Air Sealing and Blown in Insulation in Willingboro, NJ

These homeowners were never comfortable upstairs. Their home was built in the 1950's and had the original insulation which was only 2-in thick and had been removed in spots. The summer sun heated the attic to 120 degrees and the poor insulation didn't keep that heat from going right through the second floor ceiling.

The first measure we installed was attic air sealing. The insulation was moved and all wall tops and penetrations around wires and pipes were sealed with expanding spray foam. This keeps the conditioned air in the home from leaking into the attic. Next, we added 16-inches of blown in cellulose insulation. The R-value of the insulation increased from R-7 to R-51 which means 67% less heat is transferred through the ceiling!

The home is now comfortable all year and our clients are glad to refer us to family and friends.
