We blew a thick layer of clean, safe, TruSoft blown cellulose insulation on top of the thin layer of compressed fiberglass in the attic of this historic Rochester home.
This home in Penfield had old fiber glass insulation in the attic that was ripped and falling apart. The fiber glass wasn't helping to keep air inside and was adding extra expense to the customers utility bills. We took out the old insulation and added cellulose and air sealing to help make this home more comfortable and save this homeowner money.
We recently upgraded this home in Pittsford to lower their bills and reduce ice damming that was causing damage to the interior drywall. Our crew installed various air sealing measures such as fire foam around wire penetrations and light fixtures, sheet metal panning and rockwool around the chimney flue pipe, and an attic cover over the pull down stairs. We also added 14 inches of cellulose insulation in the attic and densed packed the slopes that were poorly insulated and moving a lot of air.
This home was under-insulated and had a moisture problem in the attic which had some mold and staining on the underside plywood and rafters. We did a complete air sealing job and properly vented the bath fans in the attic. Then we treated the surface with Mold-X2 Cleaner and Botanical to treat the attic prior to adding the new insulation.
This house was in need of attic insulation and bath fan venting. We helped reduce the blower door numbers significantly and made a big difference in the master bathroom by upgading the fan and sealing off the poorly insulated raised kneewalls.
