The Drying Co. Before & After Photos

This homeowner has been experiencing high energy bills and uncomfortable rooms throughout their home. They had our advisor assess their whole home for areas to help address these concerns. In the attic we found that the existing blown in fiberglass barely filled the floor joists in some areas, and offered little resistance to heat transfer between the attic and living space. A lack of air sealing along top plates and utility penetrations also allowed conditioned air to escape into the unconditioned attic. 

The solution was to remove the existing insulation allowing us to access all of the top plates and utility penetrations for air sealing then blow in a new blanket of R-49 Cellulose. This will help the homeowner reduce conditioned air loss and heat transfer between the attic and their living space. That means lower energy bills and more comfortable rooms! 

This crawl space had falling insulation, mold/mildew, efflorescence from moisture and condensation, and a failing vapor barrier. We installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System with closed cell spray foam insulation on the crawl space walls, sealed the rim and band and sill plate, and installed a SantaFe Dehumidifier, sealing the home off from the earth and controlling the relative humidity to help make this Williamsburg home more comfortable and energy-efficient.

This homeowner initially contacted us about water and moisture concerns in their crawl space. At their inspection, we found that there were no gutters on the home. This meant that all of the water-shedding off of the roof during a rainstorm was dumping right against the home's foundation and making its way into the crawl space. 

Adding GutterShutter to the home is part of the solution to helping this crawl space. We need to manage the water around the home to prevent water and moisture infiltration into the crawl space as much as possible. The water infiltration, high humidity, and warm temperatures in the crawl space caused mold and mildew growth, and insulation damage under the home which will also be addressed. 

Our client has a basement that is partially underground. This wall has been showing signs of water infiltration. It is the wall that is located below their garage and subgrade. The homeowner uses their basement for storage and as a workshop so they want the space to stay dry and clean, and not have to worry about moisture causing any mold, mildew, or musty odors in the space. 

Our team installed the Waterguard system, a track installed underneath the slab that along with the CleanSpace liner on the wall, diverts infiltrating water to the TripleSafe sump pump system with UltraSump Battery Backup. The system will keep water and moisture from entering the basement and with the battery backup, the homeowner can have peace of mind that even during storms, their home is protected. 

This Williamsburg, VA homeowner has been a lot of heat exchange between their knee wall spaces and the rooms on the other side of the knee wall. This leaves them with rooms that they can't cool down in the summer and that is cold and drafty in the winter. The spaces are also home to ductwork which is impacted by the extreme temperatures making it even harder to heat and cool the living space. 

We applied closed cell spray foam to the attic rafters and gable ends of the knee wall spaces. This will help with the heat radiating through the roof and heating the area up. This will protect the ductwork from extreme temperatures as well, leaving the homeowner with more comfortable rooms.
