Home Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Bryan noticed that some water had leaked in over the liner in the fully encapsulated crawl space of his family’s home.  This wasn’t good news but to make the problem worse it also damaged the ductwork in the crawl space.  

He called a company that quoted a price to put in a new liner and replace the damaged ductwork. The only problem was after arrival the price originally quoted kept getting higher and higher.  At one point the company said they couldn’t even complete all the original work that had been agreed upon.

At Lawson’s we hate to hear these stories, but we were happy that on a recommendation from a coworker, Bryan called us.  While we can’t always foresee every issue we come across, we do our best to do a thorough inspection and account for any sort of difficulties that may arise.  In Bryan’s case everything was VERY straightforward.  

After a thorough inspection we walked Bryan through the steps to fixing his crawl space.  In this case we were focusing on two items:  (1) Fixing his ground water issues, and (2) controlling the moisture level in the crawl space.

On inspection the amount of standing water was alarming so we recommended not only a sump but a full interior perimeter drainage system.  The family plans on staying in the home a long time and wants to make sure that there are no issues again with the ductwork or that mold and microbial growth don't occur.  (A drainage system only takes care of the standing water, not necessarily moisture/high humidity.)  So we also installed our Clean Space antimicrobial liner and a dehumidifier.

We rarely are the least expensive quote when it comes to the work we do, but we were glad that Bryan and his family saw the value in a permanent fix to their problem.  As we already mentioned, we can't forsee every challenge we come across, but like in most of our contracts, the price originally quoted was the price Bryan ended up paying, no hidden or surprise charges.

Air sealing an area with spray foam is an effective way to not only insulate it but to also prevent any air leakage which causes energy loss. Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has done just that to the rim joists in this Lincoln, DE home.  

Despite putting an extra layer of batted fiberglass insulation in the attic bringing the R-value up to 38, this Lincoln, DE homeowner still had issues with comfort at home and high energy bills.  Here, Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has upgraded this attic from the standard batted fiberglass insulation, which still allows the flow of air through it, to blown in cellulose insulation. This cellulose will not only prevent the flow of air but it has also been installed to an R-value of 60 which will make this homeowner much more comfortable as well as cutting down for the cost of heating and air for the home.   

Homeowner's in Salisbury, MD. had a leaky crawl space access door and well. Leaky crawl space access doors can cause mold, rot, bugs, water and odors. The well over time fills up with leaves and water. To solve this common problem, Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva must seal off all water and air from the outside.

The solution to this problem is the Turtl Crawl Space Access System. The Turtl Crawl Space access system is an airtight door and a sealed access well in one unit. All a homeowner has to do is open the lid to crawl into the crawl space without getting wet or dirty. The Turtl is airtight, watertight and will never rust or rot. 

A homeowner in Salisbury, MD was struggling with keeping her second floor warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The cause of her concern was an interior wall exposed to her attic.

 Some homes are constructed with rooms that have walls exposed to the drastic attic temperatures. If the wall is not properly insulated then it allows air to pass through it. This can cause the rooms to uncomfortably hot or cold and causes high utility costs.

 Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva solves this problem by installing SilverGlo Insulation and air sealed along the exposed wall. SilverGlo stops heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. The results are more comfortable rooms while also lowering utility costs.

Now the homeowner can be comfortable in her own home while also saving money!
