Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

This classic Cape Cod style home in Annapolis was suffering from drafts and high energy bills.

We performed a home energy audit to identify the areas in the home where air was leaking.  The production crew provided air sealing in the attic and other areas of the home to prevent future air leakage, lower the customer's utility bills, and make the home more comfortable overall. We also spray foam insulated this unconditioned closet to make it part of the conditioned space of the home.

This homeowner in Columbia, MD had noticed more and more that the bottom level of their home was more challenging to keep comfortable. Following a call to Complete Home Solutions our Home Comfort Specialist discovered there was older batt Insulation above their drop ceiling with no form of insulation in the rim joist along the exterior walls. The recommendation to fix this problem was to pull back the batt insulation in the ceiling and apply spray foam in the rim joist along all the exterior walls creating a solid barrier which restricts the outside air from making its way inside, and on the day of the job our Home Comfort Technicians took care of the rest. This process allowed the homeowner to regulate the temperature in the lower level of their home much easier, creating a comfortable conditioned space. 

This homeowner in Friendship MD had a crawl space that had moisture problems in their crawl space, which were also causing odor and moisture issues inside their home. Following a call to Complete Home Solutions, our Home Comfort Specialist was able to a make the recommendation of a Crawl Space Encapsulation. Our Encapsulation process removes any ground water with the use of a sump pump, which pumps water form your crawl space away from your home. Our Home Comfort Technicians then seal your crawl space from the earth with the use of our CleanSpace vapor barrier. The vapor barrier prevents any moisture or unwanted pests from entering your crawl space from the ground. We then spray foam the walls of the crawl space. The Spray foam is a to prevent moisture or humidity from coming in from exterior walls of your craw. Our final step was the installation of a dehumidifier, which keeps the humidity of the home between 50-55%. 

After completion of the encapsulation the homeowner noticed an immediate difference in the humidity levels in their home, as well as the elimination of the musty smell of the crawl space that was making its way into the home.

Chris's home in Friendship, MD was experiencing comfort issues throughout the first floor. In the winter the floors would be cold, impacting the overall temperature in the first floor. Chris took the right first step by calling Complete Home Solutions to assess the problem . Upon arrival, our trained Home Comfort Specialist began his analysis in the crawl space of the home, where he discovered several key indicators of Chris's uncomfortable first floor. With cracks along the exterior walls of the crawl space as well as  insulation that was in pretty rough shape, it was easy to determine that this was the source of the comfort problems. 

On the day of the installation our crew began by removing all of the old batt insulation from the floor joist above, before spraying the area with our 2 part closed cell spray foam insulation. The next step was to tape and repair the vapor barrier which was laying on the crawl space floor. Our crew then finished the job by securing the vapor barrier to the walls and sealing the cracks simultaneously. By securing the vapor barrier along the cracks in the wall with our fire block spray foam it now restricts an air from making its way into the crawl space, while also keeping any moisture from rising up from the ground. 

Chris noticed an immediate difference in the floor temperature of his home and cant wait to see the difference as the weather outside begins to change.

Jim called Complete Home Solutions to address the humidity and comfort issues in his one-story Deale, MD home. Along with a full crawl space encapsulation, our Home Comfort Specialist also recommended applying our 2 part closed cell spray foam to the exposed floor joist underneath an addition to the home. Applying this spray foam will create a solid barrier that will restrict air from making its way into the home through any seams or cracks in the wood or allowing external temperatures to affect the floor above directly. On installation day our Home Comfort Technicians removed all of the old insulation that had been damaged due to humidity issues before applying the new spray foam. Jim noticed an immediate difference in the temperature of his floors and cant wait to see the difference it will make in the humid summer months.
