LibreEvery bay filled, every penetration sealed — before the rock closes it.
Coverage that earns a Grade 1 and the air sealing behind your R-value both vanish the moment drywall goes up. LibreCam stamps GPS, weather, and time on every photo, online or off.
An insulation job, documented before the walls close
The inspector grades what's visible. After board, your coverage is a claim with no proof.
Air sealing & prep
- The cavity ready — clean, dry, and the rough-in inspected
- Penetrations, top plates, and rim joists sealed
- Gaps around windows, doors, and boxes air-sealed
- Vapor barrier or retarder placement where it's required
Installation
- Full coverage per bay — no gaps, voids, or compression
- Cut-and-fit around wiring, plumbing, and boxes, split not stuffed
- Density and depth verified on blown-in and dense-pack
- R-value product labels and bag counts photographed in frame
Inspection & sign-off
- Full-coverage proof per zone before drywall
- Grade card or installer certificate on the record
- Depth markers and attic-blow coverage documented
- Inspection set ready as a link before the board goes up
The photos that decide whether you get paid
Insulation is graded on what an inspector can see, and the window to see it is the day before drywall. A Grade 1 install — full contact, no gaps, cut neat around every wire and box — is worth real money on a rater's report, but the second the rock goes up it's a claim with nothing behind it. Shoot every bay full and the coverage that earns the grade is on the record permanently. The air sealing matters even more, because it's the part nobody can ever see again: a dated photo of the sealed top plates, rim joists, and penetrations is the only proof the envelope was tight before you filled it. And when a comfort or moisture callback comes a season later, your photos of full coverage and an intact vapor barrier are the difference between a warranty fight and a closed file. LibreCam keeps it automatic: GPS, weather, and time on every shot, organized by job, ready to hand the rater or the GC as a single link built from a coverage checklist.
Built for how insulation crews actually work
Full-coverage proof, bay by bay
Every cavity filled, cut-and-fit around wiring and boxes, shot before drywall. The proof a rater grades and the wall can't show after close.
Air sealing on the record
Top plates, rim joists, and penetrations sealed — photographed before insulation covers them. The part of the envelope nobody can ever re-inspect.
R-value labels in frame
Product labels and bag counts photographed in the cavity. Proof the right R-value went in the right zone, on the same job as the coverage shots.
No signal in the attic? Keep shooting.
Attics and shells have no reception. Photos and captions queue on your phone and sync when you climb out.
Coverage checklist that matches the grade
Air sealing, full bays, depth, vapor barrier, labels — work the list so no zone gets boarded with coverage unphotographed.
One link for the rater
No app on their end. They open a browser gallery — wide zone shots for context, close-ups for the cut-and-fit and the labels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Full coverage in every bay with no gaps, the cut-and-fit around wiring and boxes, the air sealing at top plates and penetrations, the vapor barrier, and the R-value labels in frame. Once the board's up, your coverage is a claim with nothing to back it.
Shoot every bay full — insulation in full contact, split neatly around wires and boxes, no voids — before drywall. That visible coverage is exactly what a rater grades.
A dated photo of full coverage and an intact vapor barrier is your defense when a cold room or a condensation complaint comes back a season later. It shows the envelope went in right before anyone closed it.
Yes. Photograph the product label and bag count in the cavity. It lands on the same job as the coverage shots, so the R-value and the install are documented together.
Yes. Photos, voice captions, and checklists all work with zero signal and queue on your phone. Everything syncs when you're back in range.
Nothing. LibreCam is free for the whole crew — the free plan is the product, not a trial.
