In addition to doing the crawlspace encapsulation in this home, we also spray foamed the rim joist in the part of the home that had a basement area. This will also make the upstairs more insulated and make the overall home more comfortable.
This very leaky attic was costing the homeowner a lot of money when it comes to the energy bills. It's surprising to learn can lights are a top problem in uneven temperatures in most homes. The best way that we could help them out was to air seal and insulate their attic using spray foam insulation and SilverGlo.
While working on this attic in Binghamton, NY; our crew here at Foam It Insulation takes great care to seal many of the place air escapes into that many others don't think of sealing, such as can and recessed lighting fixtures, as well as top plates in the ceiling. Before insulating the attic with our TruSoft blown cellulose insulation, we ensured the attic was tightly sealed by sealing the rim joists as well as top plates.
A crucial part of insulating an attic space lies in filling in gaps and holes. These can occur around light fixtures, joists, etc. We take great care here at Foam It Insulation to ensure that you're comfortable in your home and that the hidden areas that aren't always considered are sealed properly leaving your home well insulated.
Spray foam insulation is one of the fastest and best ways to air seal. These photos show a prime example that every nook and cranny matters.
