Client Location: Jamaica, NY
Service Provided: Blown-In Cellulose Insulation for Exterior Walls

Client Observation

A homeowner in Jamaica, NY, reached out to Zavza Seal LLC with concerns about the cold temperature of their 1st-floor exterior walls. The walls were poorly insulated or had very little old insulation, resulting in uncomfortable indoor temperatures and high heating costs. The client noticed significant heat loss and wanted a solution to improve the home’s energy efficiency.

Diagnosis by Zavza Seal LLC Team

Upon inspection, the Zavza Seal team confirmed that the exterior walls of the 1st floor, covering approximately 960 sq. ft. (35 feet long, 25 feet wide, and 8 feet high), lacked adequate insulation. This deficiency was causing the walls to remain cold and reducing the overall comfort of the home. Some walls, especially those with tiles or cabinets, were excluded from the project to avoid costly repairs that would outweigh the insulation benefits. The clear solution was to increase the R-value of the walls through effective insulation.

Proposed Solution: Blown-In Cellulose Insulation

To address the client’s concerns, Zavza Seal LLC recommended blown-in cellulose insulation. This solution would enhance the walls’ thermal performance, improve comfort, and reduce energy costs. The key steps in the process included:

1. Cutting Access Ports: The team cut access ports in every wall cavity between the framing studs to allow the insulation hoses to be inserted.
2. Blowing in Cellulose Insulation: Environmentally friendly cellulose insulation was blown into the wall cavities, ensuring full coverage and maximizing the R-value.
3. Sealing and Patching: After insulation was complete, the access ports were patched and compounded to restore the walls. (The homeowner would handle sanding and painting.)

Benefits of the Solution

• Increased Energy Efficiency: The blown-in cellulose insulation significantly increased the R-value, reducing heat loss and improving indoor comfort.
• Environmentally Friendly: The insulation material used is eco-friendly and Gold Certified, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
• Fire Resistant: The insulation meets Class 1 fire rating standards, enhancing home safety.
• Noise Reduction: The insulation substantially reduces outside noise, providing a quieter living space.
• Moisture Resistance: Offers protection against water and moisture, reducing the risk of mold and mildew.

Results

The client reported immediate improvements in the comfort and warmth of their home. The newly insulated exterior walls helped maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reduced heating costs, and improved overall energy efficiency. Additionally, the noise reduction provided a more peaceful living environment.
