Triple H Insulation Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Jericho had requested a free home energy assessment. This home would greatly benefit from proper insulation. We used a radiant barrier to help improve this home. A radiant barrier is a reflective surface that gets installed on the vertical walls with insulation. By using a radiant barrier it could make as much as a 15 or 20 degree difference in the temperature of this attic. A radiant barrier actually reflects the heat energy back towards its source. This will make the home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. It will also help save on the cost of utilities. 

This homeowner in Jericho, NY was having comfort issues. They were feeling drafts in the basement and lower levels on his home. After an evaluation it was determined that the rim joists weren't properly insulated. The Rim Joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. Without it being properly insulated it causes air leakage into the home resulting in cold floors, drafts, and uncomfortable rooms in the basement and lower levels. Triple H installed two part expanding spray foam on the rim joist and over sill plates to seal all air leaks from the outside. Now this home will have warmer floors, less drafts and be more comfortable year-round. 

This home in East Norwhich, NY was uncomfortable. Since attics are vented, we should think of them thermally as outside in the winter. In summer because of the suns radiant heat, they are much worse than outside, reaching 130˚ on summer days. We need to keep an absolute boundary between our living space and the attic so inside air doesn’t move to the attic in the heating season, and heat doesn’t pass up through our ceilings in winter, and down from our ceilings in the hot summer. Triple H went to this home in East Norwich, NY to help this homeowner have a properly insulated attic space so he doesn’t have these problems. They air sealed the attic to prevent leaks, then blew in 12” of cellulose insulation to the contained space. Now this homeowner will have a warmer, more comfortable, less draft home that you’ll notice everywhere.

Before & After we insulated this attic space to make the customers home more energy efficient and comfortable 

During a dense pack exterior wall project, the siding is removed temporarily as necessary and an approximate 2" holes are drilled through the wall sheathing. A fill tube is inserted up and down into the wall cavity to not only fill, but dense pack the wall cavities. Dense packing is a technique that packs the insulation in very tightly. The wall cavities are dense packed with cellulose insulation which can get into all the irregular shaped cavities when packed in. The holes and then plugged and the siding is put back.
