This Binghamton, NY homeowner was suffering from the heat and humidity of the summer months, but also noticed that the house was quite cool in the wintertime as well, despite their best efforts to keep the home warm. We air sealed the attic, including top plates, around light fixtures and rim joists before we did an open blow of 16 inches of our TruSoft cellulose insulation. Resulting in a much more energy-efficient and comfortable home.
This Binghamton, NY homeowner wanted to have part of his large garage spray foamed. 3 inches of our closed cell spray foam was sprayed to the walls and ceiling of this garage, ensuring that the garage will be able to be used year-round comfortably for whatever projects this homeowner desires.
This Binghamton, NY homeowner had a small crawlspace that we proposed to encapsulate for him. First, we laid down the drainage mat and TerraBlock to the floor of the crawl space. We then laid the CleanSpace over top of the Terrablock. To make sure the CleanSpace stays in place, we used our closed cell spray foam to seal the CleanSpace to the edges of the crawl space. We used 3 inches of Closed Cell Spray foam on the walls to ensure that the CleanSpace stays intact.
This Binghamton, NY homeowner called us when she just couldn't stay warm during the cold winter months and was uncomfortable during the summer heat as well. Our free Home Comfort Evaluation showed that she had no insulation in her walls and attic space.
This customer met to Empower guidelines for income, so Empower was able to have this work done free of charge to the homeowner. We dense-packed her first and second stories of the home, as well as did some work in the attic.
For the attic, since she wanted to still be able to utilize the attic for storage, our crew did some decking for her. First, after doing some air sealing, the foam board was laid down on the existing floor and fastening plywood to the top. This allows her to still utilize a decent amount of attic space as storage. After constructing a dam of sorts, we were able to separate the attic into where we could do an open blow of our TruSoft cellulose insulation. We did an open blowing of 12 inches of TruSoft cellulose insulation into the attic for her. This will help keep the humidity of the attic down and make the customer more comfortable in her home overall.

In order to dense pack her home, we removed the siding with great care. We then drilled 2 and a half-inch round holes into the home for our hose to access. We then filled the cavity with our TruSoft cellulose insulation, and we test to make sure it's densely packed before moving on to the next hole. If we can't indent into the filled cavity, then we know that it's properly dense-packed. Once all of the holes have been packed with our TruSoft cellulose insulation, we carefully plug the holes using Cedarwood plugs and seal around it. We then carefully replace the siding and you never know we were there on the outside!
