Blown-In Insulation Before & After Photos

This home in Dunkirk, Maryland was suffering from cold drafts and uncomfortable temperatures that the homeowners suspected was because of insufficient insulation in the attic space. Complete Home Solutions came to the home and, after performing an energy audit, determined that the hoemowners were right. Our team concluded that the best way to solve this problem was to use blow in cellulose insulation, which allowed the attic space to better insulate the home.

In Dunkirk, Maryland we have a home that heated up way too much in the summer and just about froze in the winter. The problem? An attic that was leaking mass amounts of air in and out of the house. Running the air conditioning doesn't help much in this case because the hot air from the attic (which can reach around 130 degrees) is moving into your living space and heating it up significantly.

CHS knew exactly how to solve this kind of problem. We took out whatever insulation was worn out, air sealed the attic (with caulk and spray foam), and blew in cellulose insulation (which has a nice dense consistency to it). We created a much more comfortable home that no longer needs to work its HVAC unit to death. 

This homeowner had very drafty rooms that became unbearably cold in the winter. Rather than waiting for winter to come through and freeze her house up, she decided to have CHS come out and diagnose what was going on with her house (and tell her what we could do to fix it).

After performing a home energy audit, CHS found that the attic was an area of concern. The old BATT insulation that was up there was just not cutting it. We needed to move the old insulation out of the way so that we could then air seal and then add blown in cellulose insulation. The ruler that you see in the picture on the right is used to show the homeowner how much insulation should be in there attic (R-49 which is about 14 in). Now this homeowner can be prepared to enjoy winter from a warm, cozy, comfortable home. 

This waterfront home in Edgewater, MD was suffering from high energy bills and insufficient insulation.

We performed a thourough home evaluation to determine where the home was leaking air. Our production team air sealed the home to prevent future air leakage and added blown cellulose insuation to a value of R-49 in the attic to better insulate the home and save money on their energy bills.

If you can see the floor of your attic (like you can in the before picture) then there is definitely a problem. There should be plenty of air sealing and insulation to keep your home efficient, healthy, and comfortable. That's what Complete Home Solutions was able to do for this customer. The difference was astounding and the customer was very happy with the result!
