Our team Insulated this basement with Foamax "polyiso" insulation boards

These homeowners in Lebanon, CT were worried about their pipes freezing. If the basement and crawlspace are not sealed and insulated, heat coming off of the furnace or boiler is lost through leaks as well as by conduction through block walls.

To start, we sealed the rim joist with spray foam and addressed any air leaks. We then secured our SilverGlo foam to the walls to prevent any more loss of heat. SilverGlo is infused with graphite and has a reflective radiant barrier to keep in heat in the winter. For the portion of the home that was crawlspace, we made sure to address the dirt floor under that old tarp which we removed. We put down a dimpled matting to keep an air break, then TerraBlock floor insulation, and finally our vapor barrier to keep any moisture from getting up into the home.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, these homeowners can have peace of mind by not having to worry about losing heat or having their pipes freeze when winter rolls in.

This homeowner in Lebanon, CT called us hoping to be able to help him with her home. She had tested her home's radon levels several times, and the tests all came out to 15 to 18 pCi/L. This is considered very high -- much higher than the EPA's recommended Radon Action Level of 4 pCi/L. She wanted her radon exposure lowered as soon as possible. 

We were able to help this customer. We installed a passive radon mitigation system in her home. Once the ideal space for the system was located, our radon mitigation technician was able to install it. He first started by drilling a hole into the concrete slab in the basement. Once the core had been removed, the radon technician installed a pipe and secured it. He also installed a manometer - which measures the pressure of the radon in the system. This is the indicator of whether or not the radon system is functioning correctly. He then drilled a hole for the exterior penetration and installed pipes for that as well. He then went to the outside of the home, installing the fan. The technician then sealed all cracks, gaps, and around the holes drilled for the system. After a quick test of the system, our radon technician was done and the homeowner was happy! Now she has a brand new mitigation system that will keep her radon levels low and her family more safe.

Cathedral ceiling was dramatically uninsulated. Fogarty's Home Services removed the ridge vent and inserted a long fill tube to reach the bottom of the ceiling plane, and "dense packed" into each rafter bay filling all air spaces. After Completion of insulation We installed hip and ridge cap shingles and a Tribuilt Omni Ridge pro - ridge vent to finish the job. 

This homeowner in Warren, MA called us looking for insulation for the underside of her mobile home. She had cold floors, high energy bills, mold, and rodents in her home. The crawl space under the mobile home had falling fiberglass batts. She also had sagging floors that needed to be reinforced. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, SilverGlo™ foam insulation board is installed across the bottom of the floor joists with special long screws and 3” washers, SilverGlo™ is expanded polystyrene foam with graphite infused into the foam, which bumps up the insulation (“R”) value by 24% over standard EPS foam. Further, SilverGlo™ has a radiant barrier to reflect heat, so the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. All seams are sealed. If necessary a skirt board can be installed around the perimeter of the insulation so the edge is not visible. The skirt board may require painting after we are complete. Result - Much warmer floors, less drafts and more comfortable rooms, quieter home, lower fuel and electric bills.
