Before & After Photos

The homeowner in this case had been noticing worsening ice damming over the past few years, especially along certain areas of the exterior of their home. After investigating the issue by looking inside the knee walls, they found that the insulation was either lacking or insufficient, which was likely contributing to the ice damming problem. With plans to pass the house down to their daughter, the homeowner wanted to address this issue once and for all, ensuring the home would be properly insulated and protected for years to come.

Our team tackled the issue by installing 18" of TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation in the attic floor, along with baffles to ensure proper airflow and ventilation. We also applied closed-cell spray foam in critical areas where additional insulation was needed to seal gaps and prevent heat loss. The result? A well-insulated attic space with improved airflow, significantly reducing the risk of ice dams. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing the home is more energy-efficient, and they can confidently pass it on to the next generation with no worries about insulation or ice damming issues. The house is now prepared for winter’s challenges, with lasting protection in place.
