A crucial part of insulating an attic space lies in filling in gaps and holes. These can occur around light fixtures, joists, etc. We take great care here at Foam It Insulation to ensure that you're comfortable in your home and that the hidden areas that aren't always considered are sealed properly leaving your home well insulated.
Spray foam insulation is one of the fastest and best ways to air seal. These photos show a prime example that every nook and cranny matters.
Sealing the top plate is like putting the lid on a tupperware container. There's no room for leakage. Once those top plates are air sealed by applying spray foam insulation, the air flow will drastically reduce, creating a much more comfortable home environment.
This homeowner had some fiberglass insulation in the attic, but it wasn't keeping the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Sadly, the fiberglass batts don't do much for insulation and tend to act like a large air filter, which explains why some of it is such a dingy color rather than the pink we all know well.
We removed the fiberglass batts and completely air sealed this attic before open blowing our TruSoft cellulose into the open attic. Now, the temperatures within the home will be much more stablized and enjoyable for these homeowners.
This crawl space created a huge problem for this homeowner with excess moisture. First, we air sealed the rim joists, then utilized our crawl space/basement encapsulation system that allows excess water to drain from the inside to the outside. We then seal the encapsulation system to the foundation walls with our closed cell spray foam.
