Before & After Photos

This Ashburn VA home was the recipient of a whole attic systems project.  Removal of old insulation, air sealing using Zyp Foam, foam paneling used to cover several HVAC exchange boxes and Tru Soft cellulose insulation blown in to to cover it all.  This will all help to reduce the energy cost it takes to heat and cool the home year round and make the home more comfortable for the owners. pictured here BEFORE is the attic with its original insulation and no air sealing below.  The AFTER photo shows the old insulation removed and Zyp Foam having been used to seal all of the gaps and cracks where conditioned air had been able to leak from the home below.  

This Ashburn VA home had a room over its garage that shared walls with a partial section of the attic.  The homeowners called us to try and help make that room and other areas of the home more comfortable.  Our team air sealed the space with Zyp Foam before blowing in more Tru Soft cellulose insulation.  There was a small wall section of the attic with framing that created blocks of open space.  Our team used Spray Foam to insulate those blocks and finish the project.  

Insulation alone will not solve most attic performance problems.  This Sterling VA attic was allowing conditioned air from the rooms below to escape and make the home uncomfortable.  As a result the HVAC system had to run more often than it should which lead to high energy bills.  After removing the old insulation, the small cracks, gaps and seams in the ceiling floor were exposed and able to be sealed with Zyp Foam.  Once air sealed, the rest of the attic was filled with blown in Tru Soft cellulose insulation. 

The finished side of this space on the other side of this attic wall is some ones room.  Uninsulated, it was being impacted by the temperatures in the otherwise uncontrolled attic.  This would lead to that room being too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.  After applying spray foam insulation and then air sealing and insulating the rest of the attic space, there would no longer be an impact on the living areas and bedrooms caused by the attic temperatures. 

This Reston VA homeowner wanted to make their home more comfortable across all of the rooms in the home. In addition to Air Sealing, Insulation and Spray Foam across several HVAC ducts, the project also included use of material installed on the under side of the roof rafters to act as a radiant barrier.  This would help reflect radiant roof heat away from the attic in the times of year when the sun was at its strongest.
