Owens Corning Home Energy Audit in Georgetown: What to Know First
We provide independent Owens Corning home energy audit in Georgetown, typically scheduling within 48 hours and completing the full diagnostic same-day. Most audits run between $280 and $550 depending on home size and test scope, and you’ll get a written price before we start - no exceptions. This page is for Georgetown homeowners who own Owens Corning insulation products and need a proper building-envelope assessment that tells you what’s actually failing, not a sales pitch dressed up as science. Call (254) 970-2136 to schedule or text us if you prefer.
How Owens Corning Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- PINK Next Gen Fiberglass batts in Sun City Georgetown homes lose contact with top plates when attic temperatures cycle past 130°F through July and August. The paper facing detaches from the stud bay, creating a convection loop that reads as a 15-20% spike on the thermal imager. We pull the displaced batts, foam-seal every top plate and electrical penetration, then reinstall with proper friction fit and strapping.
- AttiCat blown-in systems in 2018-2022 builds near the San Gabriel River corridor settle unevenly because the original installers skipped air sealing and the loose-fill migrated with every pressure change. Our blower-door test - a pressurization reading that shows, in one number, how much air your building envelope is losing - typically finds 3,800-5,200 CFM50 in these homes. We remove the settled material, seal the deck, and redeploy with documented depth markers.
- FOAMULAR NGX rigid board in crawl spaces absorbs perimeter moisture when the vapor barrier below it was taped at seams but never sealed to the foundation wall. The board edges delaminate and the R-value drops measurably. We photograph the degradation, pull the compromised sections, and reinstall with proper perimeter sealing and a continuous 6-mil vapor barrier tied to the wall.
- Ecotouch batts in pre-2020 Georgetown homes compress around can lights where the original installer left non-IC fixtures unprotected. The compressed fiberglass loses effective R-value and the hot spot creates a thermal bypass we catch at 30 feet on the FLIR. We install fire-rated covers, air-seal the housing, and replace with properly cut batts or dense-pack where the cavity allows.
- ProPink LooseFill in homes near I-35 shows rodent disturbance patterns - the gray-pink blend is distinctive when torn and scattered. We document the damage with photos, remove contaminated material under contained conditions, seal entry points with steel and foam, and reinstall fresh product only after the attic is cleaned and proofed.
Our Owens Corning Home Energy Audit Process

- 1
Schedule and scope. You call or text, a live person answers, and we book a 2-3 hour window. We confirm square footage, year built, and any known comfort complaints - hot rooms, high bills, musty attic smell.
- 2
Pre-test blower-door reading. We set up the blower door and measure CFM50, the single figure that tells us how leaky your envelope is. We also record outdoor temperature and wind speed because Georgetown’s spring northers can skew results.
- 3
Thermal imaging and insulation inspection. Our FLIR camera maps surface temperatures across ceilings, walls, and duct runs. We check Owens Corning product depth, coverage, and contact with conditioned surfaces. Every anomaly gets a photo with a measurement.
- 4
Duct leakage test if indicated. When the blower-door number suggests duct contribution, we pressurize the duct system and measure leakage to outside. Owens Corning homes from the 2015-2019 build wave often show 20-35% duct leakage in Georgetown - conditioned air dumped into the attic.
- 5
Written findings and price. You get a documented photo record, the blower-door number, thermal images with temperature callouts, and a flat price for any recommended work. No work starts without your written approval - Haven Standard Clause 1.
- 6
Post-work verification. On jobs we perform, we run a second blower-door test and hand you the before-and-after report showing measured improvement. Seal the holes first. Then we talk about R-value.

Under Haven Standard, you get a named technician, a text when they’re en route, and before-and-after blower-door numbers on every applicable job so you can verify the result yourself. Wes Okafor won’t sign off on any job until the photo record is complete and the homeowner has the written warranty in hand.
FAQs
No. As an independent Owens Corning service provider, our audit is diagnostic only - we don’t alter product or register claims in Owens Corning’s name. If we find a manufacturing defect during inspection, we document it with photos and thermal readings so you have evidence for your own warranty submission. Call (254) 970-2136 if you need help interpreting warranty language.
Most Georgetown homeowners get an appointment within 48 hours, and the audit itself takes 2-3 hours. Same-week scheduling is common outside peak summer demand. We answer calls 24/7 with a live person, so you won’t wait for a callback window measured in business days. Text us if that’s faster for you.
Replacement is warranted when the product is contaminated, water-damaged, or compressed below 50% of original thickness - we measure this during audit and show you the depth gauge photo. Otherwise, strategic air sealing and supplemental insulation typically outperforms tear-out on cost and disruption. We’ll give you both prices in writing and let the numbers decide. Call (254) 970-2136 for a free estimate.
We source materials from Owens Corning, Johns Manville, Knauf, Rockwool, and other manufacturers - no proprietary lock-in. For repairs, we match the existing product line when it makes sense, but we’ll specify a different material if your home’s conditions demand it. You see the product name and R-value on the written scope before anyone lifts a tool.
A Documented Photo Record on every visit: thermal images with temperature readings, blower-door CFM50 number, insulation depth measurements, and any problem areas flagged with location notes. If we perform work, you also get the post-job blower-door comparison and a written warranty. Everything is digital and shareable with your HVAC contractor or energy program.
