Air sealing an area with spray foam is an effective way to not only insulate it but to also prevent any air leakage which causes energy loss. Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has done just that to the rim joists in this Lincoln, DE home.
Homeowner was looking to have a warmer home in the winter and needed to add insulation to his attic! The homeowner was happy with the installation of insulation in his attic.
Another perfect job by Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva. The SuperAttic Conversion System makes the attic a more comfortable temperature year round. This Georgetown homeowner converted his attic to a SuperAttic before installing the new HVAC. If you have duct work or your HVAC in the attic, you need the SuperAttic.
We were called by Karen for a number of reasons. She had been interested in encapsulation to (1) help deter mice in crawlspace, (2) improve overall home health and air quality. After inspection we walked Karen through what we found. She had high humidity levels and wood moisture content which can be the cause of microbial growth in your crawl.
Fifty percent of the air we breathe on the first floor of the home comes from the crawl space. If you have duct work with any sort of tears or gaps (which most duct work has) in the crawl space you could also be bringing in dirt, mold spores, and dust directly into your home.
The encapsulation system we installed for Karen is going to help in multiple ways. Exchanging fiberglass batts (which rodents and insects love) for high-density foam board and completely sealing the ground off will improve the air quality, help deter rodents and insects, and also made her whole home significantly warmer.

In Pittsville, Maryland, homeowners were frantic about making their kids bed and bathrooms more comfortable. With the winter season coming around the corner, they quickly called Dr. Energy Saver to come out and inspect their home to find a solution to their issue.
After Dr. Energy Saver representative went over the problem and solution to the homeowner which was the lack of insulation inside of their attic.
During production, we sealed any penetrations inside of the attic where air could seep through and re-insulated their attic well above the average amount. This will eliminate those cold and drafty rooms. Also lowering the cost of home ownership for the homeowners!
