Replacing Old Insulation with Blown-In Cellulose in Rumson, NJ

After quite a long time dealing with an insufficient attic, this homeowner in Rumson, NJ, gave our Attic Systems division a call and wanted them to add blown-in cellulose insulation to her attic. As we inspected the attic, we noticed that the insulation was so old, that is was falling apart the moment we picked it up!

So the first thing we did was remove all the old insulation and properly dispose of it. Next, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic, which will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, improving energy efficiency. Afterward, we installed Tight Shell Can Light Covers over the recessed lights in the attic. These are made out of a fire resistant material and is specifically designed to stop unwanted air leakage through the recessed lights. We then placed several measuring sticks throughout the attic to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added to the attic.

Lastly, we added over 12 inches of TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation throughout the attic. Adding TruSoft will fill the attic to its recommended insulation levels, in addition to maximizing home comfort for the owner. TruSoft also has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, is eco-friendly, and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings!
