Whole Home Insulation Before & After Photos

A homeowner in North Olmsted, OH noticed a room below the attic that was not cooling or heating properly. Come to find out, they only had rolled fiberglass insulation on the floor of the attic that had flattened over time. Primary Home Improvements helped solve this problem by insulating the attic with densely packed, high-quality cellulose insulation on top of the old insulation. This attic can now regulate the home's temperatures better! 

This home's attic did not have high enough R-Value to protect against outside air infiltration. The old, rolled fiberglass only provided an R-Value of around R20. R-Value below R30 will not work effectively enough to resist unwanted air flow. Installers at Primary Home Improvements blew high R-Value, dense cellulose on top of the old insulation to create a more functional attic. 

Rotted, old and settled fiberglass was preventing this home from being properly insulated. Before installing Tru-Soft cellulose, installers extracted all of the old debris and insulation to create a blank canvas. That way, Tru-Soft cellulose can work to properly insulate this home. 

Air sealing is important in stopping drafts from entering the home through gaps, cracks, recession lights and other areas of the attic. Installers at Primary Home Improvements first extracted the old fiberglass insulation and then worked to air seal it using foam packs. These spray foam packs permanently seal the area and prevent air infiltration. Air sealing before blowing in new cellulose insulation set this attic up for success! 

This homeowner struggled with insulating their home. The source of the problem: the attic. Their attic was filled with degraded, settled insulation and needed to be cleaned out due to rodent infestation. Primary Home Improvements not only extracted the old, gross insulation, but also air sealed and blew-in cellulose at a high R-Value. Now this attic is sanitized, protected from drafts and properly insulated.
