Air Seal Your Home
At Zhe Industries, LLC, we pride ourselves on providing superior air sealing solutions to enhance your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. As an Owens Corning® Certified Energy Expert®, we offer services tailored to your needs.
Does my home need Air Sealing?
If your home experiences any of these problems, the answer is yes.
- Drafty rooms
- Hot and cold rooms; uneven temperature between rooms
- High heating or cooling bills
- Ice dams in the winter
- Dry indoor air in winter
- Recessed Lights
- Dust (especially in rooms directly below the attic)
Recessed Can Light
Not all Can Lights are compatible with insulation. In fact, covering some recessed can lights can be a fire hazard. Having a Rockwool cover not only protects you from fire hazards but also prevents air leakage and energy loss.
Sky Lights & Gaps
The main loss of energy is not having gaps sealed off. Just insulating isn’t enough. We foam seal any areas with gabs, including skylights, framing gaps, electrical, plumbing, and ceiling fans.
What Would We Seal?
Ducts, Registers & Returns – Often one of the most neglected areas when it comes to sealing an attic, yet also one of the most crucial. Even if you have recently installed insulation, failing to properly seal these areas can lead to bridging and gaps between the ducts, registers, and returns. This creates a prime location for the meeting of hot and cold temperatures, resulting in excessive moisture issues and providing a breeding ground for bacteria. Choosing a seemingly cheaper option during an estimate may end up costing you more in the long run.
Don’t be fooled by other companies; instead, choose Zhe Industries, LLC. We are not just an insulation company – we are licensed Builders with comprehensive knowledge of your home.
Common Air Leaks We Seal:
- Behind Knee Walls
- Skylights
- Builder Gaps
- Attic Hatch & Ladder Access
- Wiring Holes
- Plumbing Vents & Penetrations
- Open Soffit & Drop Down Soffit
- Recessed Lights
- Furnace Flue & Duct Cases
- Top Framing plates & cavity openings
What to Expect During the Air Sealing Process?
To properly air seal your home, Zhe Industries applies a strategic approach designed to maximize your home’s energy efficiency. Initially, our skilled team performs a detailed assessment to pinpoint the primary sources of air leakage. This critical first step allows us to understand your home’s unique challenges and formulate a precise plan of action.
Following the assessment, we employ advanced techniques and high-quality materials such as specialized caulk, robust weatherstripping, and superior insulation to address and seal identified leaks. This meticulous process ensures that every nook and cranny, from the roof to the crawl, receives the attention it deserves.
Our professionals work diligently to minimize disruption, ensuring the air sealing process is swift and efficient. We understand the importance of your comfort and strive to complete the sealing with minimal impact on your daily routine.
Once our work is done, you’ll notice:
- Reduce Drafts
- Temperature Fluctations will stabilize
- Decrease in energy bills
This transformation not only enhances your immediate comfort but also contributes to your home’s long-term health and efficiency. Engaging in air sealing with Zhe Industries means a significant step towards a more sustainable, cost-effective, and comfortable living environment.
