Fogarty's Home Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Rutland, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with testing his home for radon. He wanted to install a mitigation system after testing. However, when our certified radon measurement specialist came out to the home, he noted that there was already a passive radon system installed. When his test came back, the radon measurement specialist found that the homeowner's radon levels came out to 13.1 pCi/L. 

We were able to help this customer. The existing radon system was completely internal -- it was routed up into the attic and out through the roof. We were able to help by adding a radon mitigation fan. This was added to the pipes in the attic. We also replaced the manometer in the basement with a brand new one. (The manometer measures the pressure of the radon gas in the pipe. We tested the system and were done! Now, this homeowner has a functioning radon mitigation system again, and he feels much better about his exposure.

This homeowner in Pomfret Center, CT called us when an energy evaluation on her home showed insufficient insulation in the attic. When we arrived, we noticed that her attic had batts of fiberglass insulation. The insulation was littered with bugs, dirt, and rodent feces -- not an ideal situation for a home, especially one where children or the elderly live. We spoke to the homeowner and she came to the conclusion that our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation was the best choice for her home. But before we could install that, we first had to see what was under all of that insulation.

The batts of insulation were bagged up into large trash bags. The stray pieces were then vacuumed out, alongside any remaining animal droppings and bugs. The insulation was then disposed of by Fogarty's Home Services.

Now, the attic is ready to be prepped, sealed, and insulated again! This removal is the first step to the lowered energy bills and comfortable home the customer was looking for. 

A homeowner called us from Charlton, MA to request a full Home Energy Evaluation. The problem they were having was inconsistent temperatures throughout their house. It would be cold in one room and hot in another. This specific style home has a sloped roof, with knee-walls in the attic that are very difficult to keep warm or cold depending on the season. This knee wall was directly above a bedroom. The lack of any insulation was making it extremely hard to cool and heat the upper level of their home, especially in the bedrooms.

We used our Super Kneewall Treatment to fix this problem. First, we use our 4" SilverGlo insulation boards to block off air from getting through the ceiling joists and bays. We sprayed our one part foam to seal the edges and made sure no air can travel through the cracks. Then, we installed our SilverGlo foam boards under the rafters up to the knee-wall and sealed with one part foam. Next, we had to dense pack the roof slopes with our TruSoft cellulose insulation to stop air flow as well as insulate this non insulated attic. Our last step was to blow our TruSoft cellulose insulation above the flat ceiling.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, these homeowners can now live more comfortably in their home with more consistent temperatures all year long!

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.
