Project Overview

A homeowner in Islip, NY, sought Zavza Seal LLC to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of their home through wall insulation. The project encompassed three walls, approximately 1,050 square feet, with the goal of providing effective thermal insulation and sound reduction while meeting high safety standards.

Challenges

The homeowner wanted an insulation solution that was not only energy-efficient but also environmentally friendly, fire-resistant, and capable of reducing outside noise. Additionally, the project required precision in accessing wall cavities and sealing them afterward to ensure a seamless, efficient installation without major disruptions to the home.

Solution

After conducting a thorough inspection, Zavza Seal LLC developed a plan to install dense-packed, blown-in cellulose insulation, achieving an R-value of R-16. This insulation is eco-friendly, Class 1 fire-rated, and offers outstanding moisture resistance, sound absorbency, and noise reduction. Our installation process involved the following steps:

1. Preparation: The homeowner prepared the space by completing drywall repairs before Zavza Seal’s team arrived.
2. Access Port Creation: Our team cut small, strategically placed access ports in the walls to allow for efficient installation of the cellulose insulation.
3. Insulation Installation: Using specialized equipment, we densely packed the cellulose insulation into the wall cavities to provide consistent coverage and thermal resistance throughout the designated areas.
4. Sealing and Finishing: Upon completing the insulation installation, our team sealed the access ports, applied compound, and taped over the openings. (Note: The homeowner handled final sanding and painting, as outlined in the project estimate.)

Before: The condition of the insulation in the ceiling before insulation by the Zavza Seal team.

Results

The dense-packed cellulose insulation met the homeowner’s objectives for energy efficiency, noise reduction, and environmental responsibility. By achieving an R-16 insulation level, the home is now better protected against temperature fluctuations, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs. The fire-resistant and moisture-resistant properties of the insulation contribute to a healthier, safer indoor environment.
