Home Insulation Photo Album: Insulation Overhaul for Duluth, MN Attic and Basement

Duluth, MN homeowners were tired of the negative impacts their improperly insulated basement and crawl space was having on the rest of their home. They noted temperature and humidity fluctuations, causing significant energy bills. To learn more about what steps were needed to properly insluate the home, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver® services. A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit it was determined that closed cell spray foam, combined with highly dense cellulose would offer the best solution for the temperature regulation problem in the attic. Our production crew completely the attic insulation and additionally, they applied spray foam to the basement walls.

Basement Walls Un-insulated

These basement walls are unable to offer much protection for the home against cold temperatures.

Rim Joists to be Sealed

Ceiling at the rim joists will prevent cold air from entering the basement.

Spray Foam Applied in Tight Spaces

Our production team is able to apply spray foam insulation behind important utilities where rigid foam insulation can't.

Closed-Cell Spray Foam

Closed-cell works just like it sounds; at the cellular level, our foam's cell are closed, meaning that no air or water can penetrate it.

Basement Walls and Rim Joists Insulated

As air is warmed in the home, it wants to travel upward. Therefore, sealing the rim joists is key to preventing warm air from escaping upwards.

Existing Attic Insulation

It's difficult to see, but yes, there is insulation present in this attic. It has settles and disintegrated to the point that it's no longer effective.

Attic Allowing Cold Air to Enter

There are very clearly gaps in the areas where this insulation is not able to provide protection.

Attic Insulation to Be Removed

Our crew will first remove the existing insulation. The will then apply spray foam to seal the floor joints. From there, we will blow-in additional cellulose insulation.

Spray Foam In Attic

Once applied, spray foam expands to fill gaps and cracks, far out-performing fiberglass batting.

3-inches of Spray Foam

3-inches of spray foam gives this attic an R-value of 7.

Blown-In Insulation

This homeowner was interested in obtaining the most protection possible in the attic. After our spray foam had cured, we blew-in ultra dense cellulose insulation as well.
