This homeowner in Bloomfield, CT called us hoping to get her attic and basement insulated. Her friend had recently had her home insulated with us, and she wanted the same good results. She had extreme comfort issues as well as mold due to the high humidity.
We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the batt insulation, putting it in large bags. 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 atitc is 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 her home!
This homeowner in Florence, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help with her attic. She had recently purchased the home, which had vermiculite insulation. This was removed due to the fact that it had asbestos in it.
We were able to help this customer! As there was no insulation when we began working in the attic due to the removal of vermiculite that had taken place, we were able to immediately begin air sealing, making sure that all cracks and crevices were sealed. We used Zypfoam™ one part spray foam to air seal. We then used a long hose attached to a machine that blows our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation into the attic. TruSoft™ cellulose is able to fill all gaps and odd-shaped voids, as it is blown in insulation.
Now, this homeowner is able to enjoy her new home!
This homeowner in Newington, CT called us out to their home to remove and replace the insulation in their attic. Their attic was full of old, nasty, fiberglass insulation. Pictured is a knee-wall space before and after. We sent our production team out to help these homeowners. First, we removed all of the old fiberglass insulation in the brown paper bag- looking material as pictured. We make sure to vacuum up and any all left over insulation or debris. Now, we install SilverGlo foam insulation board between the ceiling joist bays. On the outside, we air seal with one part spray foam. We also install SilverGlo under the rafters. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this space now has a radiant barrier, is fully insulated and air sealed.
We received a call from a homeowner in Feeding Hills, MA who was concerned about attic leaks, inefficient fiberglass insulation and a leaky vent. We sent our building science specialist out to evaluate the home.
Our solution included a transformation that included sealing the attic with blown cellulose insulation and lining SilverGlo foam board against the ceiling walls. We created a barrier in the center for extra storage space too.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by ECO Energy Solutions, LLC, the homeowner was very happy with the work and now lives comfortably in the home.
This Feeding Hills, MA homeowner contacted Fogarty's Home Services to evaluate their home for energy efficiency. When we arrived, we found that the dryer and bathroom vents were not air sealed or insulated. When this type of ventilation is not installed properly, air will leak, causing temperature and moisture discomfort in the home. The homeowner will also experience higher energy bills. Fogarty's Home Services installed Foamax® insulation over the plywood covering where the vents are located. Foamax® is an advanced polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel designed with a white foil finish on the front and a foil vapor barrier on the back. The white finished face brightens the basement and the vapor barrier helps control basement humidity. Foamax® makes a big difference in the temperature of your walls, providing a comfortable basement and lowering heating costs.
