This homeowner in Granville, MA called us saying that he had found mold and damp insulation in his attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and was able to do a full evaluation. He noted that among other issues such as improper ventilation, the attic was not air sealed and had ineffective insulation. 

 

In order to help this attic customer, we first had to remove the old fiberglass insulation. There were two types of insulation, blown-in fiberglass and fiberglass batt insulation. We bagged the batt insulation and vacuumed the rest out with a long hose. 

 

We then set to work re-insulating the attic. We first air-sealed all cracks and gaps in the attic floor using Zypfoam one part spray foam. We used our TiteShell™ can light covers to cover up the can lights and sealed around them. 

 

After that, we insulated the attic floor using our TruSoft™ blown in cellulose insulation. We insulated to R-60, which is the recommended level of insulation for attics in our region. 

 

Now, this homeowner has a much more comfortable home - he was already feeling a noticeable difference less than a week after this job was completed!

Granville's Leading Spray Foam Insulation Contractor

Spray foam insulation is the best choice for insulation if you’re looking to increase your comfort & decrease your energy bills. Spray foam insulation is truly the best option for home insulation and here are a few reasons why. Spray Foam Insulation provides an air barrier due to its ability to fill gaps and cracks. It is also great at staying in the hard to reach areas because of its super-adhesive qualities. Spray foam insulation is also waterproof, unlike fiberglass and cellulose insulation. Water will not be able to pass through the foam which makes it an extremely durable and long-lasting product. Lastly, spray foam insulation is foolproof. Spray foam is sprayed as a liquid and then expands and hardens to fill voids and gaps. There is never any chance for an area to be missed or bypassed. Once cured, spray foam insulation will stay in place for decades to come and will never shift or settle like fiberglass. To ensure your home has the best insulation available and your energy bills are low, switch to spray foam insulation today!

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation Include:

  • Spray foam works in all areas of the home
  • Has a greater R-value
  • Acts as an air sealant
  • Is waterproof
  • Leaves no gaps

Job Stories From Granville, MA
Insulating an Attic in Granville, MA

This homeowner in Granville, MA called us when he discovered mold and damp insulation in his attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home to do an evaluation. When we did our evaluation, we noted several things wrong with the home that caused issues. One of these things was a lack of air sealing. Since attics are vented, we should think of them thermally as outside in the winter. In summer because of the suns radiant heat, they are much worse than outside, reaching 130˚ on summer days. Clearly, we need to keep an absolute boundary between our living space and the attic so inside air doesn’t move to the attic in the heating season (convection), and heat doesn’t pass up through our ceilings in winter (conduction), and down from our ceilings in the hot summer (conduction, radiation). To reduce overall air leakage, the attic is the first priority because warm air rises to the top of the house and finds any and all holes to leak out into the cold vented attic and is lost. Holes, gaps and joints include between drywall and framing at the top of walls, around pipes, wires, electric boxes, fixtures, duct, penetrations, ceiling grilles and joints in framing. And the only reason cold air leaks in from the outside at the lower levels of the house, is that warm air leaked out of the top and created a suction at the bottom. Attics are dramatically under-insulated compared to today’s standards. Result - cold drafty rooms downstairs, colder floors, house is harder to heat and keep comfortable, higher fuel and electric bills.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to help them, in part, by air sealing and re-insulating the attic after removing the damp insulation. Adding insulation in an attic without sealing all air leaks first should never be done, because it is just burying air leaks and making them impossible to seal later - and insulation DOES NOT STOP air leaks. That’s why we first carefully air sealed the many various points where air from the home leaks up into the attic and is lost. After that, our premium TruSoft™ cellulose insulation was blown to the optimum R-value (R60). TruSoft™ will not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. Blown insulation fills all gaps and odd shaped voids, and by filling over framing members, “thermal bridging” is avoided. Results - a warmer, more comfortable, less drafty house that the homeowner will notice everywhere - even downstairs! House is quieter. Fuel and electric bills are lower.
