We were called by Karen for a number of reasons. She had been interested in encapsulation to (1) help deter mice in crawlspace, (2) improve overall home health and air quality. After inspection we walked Karen through what we found. She had high humidity levels and wood moisture content which can be the cause of microbial growth in your crawl.
Fifty percent of the air we breathe on the first floor of the home comes from the crawl space. If you have duct work with any sort of tears or gaps (which most duct work has) in the crawl space you could also be bringing in dirt, mold spores, and dust directly into your home.
The encapsulation system we installed for Karen is going to help in multiple ways. Exchanging fiberglass batts (which rodents and insects love) for high-density foam board and completely sealing the ground off will improve the air quality, help deter rodents and insects, and also made her whole home significantly warmer.

Blown In Fiberglass Insulation is helping this Sussex County homeowner to enjoy a more comfortable and efficient home. This homeowner had the typical Milton, DE home that was built to code, but the homeowner still had issues keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The Dr. Energy Saver team helped make this home more comfortable year round with Air Sealing and adding more Blown In Insulation over the fiberglass batts to provide an even coverage.
This homeowner in Milton, DE was experiencing drafts and cold floors in the winter. The cause of their uncomfortability in their home were air leaks due to a poorly insulated attic. This causes cold drafry rooms, colder floor, and it becomes harder to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.
Dr. Energy Saver asseses the problem by sealing off leaks in the attic floor and installing TruSoft Cellulose Insulation. The results are a warmer and less drafty house while also lowering fuel and electric bills.
Not only does Dr. Energy Saver solve the homeowners problems, they also help the homeowners save money in the future.
Homeowners in Milton, DE were experiencing drafts and moisture in their home and wanted an afforadable solution to their problems.
The root of the homeowners uncomfortableness was their vented dirt crawl spaces. In the winter the vents let in cold air and in the summer the vents let in the humidity. This causes mold, drafts and higher electric bills.
Dr. Energy Saver's solution was a CleanSpace Encapsulation System. With this system, vents and outside leaks are sealed using our insulated vent covers. The results are lower humidity in crawl spaces, less drafts and lower electric bills.
These homeowners can finally be comfortable in their own home while also saving money in the future by being energy effecient.
In Pittsville, Maryland, homeowners were frantic about making their kids bed and bathrooms more comfortable. With the winter season coming around the corner, they quickly called Dr. Energy Saver to come out and inspect their home to find a solution to their issue.
After Dr. Energy Saver representative went over the problem and solution to the homeowner which was the lack of insulation inside of their attic.
During production, we sealed any penetrations inside of the attic where air could seep through and re-insulated their attic well above the average amount. This will eliminate those cold and drafty rooms. Also lowering the cost of home ownership for the homeowners!
