Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

Travis was seeking a solution to his high heating and cooling costs and discovered Tyson Energy Solutions from our hundreds of 5-star Google reviews. We came out and inspected Travis’s attic and found that he only had about 3 inches of old cellulose insulation present, with dozens of air leakage points visible. Travis decided that he wanted an attic restoration in order to capitalize on the reduction in his heating and cooling costs.

We took the following steps to perform Travis’s attic restoration:

1. vacuumed out the old cellulose insulation
2. cleaned and sanitized the attic with DSV sanitizer to eliminate odors, irritants, and contaminants
3. air-sealed leakage points on the attic floor including top plates, wiring and plumbing penetrations, registers, and recessed lights
4. installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points to keep rodents and other pests from entering the attic
5. blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R49 level, exceeding the minimum Energy Star recommendation for our climate

As a result of the work we did, Travis and his family will enjoy the following benefits for as long as they live in their home:

1. reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%
2. better indoor air quality and less dust in their home
3. a cool, comfortable home in summer and warm, cozy home in winter
4. a higher resale value should they ever decide to sell their home

Bob contacted us because he was concerned about rodents in his attic and the mess they had made with his attic insulation. He was concerned about the space being contaminated but also the uncomfortable temperatures in his home. When we came out and inspected his attic, we discovered only about 6 inches of old insulation present, as well as heavy levels of rodent droppings and other debris littered throughout the attic. Bob decided he wanted a complete attic restoration to clean up and decontaminate the space and maximize the energy efficiency on his home.

We took the following steps to complete the attic restoration:

1. vacuumed out all old insulation and removed debris
2. cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer to remove odors, contaminants, and irritants
3. air-sealed all leakage points including top plates, plumbing and wiring penetrations, recessed lights, and registers
4. installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents from re-entering the attic
5. blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level

As a result of the work we did, Bob will now enjoy the following benefits for as long as he resides in the home:

1. better indoor air quality
2. reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%
3. a warm, toasty home in winter and a cool, comfortable home in summer
4. a higher resale value should he ever decide to sell his house

Maryann called us because her home felt exceptionally hot and uncomfortable, particularly in the upstairs portion of her home. When we inspected her attic, we discovered that her insulation was lacking: she only had minimal fiberglass batting insulation in the attic, and it was not installed properly. This meant that the hot attic air was easily able to flow into the living spaces of the home, making it hot. We determined that in order to make Maryann’s home more comfortable and energy-efficient, we needed to perform an attic restoration.

We began by removing all of the old batting insulation and debris from the attic. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer in order to eliminate dirt, mold, and other microbes. Next, we air-sealed the attic including top plates, plumbing and wire penetrations, registers, and recessed lights. We further sealed the attic by installing rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the space. Lastly, we blew in fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, or 14 inches. This brought the home up to Energy Star-recommendations.

As a result of our comprehensive attic restoration, Maryann and her family will experience better indoor air quality, a cooler home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they live in the home.
