Case Study: Attic Insulation and Air Sealing in Queens Village, NY
The attic space where insulation was needed and was installed by the Zavza Seal team

Project Overview

Zavza Seal LLC recently completed an attic insulation and air sealing project in Queens Village, NY. The project aimed to enhance the home’s energy efficiency, improve indoor air quality, and create a healthier living environment. Our team utilized environmentally friendly materials and state-of-the-art techniques to ensure superior results.

Scope of Work

The subject area was the attic, approximately 750 sq. ft. The project included:

Temporary Removal of Plywood:

We carefully removed the plywood flooring in the attic to access the underlying areas for treatment and insulation.

Disinfection and Rodent Repellent Application:

We sprayed the entire attic with an all-natural disinfectant. This product effectively eliminates mold, mildew, viruses, and bacteria while repelling rodents. It’s non-flammable, odorless, and has the lowest EPA toxicity rating, ensuring a safe application.

Air Sealing:

The team sealed all gaps and cracks in the attic to prevent air leaks, which is crucial for improving energy efficiency and reducing heating and cooling costs.

Cellulose Insulation Installation:

Cellulose insulation was blown in to achieve an R-value of 15, meeting industry standards for thermal resistance. This insulation is environmentally friendly, fire-resistant (Class 1 fire rating), and provides excellent sound absorption and moisture resistance.

Reinstallation of Plywood:

The plywood flooring was restored to its original position, ensuring the attic remained functional and accessible.

Challenges and Solutions

Challenge: Ensuring the disinfection process was thorough without causing disruption to the household.

Solution: Our all-natural disinfectant allowed us to achieve comprehensive mold and mildew removal while being odorless and non-irritating, ensuring minimal disruption to the occupants.

Challenge: Installing insulation in a confined attic space.

Solution: Our skilled team used specialized equipment to blow in cellulose insulation efficiently and evenly.
