This homeowner in Dover, DE was struggling with their crawl space. Their crawl space was leaking water and was not properly insulated causing access water, mold, humidity and high utility costs.
Dr. Energy Saver has installed a SmartSump, Drainage Matting, SilverGlo and a CleanSpace Encapsulation system to solve these homeowners concerns.
The SmartSump is installed at the lowest point in the crawl space. There, the SmartSump will collect access water and pump it outside.
The Drainage Matting is dimpled and installed over the crawl space floor to provide space for water flow.
SilverGlo insulation is installed along the walls of the crawl space to prevent any air flow into the crawlspace.
Finally, the crawl space is encapsulated. The CleanSpace Encapsulation liner is installed over the drainage matting and fastened to the walls. The results are much lower humidity in the crawl space, a dry, clean crawl space and lower utility costs.
These homeowners can finally live comfortably in their own home!
Even though this attic appears to be well insulated the homeowners still dealt with uncomfortable conditions in their home year round. After meeting with one of our Certified Home Comfort Specialists, these homeowners decided to upgrade their attic with our SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation. Infused with graphite in the foam that acts as tiny heat reflectors, the R-value of SilverGlo is 24% higher than standard EPS foam making the home that much more comfortable and efficient. Just so the insulation doesn't have to do all of the work alone, SilverGlo has radiant barrier on both sides which reflect heat taking it's efficiency level even higher.
The owners of this Dover, DE home dealt with uncomfortable conditions in their home even though it would seem that they had enough insulation. The insulation fills the cavities in walls so that must be the highest R-Value, right? Wrong! Standard batted fiberglass with an R-Value of 19 is about 6.5" thick. Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has installed SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation that is just 4" thick with a higher R-Value and comes complete with radiant barrier on both sides to deflect direct heat off of the home while preventing conditioned air inside from escaping resulting in a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
Are all of your home's exhaust fans properly vented? These Dover, DE homeowners complained of cold floors. Part of the issue stemmed from an under-insulated cantilever. While preparing to replace the standard batted fiberglass with a much more energy efficient rigid foam board insulation with radiant barrier named SilverGlo, our crew discovered a bathroom exhaust duct which had never been properly vented. If left alone the unvented exhaust could have caused these homeowners grief in the future. Our crew not only replaced their old insulation with the state of the art SilverGlo, but they also created a way for the exhaust to be properly vented. A vent cover was attached to the soffit that lined up perfectly with the exhaust duct when put back into place.
Blown In Fiberglass Insulation on the attic floor and SilverGlo™ Foam on the Attic Kneewall helps this Kent County homeowner save money on their utility bills while keeping the home comfortable year round.
