Home Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Wyoming, Delaware were experiencing cold drafts coming through their downstairs and kitchen. Unsure of where the cool air was coming, they phoned Dr. Energy Saver. 

Our In Home Comfort Specialist then came out and sat down with the customer, listening to the issues that they were experiencing first hand. After a brief sit down, we inspected the home finding the problem that was causing the cold draft and increase in fuel and electric bills.

We then came back out with our production crew and got to work. Immediately, we attack underneath the unisulated bay window sill where air leaked inside the home. Also the kneewall space where cold air was coming through the leaky fascia/soffit assemblies.

With those issues fixed, the homeowners felt immediate comfort inside the home. Another satisfied customer with Dr. Energy Saver. 

This Felton, DE homeowner knew he needed to have his nasty crawlspace looked at by a professional. Lawson Home Services prepared the crawlspace for proper mold treatment by removing moldy, damaged isulation from the crawl space ceiling and applying a mold treatment. A CleanSpace Encapsulation System with Drainage Matting was installed along with a SaniDry Sedona Crawl Space Air System and a SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System to keep the crawlspace dry at all times! 

The underside of this overhang, also known as a cantilever, is directly connected to the floor of the above room.  This homeowner previously had no insulation in this space, as can be seen in the before photo.  The after image shows SilverGlo rigid board insulation installed in this Claymont, DE home, and air sealed by Dr. Energy Saver.  This will prevent air from getting under the floor boards and causing temperatures changes in the room. 

Homeowners in Harrington, DE wanted to create a conditioned attic out of their vented attic. 

These homeowners had dirty and old attic insulation that needed to be removed. After the many months or years that insulation sits in the attic, it collects dirt, dust, rodents, etc. 

Not only did they need new their old insulation removed, they also needed a product that would properly insulate their vented attic. 

Vented attics can reach extreme temperatures do to air leakage. This causes the attic to not be suitable for storage as well as causes high utility costs.  

Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has installed closed cell spray foam in layers along the bottom of the roof deck and sealed to the perimeter of the ceiling. This creates an airtight cap which stops air from leaking in or out of the attic. 

After spray foam insulation, the attic can be used for storage, the home is less drafty and it helps lower utility costs. 

Insufficient insulation and lack of air sealing was causing this homeowner discomfort in the summer months.  There were parts of the home that were just too warm and clammy.

We removed the old, dirty insulation, airsealed, and blew in 17’’ of cellulose to increase their r-value of 19 up to 60.  Secure dams keep the insulation in place and decking not only provides storage, but allows easy access to anyone needing to examine the attic in the future.
