the same wall in the crawl space in this Prince Frederick, MD home. Cheyanne lives in a waterfront community, and in the summer moisture and humidity take over her home. She took the right first steps by calling Complete Home Solutions to assess the problem, and after a full evaluation of the home, our Home Comfort Specialist recommended a Crawl Space Encapsulation. On the day of the encapsulation, our Home Comfort Technicians began by removing the old vapor barrier and insulation from the crawl space., this provided an empty area to begin the transformation. They then installed our Clean space vapor barrier which when bolted to the walls of the crawl space creates a seal that prevents any moisture or pest from entering the crawl from below. Following the installation of the vapor barrier, our Technicians used a 2 part closed cell spray foam to insulate and seal the walls. This process restricts any air from coming through the vents or cinder blocks in the crawl. The final step of this encapsulation is to install a dehumidifier that regulates the humidity to a consistent 50-55%.
Following the work, Cheyanne could not be happier with the look or performance of her new crawl space and has already noticed a difference in the temperature of her home.
