Insulating The Attic, Second Floor, And Basement Of A Cape Cod Style Home - Olivebridge, NY

This homeowner was referred to us by a local mold remediation contractor. The original reason that they reached out to us is that their crawl space and basement were extremely wet. Because of this serious mold formed. 

Due to the excess amount of water, the structural integrity of their home was in complete disarray. Because of how forgone their home was the best option was to knock the home down and start from scratch.

Once they had knocked their existing home down and rebuilt a new cape cod style home, they contacted Foamco to insulate their attic, second floor and basement. To ensure that this home was up to code, we sprayed seven inches of closed-cell spray foam in the exposed slopes of the main attic. Once completed, we moved onto the main beam of the attic. Here we sprayed three inches of closed-cell spray foam on average to seal the thermal envelope of the home.

Once the attic was complete we turned our attention to the second floor. Here we sprayed three inches of closed-cell spray foam in two exterior walls of the two gable walls, as well as the exterior walls of four dormers. Finally, before calling this project complete we sprayed three inches of closed-cell in the basement. Specifically in the rim joists.

Since completing this project the homeowners have noticed a tremendous decrease in their energy costs as well the comfort level of their home. Since insulating their home they have barely had to turn on the heat during this extremely cold fall that we have been having in upstate New York.
