Blown-in & Attic Insulation
There are many homeowners who think that attic is properly insulated. However, 9 out of 10 times it is not. In a nationwide study, it was found that the average American attic only has about 1/3 enough insulation to keep the home properly insulated. That is where The Drying Company recommends blown-in insulation, as it forms a dense layer that will ensure heat will not escape through the top of your home.
When the attic is properly insulated, you can cut heating and cooling costs by up to 20%! Call or click below today to get started. We offer FREE blown-in or attic insulation estimates!

A homeowner in Church Road, VA reached out to our team with concerns about groundwater getting into the basement of their 275-year old home.
At our inspection, we could see that water and moisture infiltration had been an ongoing issue for this home. Efflorescence on the foundation walls indicated the movement of water from the earth through the porous block and into the basement. Efflorescence is a white powdery or chalky substance left behind on the surface of the block as a result of the moisture pulling the sediment in the block to its surface then evaporating. We also noted water staining on the floor of the basement especially in the corners of the room.
After discussing solutions with the homeowner, we determined the best approach to prevent further moisture damage to the space was the WaterGuard System. We would first trench the perimeter of the basement to install drainage rock and the WaterGuard drain track then reinstall concrete over it. This system will collect the infiltrating water and direct it to a sump pump. We would also install CleanSpace on the basement walls, which would direct any water seeping in through the block wall down into the WaterGuard system. The water would be pumped away from the home to a spot designated on the property by a SuperSump Plus Sump Pump System. The SuperSump Plus consists of a basin with a single 1/3 hp pump system with an airtight lid and water watch alarm system. This sump system is also compatible with an optional battery-backup UltraSump which would kick in if the main pump failed or in the event of a power outage.
This solution would give the homeowner peace of mind that their basement would be dry all the time, and they could even finish the space overtop of the system adding valuable square footage to their home.
