Cellulose Insulation in Chester, VA Attic

This homeowner wanted to add insulation to their attic to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of their home. We installed a blanket of blown-in cellulose insulation in the attic. The Cellulose insulation used is 85% recycled material and contains a borate that helps to deter pests.

This Chester, VA homeowner wanted to improve the insulation in their attic to reduce heat loss in the winter and radiant heat warming the rooms below in the summer. They chose to keep the existing insulation and add to it, so a fresh blanket of R-30 cellulose insulation was blown in increasing the R-value and reducing heat loss and transfer.

This Chester, VA homeowner wanted to improve their attic insulation to keep rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The homeowner didn't want to remove the old insulation, just add to it so, we installed PVs (proper vents) in between the attic rafters to allow for ventilation and keep insulation out of the soffit vent, then we blew in an R-30 of cellulose insulation. This will help to keep the rooms below more comfortable and reduce energy bills.

Mold and mildew have grown on many of the wooden floor joists in this crawl space. Mold growth can occur on any organic material in the crawl space so long as the relative humidity reaches over 60% during warmer temperatures. Mold spores and musty odors can then rise into the home and irritate...
