House Air Sealed in Friendship, MD
Attic Without Air Sealing
This attic had some insulation in it, but it was pretty old and there wasn't enough of it to be effective. There was no air sealing at all, which means that air was allowed to leak right out.
Attic With Cellulose Insulation
We went ahead and air sealed the attic by caulking any penetrations or openings that we could find. We then applied our blown in cellulose insulation to reach R-49. The air sealing and insulation will work together to provide an efficient, comfortable house.

Here is an example of one of the thermal imaging pictures we took. As you can see, the attic area was letting a lot of air leak out.
Spray Foam Crawl Space Walls
Besides, the attic, we also found that the crawl space walls were not properly air sealed. Cold air usually travels in from the bottom of the house. Sealing and insulating these walls with spray foam will make a huge difference for this homeowner.
This homeowner lives in Friendship, Maryland with her two daughters and their dog. She knew that her home had some problems retaining heat, but never realized how bad it was until Complete Home Solutions came out and performed an energy audit. As a part of the audit, we took a few thermal pictures, which was able to show her the areas in the house where was leaking out of. She was surprised by how inefficient her house really was. She didn't hesitate and had us do the work right away. Now, she and her daughters are living warm and comfortably in their home.
