Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Suffield, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his insulation. He approached us after a friend we had helped last year "raved" about us, and he was excited to have multiple things in his home done at once. One of the things he was intent on insulating was his basement's rim joist the way that we had at his friend's home. (The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). The homeowner had gotten an energy audit done, and he had spoken to a different contractor. He did not think the proposed solution (fiberglass batts) was sufficient based off of the friend's experience. He wanted to have spray foam, and he was ready to have it done right away.

We had the perfect solution for this customer! As he requested, we utilized two-part expanding spray foam. We spray this foam in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Insulating the rim joist in this way seals all air leaks -- filling in the cracks and gaps that are present there. This prevents outside air from getting into the home. The homeowner is now very happy, and he is much more comfortable in his home! 

This homeowner in Suffield, CT reached out to us regarding a family home she had. She was having issues with drafts, cold spots, and missing insulation. The home was older, and she was concerned about it. She found that it was not energy efficient at all, and she was hoping that she would be able to find a solution that would help her keep her energy bills low and keep her family comfortable. She had multiple spaces that needed to be insulated, including a crawl space that was poorly insulated and unencapsulated.

We were able to help this customer! One of the solutions we utilized was our CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system. We first insulated the walls using our SilverGlo™ foam insulation. For the floor, we added a dimpled drainage mat to create a thermal break. We then installed TerraBlock™ floor insulation on top of that. Then, we installed a CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner over that insulation. We fastened it into both the walls and floor to create a permanent solution for this crawl space. We then added two-part expanding spray foam to the rim joist to ensure that the crawl space was covered. Combined with our other solutions, this homeowner will experience less drafts, warmer floors, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable home! 

This homeowner in Deerfield, MA had been living with ineffective insulation and finally reached us when she realized it was not doing as good of a job insulating the home as it could have been.

We removed the old, soiled insulation and now with a fresh clean slate, we can go in and seal any air leaks that were previously buried under the batts of insulation, which did nothing to stop the the convective loop of heated air from inside the home. We then blew in 20 inches of our TruSoft cellulose, which over the following days settles down to 17 inches, or R70.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home will be far easier to heat and keep comfortable this winter.

This homeowner in Cromwell, CT called us after being referred by another company who had been handling their mold remediation. The employees at that company recommended that the insulation said that ventilation needed to be added in order to prevent a reoccurence of the mold. They also recommended that the insulation be replaced. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home in order to get a closer look at the attic. When he arrived, he discussed with the homeowner what their attic concerns were. In addition to the humidity and mold issue they were experiencing, they were also experiencing conditioned air and energy loss problems. 

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 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! 

This homeowner in South Deerfield, MA called us out to their home for a Home Energy Evaluation. This home had some old, inefficient fiberglass without air any sealing in their attic. This allows conditioned or heated air that is paid for to escape the home.

We first removed all of the old, fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials. We air seal all top plates, end plated, and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. This homeowner wanted to be able to still have a storage area so we built them an insulated catwalk space for them. Now, blow our TruSoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps. Now, thanks to Fogarty's Home Services, this home will have more even temperatures, and is more energy efficient!
