Reducing Ice Dams and Making a Home More Comfortable in Pittsfield, MA

This Homeowner Called us out to her home to update their attic insulation. They were experiencing ice damming on the roof. Some spots were too hot and others were too cold. This home was insulated with old fiberglass insulation.

We removed the old inefficient fiberglass insulation in the attic. We install our blocks of Silverglo foam insulation board between the ceiling joist bays, and under the rafters. We air seal around the blocks with foam. Air is no longer able to enter and escape out of the home.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this home is more comfortable, energy- efficient, and no longer has snow melt!

Reducing Cold Floors in Dalton, MA

This home owner call us out to see if we could help him with his cold floors. One thing we have to know when entering any home is stack effect. Warm air will rise and escape from the attic spaces and new air will enter the home from below. This air in the winter is freezing cold and in turn, make your floors very cold. To fix this we spray the rim joist with our 2-part spray foam. This seals up all the gaps and cracks so air will not be able to enter the home from the rim joist and make your floors cold. Now that this home owner got this project completed, he will not have to  worry about cold floor any longer!

Reducing Ice Damming in Hinsdale, MA

This customer called us out in regards to a problem he was having in his home. The problem was that this mobile home had a lot of ice damming in the winter. ice damming can severely damage your home! Ice dams occur after heavy snowfall when warm air in the attic causes the roof to warm and the snow to melt due to poor insulation. To fix this, we have to first remove all of the old fiberglass batting insulation that is not doing its job. We properly bag and dispose of those materials. Now its time to air seal. We air seal all accessible penetrations, end plates and top plates where air can leak from your home into your attic. This is done with our two part foam. Next, our TruSoft cellulose insulation is blown in the attic to get our optimum R-value of R60. With this we fill all of the gaps and odd shaped voids so that thermal bridging is avoided. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy solutions this happy customer can live comfortable without ice damming this winter!

Insulating a Kneewall in Canton, CT

This room over the garage is being renovated.  The homeowner wanted to be sure his home is properly insulated.  One of the treatments our team did in this room was to insulate the kneewall.  A kneewall is the triangular space under the sloped roof and behind the wall of the room.  We installed our Foamax polyisocyanurate foam board on the exterior walls.  Foamax provides superior insulation and it is flame retardant.  The homeowner can rest assured the knee walls in this room are properly insulated. 

Insulating Walls in a Home in East Hartland, CT

This homeowner initially reached out to us saying that he wanted his attic and exterior walls insulated. Many older homes have no insulation in the exterior walls. Most homes without insulation experience cold, drafty rooms, their heating and cooling systems run much more and need more service (causing higher energy bills!), and it's difficult to keep house at a comfortable temperature.

 

We had the perfect solution for this homeowner. We dense packed the exterior walls using TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. His siding was removed temporarily and 29/16” holes were drilled through the wall sheathing. A fill tube was inserted up (and down) into wall cavities to not only fill, but dense pack the wall cavities. Dense packing is a technique that packs the insulation in very tightly - so tightly that all irregular shaped cavities and crevices in the wall cavities are filled, and air will not penetrate the dense packed cellulose. Dense packed cellulose stops air flow through the wall and insulates. TruSoft™ Cellulose is treated to be highly fire, mold and pest resistant. The holes were plugged and the siding was put back. Result - A less drafty, warmer, quieter, more comfortable house, less dust/pollen, house not so dry in winter, lower fuel/electric bills, heating system runs less - less maintenance.
