Before & After Photos

As metal buildings can be blazing hot in the summer, then cold and dripping condensation in the winter, closed-cell spray foam was the best solution for this Glide, OR barn.

After this Salem, OR homeowner had the old insulation in their crawl space removed by another company, he needed it re-insulated and called our company to get a proposal. With the moisture issues under this home, and the mold growth that had already started (see BEFORE photo), the owner chose to seal the crawl space with encapsulation (AFTER photo).

This customer called about a old, brittle vapor barrier and mice in their crawlspace. We encapsulated their crawlspace and the customers are literally breathing easier! 

Closed-cell spray foam is a great solution to prevent condensation on the walls and ceiling of a metal building.  This BEFORE photo shows the building just as our crew was preparing the building—they covered the floor in plastic sheeting and taped off beams and other areas with painter’s tape.  The AFTER photo shows the metal parts of the building spray foamed. Now the warmer air inside cannot condensate and drip--it cannot reach the metal walls and ceiling.

Because their mobile home was drafty, these homeowners suspected they had insulation problems under the house. Boy were they right!  Half of the insulation was hanging down (see Before photo), so no wonder they felt drafts inside their home.

There are different options for insulating under a mobile home—re-do the bag that the insulation is blown into (sort of looks like a big belly), stuff underneath between the beams with fiberglass batting, or spray foam the underneath of the mobile home.  These folks chose the batting (see After photo) which was then held in place with twine.  Their home is back to being comfortable and not drafty!
