Insulation Services in Vancouver, WA
Did you know that in Washington State there should be about 6 in to a foot of insulation in the crawlspace or at least a foot in the attic? We rely on various insulation techniques to help your home meet these requirements
- Blown-in Insulation
- Cellulose Insulation
- Fiberglass Insulation
- Foam Board Insulation
Floor Insulation
Sub-floors and basements let in cold air 24/7. This is worse during the winter months. We use a combination of insulation and vapor barriers in order to protect against moisture and heat loss. Proper insulation starts at the ground level.
Residential Insulation
Hiring an insulation service in Vancouver, WA is the best way to lower electricity usage and heating costs. Poor insulation, a lack of insulation, or damaged insulation are usually responsible for heat loss throughout your home in the winter, or loss of cold air during the summer.
Residential Insulation
A poorly insulated home can put stress onto your HVAC system. When it works harder, you pay more. For your next insulation repair or replacement, contact Elite Synergy. Not only do we make the necessary repairs fast and efficiently, we guarantee everything will be properly disposed of.
Wall Insulation
Walls let out more heat than any other surface in the home. That’s why we use mold and mildew resistant spray-insulation. It forms around piping and electrical boxes, and won’t settle like other insulation types. This prevents airflow between the inside and outside of your home.
Air Sealing
If you have an HVAC system, you need duct sealing. When ducts aren’t properly sealed they let unfiltered air into the home. This air may contain bacteria, allergens, animal waste, mildew, and more. It also harms the efficiency of your system.
Window Insulation
Insulating your windows protects against heat loss and noise pollution. Newer windows do an even better job at this while adding in UV protection. We always check your existing windows first before advising new ones, but efficiency is increasing every year.
Open Cell Spray Foam
Open cell spray foam insulation works as an insulator and air barrier. Weighing only 0.5 pounds per cubic foot, open cell spray foam gets its name from its broken cell structure. This allows air to fill the empty space inside the material. The typical R-value of open cell foam is 3.7 per inch. Open cell spray foam insulation is vapor permeable, dampens sounds and eliminates air infiltration.
Duct & Water Pipe Wrapping
Air that’s heated or cooled to comfort you and your family shouldn’t be pouring into your crawlspace, attic, walls or other uninhabited areas. That’s why it’s important to make sure your duct heating and cooling systems aren’t leaking, which wastes energy and costs you money and comfort.

How do you know that your home has poorly performing ducts?
First thing we do when looking at duct sealing is make sure anywhere two pieces of metal duct work come together they have at least three sheet metal screws holding them together. After that our technicians go through making sure all of the air ducts are supported properly. Anywhere there is a seam, crack, gap or joint in the duct work gets a nickle thick of duct mastic to ensure that all accessible air duct leaks are sealed.
How do you know that your home has poorly performing ducts?
Our team does this to the outside and inside vents. Once sealed, insulation is wrapped and attached with twine around the exterior of the ducts. This is usually located in the unconditioned space. Finally after all duct sealing and insulating is complete one of our experts goes through a leakage checklist to make sure that the job meets our standards.

Floor Insulation Removal
After ten years even the best floor twine jobs lose their effectiveness to gravity. Sometimes we are able to take the insulation that is currently there and re-twine it. A lot of times, however, we have to take it out. This has to be done by hand because floor insulation cannot be sucked through a vacuum. In order to save our customers time on insulation removal. Instead of removing insulation in the entire attic, or floor. We may recommend that we do a Spot Removal. This means that we just vacuum out the problem area.
Attic Insulation Removal
When it comes to attic insulation removal we use special tools. This ensures that we get the job done as quickly as possible. The insulation is sucked up through a three inch transparent plastic hose and then stored to be disposed of in accordance with local and state laws. Our company is always looking on how to recycle this material. In the future, we will be working to reuse and recycle old attic insulation.
