What Happens When the WRONG Insulation Company Gets Hired? Warning...This Gets Ugly

Video Description

This unfortunate homeowner hired the wrong company to insulate his older Cape Cod style home. And he paid for it, twice. This video shows the methods that this other company used, why they were wrong, and how Insulwise re-insulated his home a second time so that it was permanently more comfortable and energy efficient. Upgrading the wall and attic insulation of an existing home can be more complicated than many homeowners or even "professional" companies realize. For example, many companies do not even understand the need for performing rigorous air sealing work in attics. The company that this homeowner first hired was from Pittsburgh, Pa and was a very well known, well advertised company. The company is a franchise and specialized in using injection foam to squirt foam into exterior wall stud bays. However, they had seemingly zero knowledge in upgrading the insulation in more complicated homes in the Pittsburgh area like Cape Cod style and three story homes. They did all kinds of things wrong, and we cover those things. We also show how we redid all of the work there to get this homeowner a much more comfortable and energy efficient home. We also have an updated video on how we re-insulated a Cape Cod style home from start to finish here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_z9FLeg5AA If you live in the Pittsburgh, Pa area would like Insulwise to make your house cooler and more energy efficient (and the same for winter), call Insulwise at 412-260-6701 or stop by our website at www.insulwise.com.
