Project Overview

A client in Jamaica, NY, sought Zavza Seal LLC’s expertise to improve their home’s energy efficiency and address insulation issues. The project covered multiple areas, including doors, windows, and exposed basement concrete walls. Our comprehensive approach ensured better insulation, air sealing, and overall comfort for the client’s home.

Project Details

1. Doors and Windows

• Air Sealing: Our team expertly air-sealed 12 windows and 4 doors to eliminate drafts and improve the home’s energy efficiency.
• Window Replacement: We replaced two 2 ft x 5 ft windows with double-hung, energy-efficient, low-e argon glass windows, significantly enhancing thermal performance.
• Screen Door Repair: We installed a missing glass panel for the back screen door, restoring its functionality and appearance.

2. Basement Concrete Walls

• Exposed Walls: The client’s basement had two exposed concrete walls (15 linear feet and 10 linear feet) that required insulation.
• Insulation Installation: To address this, we installed R-15 closed-cell polyethylene foam with reflective reinforced foil. This material acts as both an air and vapor barrier, ensuring optimal insulation and moisture control.
• Preparation: The homeowner prepared the area by removing all items near or attached to the walls, enabling a smooth and efficient installation process.

Challenges

• Tight Deadlines: The project required timely execution to meet the client’s schedule. Our team worked efficiently to complete the tasks without compromising quality.
• Basement Access: Limited space in the basement area necessitated careful planning and execution for the insulation installation.

Results

• Enhanced Energy Efficiency: The new low-e argon glass windows, combined with air sealing and basement insulation, significantly reduced energy loss.
• Improved Comfort: The client reported a noticeable improvement in indoor comfort, with fewer drafts and consistent temperatures throughout the home.
• Moisture Control: The installation of closed-cell foam insulation helped mitigate moisture concerns, protecting the basement walls from potential dampness.