EXCELLENT Based on 87 reviews Katherine HortonSeptember 17, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with this company. Would highly recommend them for attic insulation. Heidi HeathAugust 13, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian with Zhe Industries is amazing. I had him out to give me a quote on a couple of different projects we need to have done. He was honest enough to tell me that, for what we had in mind, insulation was not really our best answer. He proceeded to give me detailed guidance on what to do to achieve the goals we were looking for. Some of it involves insulation, but not near to the scope of what other companies were telling us. It was obvious that Brian was out to help us solve our problem in the best way possible, not to try to sell us on something that wouldn't help us achieve our goals. Kudos to this amazing company! Their honesty and integrity is a rare find these days. I highly, highly recommend this company! jitu rashidJuly 15, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been a homeowner for nearly 11 years, and it's been tough finding reliable contractors. All too often, I've ended up with trust issues after a project. That’s why I feel compelled to share my positive experience with Zhe Industries. Brian, the owner, is a sincere man who genuinely cares about his work and the reputation of his company. This is a rare quality in the field. Many contractors promise the world but underdeliver. Brian and his team are different. They're not only friendly and professional, but they also hold themselves to high standards. If something isn't right, they fix it until the customer is satisfied. Recently, I needed to replace the insulation in my attic—a challenging job, especially in the heat. I received several quotes, but Zhe Industries offered a reasonable rate and a clear explanation of the work. They delivered exactly as promised. The team efficiently removed the old insulation, sanitized the attic, sealed gaps and cracks, and installed new insulation, following all codes meticulously. Encouraged by their performance, I trusted them with replacing my roof's missing drip edge and the gutters. We agreed on terms and they got to work. After they finished, I noticed a few minor issues. I brought these up and Brian personally addressed them immediately, apologizing for the oversight. Finding a trustworthy contractor can be daunting, but Zhe Industries has proven to be a reliable choice in the Hampton Roads area. They truly take pride in their work, and it shows. Patrick BicharaJuly 12, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian and his company Zhe Industries are top notch! The quality of the roof replacement and attic insulation replacement he did are excellent. He and his crew are friendly, concise, and perform the work they said they would in a very timely manner. He truly cares about his customers and it shows not only through their quality work but also through his willingness to go above and beyond to help answer any questions or concerns that I've had with other household issues. I'm happy that Brian and Zhe Industries are available to help with all my home improvement needs. I will definitely be using his company for my future/other home improvement needs. Mariah MccullarJuly 2, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. as a young female homeowner it’s paramount to me that i feel comfortable with the workers in my home and all of the gentleman i encountered with zhe were wonderful. i got 3 estimates in total to have the insulation in my attic taken out and replaced, and brian’s was by far the best value with the amount of work that needed to be done. i have a few other home projects i’ll need done in the future and i certainly intend to have zhe industries complete those! thank you so much to the fantastic team that came out 🙌 Mike CzerniakJune 23, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. First picture was from April with an outdoor temp of about 89F and the second picture was from June 23rd with an outdoor temp of about 101F. Ceiling measured 30c/86f in the first picture and 19.3c/68f in the second picture. It's definitely working to keep our conditioned air inside our home and the hot air in the attic! We had Zhe Industries insulate and air seal our attic around mid June and it has been unbelievable how good of an investment this was. I'm not certain we'll see much in savings this year as our AC pretty much runs full stop from morning until later in the evening but it is much more comfortable. Another huge added bonus for us was the noise deadening. Since we had so little insulation or none in our attic in the first place it basically acted like a guitar and we could hear every noise from outside. We also live under the Oceana flight path so there's tons of jets flying throughout the week at all hours. Since we now have much more insulation and coverage than before outside noise has probably dropped by at least 60 to 70 percent. Even the jets don't over power indoor conversations and we can barely hear when people are mowing their lawns. The crew were polite and very professional. It took about half a day to remove the old insulation and install the baffles and then a short hour or so for them to blow in the new insulation. Overall very satisfied and would highly recommend their services. cynthia martinMay 31, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I interviewed 8 Roofing companies. Brian immediately stood out from the crowd for his professionalism. His pricing was very competitive. It was a big project for me so I was a little anxious going into the process, but he reassured me. Everything was gonna be perfect and he was right. They got the roof done and a day and we’re very thorough with all the cleanup. I have lots of areas where there are flowers Pots, including swimming pool. Their cleanup was exceptional. I had an area on my roof that required some flat roofing expertise, and he was able to provide the best solution with the very best warranty. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who’s looking for a top class a contractor who knows what he’s doing prices it fairly and gets the job done quickly. Jim BeckerApril 17, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian and his team provide top notch service. As they say, ..."From the rooftop to the crawl, one call" Brian provided quick, accurate, and detailed estimates. His prices are very competitive and fair. His employees are all very professional and treat their customers with respect. They listen to your concerns and answer your questions without delay. If you need insulation, roofing, or new gutters, make one call to Brian and rest easy knowing you did yourself a big favor. Todd FanceApril 7, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed a roof replacement and new insulation for my new home. I chose Zhe industries to do the job, and my roof and attic look brand new. Most notably, the new insulation keeps my home at the desired temperature for much longer and the new roof now keeps the weather out. I needed it done right the first time up and Zhe Industries delivered Top-notch service and professionalism while choosing the best quality materials to do the job. They were fair with pricing and as a bonus, they offered a military discount for my service.
