Fogarty's Home Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Wilbraham, MA called us hoping to talk about his cellulose attic insulation. He did not have enough in his attic, and was hoping we would be able to help him. He had high energy bills and was experiencing energy loss. He specifically did not want to remove and replace his insulation, though -- he wanted to simply add more.

We were able to help this customer with his home. We added insulation value to his home by adding our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We used a large hose to blow it into the home. The new insulation "capped" the old insulation, blanketing it and adding R-value.

This customer in Wilbraham, MA called us when he realized he needed new insulation in his basement. After a very detailed evaluation with our Home Comfort Specialist, they decided that using spray foam in the rim joist would be the best option.

This homeowner already had fiberglass batts in the rim joist. Fiberglass is a notoriously bad insulation. It's prone to falling down or sagging, letting air leak in, and being comfortable as bedding for pests such as rodents.

We immediately removed the fiberglass insulation from the rim joist. We then went back in with two part expanding spray foam, installed on the rim joist and the sill plate. This goes into every crack, gap, and joint to make sure that there are no air leaks. 

This homeowner originally called us hoping that we would be able to help him with insulating his new home. When we arrived at the home to go over his concerns and comfort level, he stated that he had an inadequate sump pump and did not know if we were able to take care of that. Of course, we told him YES, we do sump pumps! 

We helped this homeowner by installing one of our SuperSump™ sump pump systems. This system features a 1/3 hp cast iron pump which can discharge up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high. It even features a WaterWatch™ alarm system that will alert the homeowner if the pump were to fail. Now, this homeowner can rest easy knowing that their basement is adequately protected. 

This homeowner in Wilbraham, MA called us hoping that we would be able to replace their bulkhead door. It was several decades old, and desperately needed to be replaced. It was also rusting, and fairly unattractive. 

Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer. We were able to install a beautiful new bulkhead door. We first had to pour concrete, ensuring that it had a solid base of support. After the concrete was hardened and ready for the next step, we installed the bulkhead door. We caulked around the edges and installed flashing behind the door to ensure a tight fit.  Now, they have a beautiful bulkhead door!

This homeowner in Wilbraham, MA called us while he was in the process of purchasing a home. They had tested the home for radon, and it came back to 4.5 pCi/L -- over the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L. He was concerned about the health and safety of his family, and wanted to get it mitigated before they moved in.

We had the perfect solution for this customer! We installed a radon mitigation system in his home. We identified the specific space where the mitigation system should be installed. After that, we drilled a hole in the floor as well as a hole in the wall for the exterior penetration. We put together the pipes, starting in the floor, and built it out through the exterior penetration to the outside. We secured the pipes to the wall, and then installed the manometer onto the pipe. (A manometer measures the pressure of the radon gas in the system, indicating whether or not the system is functioning). We then went outside to continue building out the system. We installed the fan and continued building out the pipes, securing them to the outside of the home. Our technician then sealed around the holes that had been drilled for the system. Now, the homeowner has a brand new radon system for their new home!
