Fogarty's Home Services Before & After Photos

This basement in Canterbury, CT had very poor insulation on the basement rim Joists. We reinsulated it with our special spray foam to keep the floors warmer.

These homeowners called us after receiving an energy audit. The Audit turned up that they needed upgraded insulation to make the home more efficient. This home had been causing them nothing but headaches with drafty and inconsistently heated rooms, high energy bills and terrible ice dams. It was time to make a call to the DR!

We sent one of our Building Science Specialists out to meet with these homeowners and discuss a solution that would help put their minds at ease and save them money. We would start by removing and disposing all old, dirty insulation and prepping for the installation of fresh, new insulation. Next we air seal all penetrations with expanding polyurethane foam and treat the affected areas with MoldX2™ Cleaner and Botanical. Next we insulate the attic floor with TruSoft™ blown-in Cellulose and also air seal and insulate the Scuttle Cover with SilverGlo™ Insulation Board. Next we move to the basement where we air seal and insulate the rim joist with Closed-Cell Spray Foam. The last step is to insulate the cantilevered floor between stories by dense packing TruSoft™ Cellulose in through the soffits. This home is now completely "Buttoned-Up" and ready to provide energy efficiency at it's best, reduce ice dams and save lots of money on future energy bills!

This homeowner called us because he was having a problem with air being distributed throughout the home. Part of the home were either way too hot or way too cold and dusty too. They requested we come to evaluate the situation.

Our Building Science Specialist was able to determine through careful inspection of the duct system in the attic, the existing insulation around the duct work was inefficient and leaking air in several different areas. This attic was also full of old, ineffective fiberglass insulation. The Solution was easy...Duct Encapsulation and new insulation. We started by Installing our Tite 'N' True™ Foam Duct Encapsulation System in which we seal and insulate right over the existing insulation with 1" of closed cell foam insulation,  creating an air tight seal. We also installed a David Lewis™ Stair Hatch Cover. We then cleaned out all of the old, fiberglass insulation, air sealed all penetrations, sealed around can lights and blew in TruSoft™ Cellulose Insulation, burying the ducts, which with further insure that the air you use to heat/cool will be delivered to your rooms without loss along the way.
