GreenFiber Home Energy Audit Nationwide

GreenFiber Home Energy Audit in New Braunfels: What to Know First

We provide independent GreenFiber home energy audit in New Braunfels, typically scheduling within 48 hours and completing most diagnostic visits the same day. Every audit begins with a written price before any work starts, and you’ll receive documented blower-door readings and thermal imaging photos before we leave. Homeowners with GreenFiber cellulose insulation in neighborhoods from River Road to Copper Ridge call us when their utility bills spike or rooms won’t hold temperature, and we treat air sealing as a hard prerequisite, not an upsell.

How GreenFiber Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• GreenFiber Sanctuary settling in attic floors. Sanctuary loose-fill cellulose, common in 2018-2022 New Braunfels builds, compacts 15-20% in the first three years, creating thermal valleys along truss bays. We measure settled depth against labeled R-value, calculate the gap, and supplement with fresh GreenFiber or cross-layer with Rockwool to restore the original thermal barrier without disturbing the existing matrix.
• GreenFiber All Borate fire retardant degradation near roof leaks. The borate treatment that gives All Borate its Class-A fire rating washes out where ridge vents leak or bathroom fans dump moisture. We spot these zones with thermal imaging, remove compromised material, seal the leak source, and reinstall treated cellulose that matches the original spec.
• GreenFiber stabilized cellulose clumping in humid crawl spaces. The adhesive binders in stabilized products activate with excess moisture, forming dense mats that trap water against floor joists. In New Braunfels, where spring humidity climbs fast and slab homes pull ground moisture through perimeter gaps, we see this in Encino Park and Vintage Oaks basements regularly. We extract the clumped material, install vapor barrier, then replace with dry-blown GreenFiber or switch to closed-cell spray foam if the space won’t stay dry.
• GreenFiber wall-spray shrinkage at top plates. Wall-spray cellulose shrinks 3-5% as it dries, pulling away from the critical junction where exterior walls meet ceiling drywall. This creates a thermal bypass we catch with blower-door-directed infrared; we dense-pack the gap with fresh material and seal the top plate with acoustic sealant before the insulation goes back in.
• GreenFiber subfloor install over unsealed penetrations. When GreenFiber is blown over unsealed can lights, plumbing stacks, and wire chases, the insulation acts as a filter, not a barrier. We never add material until we’ve sealed every penetration with fire-rated foam and metal flashing, then we test with the blower door to prove the envelope tightened.

Our GreenFiber Home Energy Audit Process

1. 1
   Schedule and scope. You call (830) 243-6352; a live person answers. We confirm your GreenFiber product line if you know it, the home’s age, and your symptoms. We text a 2-hour arrival window and the technician’s name.
2. 2
   Blower-door baseline. We run a pressurization test - a diagnostic that measures how many cubic feet of conditioned air your house leaks per minute at 50 pascals of pressure. Most New Braunfels homes built 2015-2020 read 3,500-5,500 CFM50 before any work.
3. 3
   Thermal imaging and physical inspection. Our tech maps insulation depth, identifies settled or compromised GreenFiber zones, and traces air leakage paths with an infrared camera while the blower door runs. We photograph everything.
4. 4
   Written scope and price. Before any repair, you get a flat price, a written description of what we’ll seal and what we’ll insulate, and the warranty terms. No work starts without your signature on the scope.
5. 5
   Air sealing first, then insulation. We seal top plates, can lights, penetrations, and bypasses. We retest with the blower door. Then we add or replace GreenFiber or recommend an alternative if the original product failed for a reason that would repeat.
6. 6
   Documented closeout. You receive before-and-after blower-door numbers, thermal photos, a photo record of the work area, and a copy of the written warranty. We file a copy by your address.

What GreenFiber Home Energy Audit Costs in New Braunfels

Homes off River Road with complex rooflines or multiple dormers trend toward the higher end. We also service Reflectix radiant barrier systems if your audit reveals that’s part of the problem. Call (830) 243-6352 for a free estimate - we’ll read any competing written quote with you, no charge.

Why New Braunfels Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation New Braunfels for GreenFiber Work

We’ve sealed and insulated 9,000+ homes since 2016, and we publish before-and-after blower-door numbers on every job where a test applies. The number on the blower-door printout tells you what the insulation did. Everything else is just talk. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the CFM50 doesn’t hold or the GreenFiber settles again, we make it right. Wes Okafor and our crew have worked River Road corridor homes where stack-effect leakage in older slab construction runs higher than owners expect, and we know the difference between a GreenFiber product failure and an installation failure. Materials come from GreenFiber, Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, and others - no proprietary lock-in, so we specify what performs, not what we’re pushed to sell. Calls reach a live person 24/7.
