Home Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner called us to help solve the mystery smell and cold floors in her Pocono Pines home. She wasn't sure what she needed but she knew she needed help. Her home was built in the early 1960's as a summer cottage. The crawlspace was in very rough shape with the insulation falling down from the floor which is a sign of high moisture levels. We removed the ineffective fiberglass insulation. Installed our patented CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation system and spray insulated the foundation walls to seal out moisture and help to keep the home more comfortable. Now this home is more efficient and much healthier!

This home suffered from high heating bills and the homeowners suffered from allergies year round. Their allergies were actually worse when they were home for extended periods of time. You can see why. We installed our patented CleanSpace system along with a Zoeller pump and interior drains to manage the water issues.

Burke Home Services was contacted by Poplar Valley Methodist Church in Stroudsburg, PA to evaluate some concerns the members had with the crawlspace. Years ago a contractor came along and spray insulated the floor joists under the entire church, this helped with the insulation but did nothing to correct the moisture problems underneath. In fact, it made it worse. Burke Construction utilized the CleanSpace system along with spray insulation, properly applied to the foundation walls, to seal and eliminate the moisture problems! We also sealed and taped all the ductwork in the newly encapsulated crawlspace to reduce duct leakage. The members said the noticed a difference immediately!

The beautiful, 100-year-old home in Pen Argyl was originally built without insulation. Over the year the current owner had made many upgrades to the home but the majority of the structure was still without insulation. We were able to remove the siding from the home and, by a process known as "Dense Packing" fill the walls with TruSoft Cellulose insulation to seal and insulate the walls after so many years without insulation. Imagine the money that was lost over the year through the UN-insulated walls, trying to heat and cool the old home. After the very first day, the owner noticed the house was quieter. He couldn't hear the traffic on the street in front of his home as much, by the second day they were turning the thermostat DOWN. Imagine, in December, turning the thermostat down because your home is finally too warm! We plugged the holes we made, re-installed the vinyl siding, and the house looked just like it did before we got there. The big changes were under the surface. Warmer, quieter, and far more energy-efficient. This project will pay for itself in just a few years!

Can lights are very leaky and inefficient. A great way to save money on heating is to seal can lights with our patented TiteShell recessed can light covers. The TiteShell can light covers are a fire retardant way to protect your lights from the insulation being blown over top while completely sealing them from air leakages.
