Are all of your home's exhaust fans properly vented? These Dover, DE homeowners complained of cold floors. Part of the issue stemmed from an under-insulated cantilever. While preparing to replace the standard batted fiberglass with a much more energy efficient rigid foam board insulation with radiant barrier named SilverGlo, our crew discovered a bathroom exhaust duct which had never been properly vented. If left alone the unvented exhaust could have caused these homeowners grief in the future. Our crew not only replaced their old insulation with the state of the art SilverGlo, but they also created a way for the exhaust to be properly vented. A vent cover was attached to the soffit that lined up perfectly with the exhaust duct when put back into place.
The owners of this Dover, DE home dealt with uncomfortable conditions in their home even though it would seem that they had enough insulation. The insulation fills the cavities in walls so that must be the highest R-Value, right? Wrong! Standard batted fiberglass with an R-Value of 19 is about 6.5" thick. Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has installed SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation that is just 4" thick with a higher R-Value and comes complete with radiant barrier on both sides to deflect direct heat off of the home while preventing conditioned air inside from escaping resulting in a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
Homeowners in Hebron, Maryland were dealing with high humidity inside of their crawlspace. Usually, the relative humidity inside of a crawlspace should range in between 45%-60% in RH(relative humidity). This range determines if your crawlspace is too dry or has to much air moisture leading to sweaty, damp, and smelly insulation.
These homeowners called out Dr. Energy Saver to fix their issue. During the inspection of his crawlspace, we measured the RH at 73.5% which caused his crawlspace to become potentially an area for microbial growth. We resolved this issue before any damages were done by installing our SaniDry dehumidifier.
This will result in the humidity levels to drop and remain constant and a healthy, dry, and odorless crawlspace. These homeowners were thrilled at the results.
Look at this drastic transformation! Amazing job by the Lawson Home Services team and a happy homeowner is what we strive for the most!
