Before & After Photos

Here is a before/after of a light fixture being air sealed in the attic of a home in Dumfries, VA.

This Occoquan VA home was found to have small amounts of mold behind some existing insulation.  We were tasked with removing the insulation in with the intent to replace it with a better quality product that would bring better results.  Before we could do so we had to treat the small amounts of mold with botanical spray.  It is a food grade mixture that is not harmful to people or pets but will kill and stop the spread of mold if caught early.  Here our technician is administering the botanical spray after the initial removal of the old insulation.  

The existing insulation in Falls Church, VA was piled deep, but there was air leakage, non-consistent coverage, low spots, and it was just nasty!!!

We removed all of the old insulation, air sealed any leakage points, and blew in new TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation for a nice,  thick, even coverage.

This home in Springfield VA had a large, open attic space along with several knee walls that were ineffectively insulated and leading to poor home performance.  The HVAC system was working harder than it needed to in order to keep pumping conditioned air into rooms that were not air sealed or insulated and therefore allowing that conditioned air to escape.  This lead to increased energy costs for the homeowner and changing levels of comfort from one room in the house to another.  After calling us for help, the homeowners received a free Home Performance inspection and we determined what solutions would help. In addition to air sealing the entire attic and using Silver Glo insulation panels to insulate the knee walls, we removed the existing insulation and blew in Tru Soft cellulose insulation to fill the attic to its needed R Value to properly insulate.  

How do you help reduce high energy bills and make a home with cathedral ceilings more comfortable year round?  You insulate the knee walls of the home with silver Glo panels and air seal the space with Zyp Foam.  The old school insulation that was in this area was not working.  The heat and cold from outside was penetrating at different times of year, leading to draftiness and high energy bills.
