Worn out cotton insulation collects dust

Traditional materials like cotton and fiberglass provide minimal insulation but create large quantities of particulates as air passes through.

A large attic's temperatures can become extreme

During the summer months, this attic gets extremely hot. That means that the AC has to condition air that passes through attic-bound ductwork over and over.

Ductwork also create air leaks

Around pipes, ductwork, and outlets, air can leak and infiltrate, causing significant wasted energy.

A fresh coat of open cell spray foam

With the attic encapsulated, it will stay at moderate temperatures, which means that the AC only has to cool air once.

Another New Orleans home benefits from closed cell spray foam

A New Orleans home in need of insulation

Like many new Orleans homes, this historic structure was in need of air sealing, moisture sealing, and temperature control.

Air leaks lead to high utility costs

As extreme outdoor temperatures seep into older homes through floorboards, the cost of heating and cooling increases substantially.

Moisture penetrates sub-flooring

In addition to the temperature issue, moisture from the ground also infiltrates floorboards, creating an ideal environment for mold, mildew, and even termites.
