Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This attic in New Hudson had a uneven amount of insulation. The dirty color comes from wind washing. This occurs when air from below levels is driven threw the homes walls and penetrations. This causes dirty insulation and shows how much heat loss happens in your conditioned space.  We removed the insulation air sealed and add new TruSoft Cellulose insulation

The interior drywall would be covered in condensation every winter and cause streaks in the paint that the homeowner would then have to touch up every year.  The problem was caused by the interior vertical wall on the vaulted ceiling being exposed to the attic without sufficient insulation providing a good thermal barrier between the warm interior air that was rising, coming in contact with the interior wall exposed to the cold temperature inside of the attic. Our solution was to install an R20 foam board with a radiant barrier on either side across the vaulted vertical wall and air seal between the insulation and the wall. 

  The homeowner noticed every winter that he would get moisture on his wall in his living room where his vaulted ceiling vertical  interior wall is exposed to the attic. The interior drywall would be covered in condensation every winter and cause streaks in the paint that the homeowner would then have to touch up every year.

Our customer started with an under-insulated attic, no air sealing in sight and some mold on the sheathing.  With hood vents and bathroom fans venting into the attic, it was no wonder mold was present.  TCI was able to dispose of the old, contaminated insulation, air seal, vent everything through the roof and blow in cellulose to achieve R-49.

This attic had mold and lacking in insulation along with incorrect ventilation. After remediation we air sealed, removed and added all new cellulose insulation.
