Insulating an Attic in Westfield, MA

This homeowner in Westfield, MA texted our office hoping to get a quote for attic insulation. His schedule was very unpredictable and busy, so he needed flexibility with appointment times. However, he felt that the attic insulation was very important, and he knew he needed help. He had almost no attic insulation, and he was feeling the effects.

 

We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the old blown-in insulation using a large vacuum. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the attic was air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner is now much more comfortable in his home!

Installing a Radon Mitigation System in Westfield, MA

This homeowner in Westfield, MA reached out to us after purchasing a home. During the home buying process, the radon level was tested. It came back as 5.2 pCi/L, which is above the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L. She wanted to get this fixed as soon as possible, as she wanted to feel comfortable before she moved into her home.

 

We were able to help this customer. Once he purchased the home, we installed a radon mitigation system. We began by drilling the holes in the basement -- both in the concrete slab in the bottom and the hole for the exterior penetration. He then began installing the pipes and secured them inside the basement. He installed the manometer on the pipe on the inside of the home. The manometer measures the pressure of the radon in the system, indicating whether or not it is functioning correctly. After that, he went outside to build the rest of the system. He installed the fan on the outside of the home. Once the system was installed, he went back inside, sealing around all of the cracks and gaps in the basement. He also sealed all of the holes that had been drilled for the system. Now, this homeowner has a system designed to keep the radon levels in her home low!

Encapsulating a Crawl Space in Shelburne Falls, MA

This homeowner in Shelburne Falls, MA called us when she realized that half of her home was uninsulated. She was hoping to get a whole-home energy evaluation as well as get the home insulated. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, we noted that there were several issues with the home - including the fact that her crawlspace was not encapsulated. 

 

We began with insulating the crawl space's walls using SilverGlo™ foam insulation board. SilverGlo™ foam has graphite infused into the foam to increase the R-value by 24% over standard foam. We then laid out a dimpled plastic drainage mat across the floor, and installed TerraBlock™ floor insulation over it. On top of all of that, the CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner was installed permanently across it. The crawlspace is now clean and insulated -- protecting this customer's home from the temperature fluctuations, humidity, and pests outside!
