This homeowner in New London, CT reached out to us about his vacation home. He wanted to insulate the home, since it was uncomfortable. It also had energy efficiency issues. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that they had inefficient fiberglass batts in the attic.
We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the fiberglass batts, putting them into bags and bringing them out of the house. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the attic was air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner is now much more comfortable!
This homeowner in Baltic, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her extreme mold problem in her attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and noted that there was a large amount of insulation, but that it was ineffective. They had had someone come and put fiberglass insulation in over their existing blown-in insulation due to the issues that they were experiencing.
We were able to help this homeowner. We had several solutions that we helped her with. One specific one was re-insulating the attic. We first removed all of the existing insulation -- both fiberglass batts and blown-in insulation.
After that, we went in and air sealed using our Zypfoam™ one-part spray foam. We made sure that all cracks and gaps were sealed, and electrical components were covered with TiteShell™ covers and sealed as well.
Finally, we went in and blew in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation using a long hose. TruSoft™ fills all gaps and odd-shaped voids, meaning that there is a consistent blanket of insulation. This means that the homeowner will have a comfortable home for years to come!

This homeowner in Southbridge, MA called us hoping that he could get the insulation in his attic replaced. Unfortunately, it had mold, and needed to be replaced as soon as possible. We first removed the attic insulation, leaving the attic bare (as seen in this photo). After remediating the mold (another solution!), we were able to get started on re-insulating this attic.
We first went in with our ZypFoam™ one-part spray foam. This was used to seal all cracks and gaps in the attic floor - any place where the air from the home would leak into the attic and get lost. After air sealing, we then took to insulating the main part of the attic with our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is blown-in insulation -- meaning that it is literally blown into the attic using a large hose. We installed this insulation to the optimum R-value of R-60. Since it is blown in insulation, it avoids thermal bridging by covering framing members and fills all cracks, gaps, and odd shaped voids. Now, this homeowner's house is more comfortable than ever!
This homeowner called us out to their home to upgrade their attic insulation. This home was built in 1942, and needed an update! We also noticed some mold in the attic, which could be dangerous! We removed all of the old, nasty insulation and debris from the attic, properly bag it up, and dispose of it. Now we are able to spray our Mold-X Mold Killer in the attic on any and all areas, nooks, and crannies. This will get rid of the mold and make sure new mold spores do not start growing. Now we are able to air seal, and insulate!
We first seal up all top and end plates with foam to make sure there is no air able to escape, and so that the insulation is not trying to work all on its own. Insulation needs to be paired with proper air sealing, otherwise you are burring air leaks with just insulation! Next, we blow in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. This fills in all cracks, gaps, and voids where air could escape through!
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home has updated insulation, and is more energy efficient!
