Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Nationwide

Owens Corning Home Energy Audit in Schertz: What to Know First

We provide independent Owens Corning home energy audit services in Schertz, typically completing diagnostic visits same-day or next-day with written findings delivered before we leave. Most audits run between $275 and $495 depending on home size and test scope, and we publish before-and-after blower-door numbers on every job where air sealing follows the audit. This page is for Owens Corning owners in Schertz who want to know why their insulation isn’t performing, whether the original install was done right, and what it’ll actually cost to fix it - no call-for-pricing runaround. Call (830) 402-5240 or text us to schedule; a live person answers 24/7.

How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Pink Next Gen Fiberglas batts compressed in attic floors. We see this constantly in Schertz homes built 2015-2020, especially in the Sedona subdivision off FM 1518 where builders stuffed R-30 batts into 2×8 joist bays meant for blown-in. Compression drops the effective R-value by 20-30%. We remove the compressed batts, air-seal the top plates and penetrations, then blow loose-fill AttiCat Pink on top for proper depth and coverage.
• AttiCat blown-in settling below labeled depth markers. Owens Corning specifies settled depth, not installed depth, but crews rushing jobs in 140°F Schertz attics often skip the depth-stick verification. We find this in half the attics we audit. Our fix: we measure every 100 square feet with a calibrated depth stick, document with photos, and add material to true R-38 or R-60 as specified - no guessing.
• ProPink L77 loose-fill uneven distribution around HVAC platforms and chase walls. The L77 blows well through long hoses, but inexperienced installers create voids behind obstructions where Schertz’s summer heat loads concentrate. We pull back material, seal the platform perimeter with fire-rated caulk and rigid foam, then redistribute for uniform coverage.
• FOAMULAR 150 rigid board gaps at kneewalls and bonus room transitions. This XPS board shrinks slightly over Texas heat cycles, opening seams that become convection highways. We find 1/8-inch gaps common after three summers. Our crew pulls the old board, seals the framing with acoustic sealant, and reinstalls with taped seams - or switches to polyiso where fire rating allows.
• Ecotouch batts installed without air sealing in older Schertz homes. Pre-2015 houses in the Normandy Estates area often have Ecotouch R-19 batts laid over original 1950s plaster ceilings with zero top-plate sealing. The batts filter air; they don’t stop it. We blower-door test first, seal every penetration with ZypFoam or equivalent, then reinsulate - because adding R-value over a leaky envelope is money spent on the wrong problem.

Our Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Process

1. 1
   Schedule and scope. Call or text (830) 402-5240. We confirm square footage, year built, and any comfort complaints - hot rooms, high bills, dust from attic hatches. You get a written price range before we dispatch.
2. 2
   Blower-door test. We depressurize the house to -50 Pascals and measure CFM50 - the single number showing how much conditioned air escapes through the envelope. Typical Schertz homes built 2005-2015 read 3,500-5,500 CFM50 before work.
3. 3
   Thermal imaging and attic inspection. Our FLIR camera maps insulation voids, compressed batts, and thermal bypasses. We photograph Owens Corning product labels where visible to confirm original specs and identify installation errors.
4. 4
   Duct leakage test (when indicated). If the blower-door number is high and ducts run through the attic, we pressurize the duct system to measure leakage to outside - a separate figure that explains why rooms don’t condition evenly.
5. 5
   Written findings and priority list. You get a printed report with photos, blower-door reading, recommended air-sealing scope, and insulation upgrade options - OEM Owens Corning or compatible alternatives from Johns Manville, Knauf, or Rockwool. No work starts without your written approval and our written price.
6. 6
   Documentation delivery. Every audit concludes with a Documented Photo Record uploaded to your account, including thermal images and depth measurements. If we perform the follow-up work, before-and-after blower-door numbers are published so you can verify the result.

What Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Costs in Schertz

Homes in Schertz’s newer subdivisions like Willow Grove often need less air sealing than 1970s builds near Schertz Parkway, but the attic access is tighter - labor adjusts accordingly. We also service Reflectix radiant barrier systems where owners want hybrid solutions. Every estimate is free, written, and valid for 30 days.

Why Schertz Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation Schertz for Owens Corning Work

We’ve been working the Schertz corridor since 2016, including jobs where summer attic temps push past 140°F before we even unload the blower. Wes Okafor built this crew on a sequencing rule he learned at Richard J. Daley College and refined over two decades in attics: seal the leaks first, then insulate. The attic doesn’t care how thick the insulation is if the air is still moving through it.

Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job - if the blower-door number doesn’t hold, we return. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. Calls answered by a live person, 24/7. And we publish before-and-after blower-door readings on every applicable job, so you’re not taking our word for anything.
