Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Holyoke, MA reached out to us regarding finishing her basement. She was hoping to increase the space in her home for the comfort of her family. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home to evaluate, he found that she did not have adequate insulation. 

We were able to help this customer. We utilized our Foamax polyisocyanurate board alongside two-part spray foam to insulate the basement. Before we were able to utilize these, however, we had to remove the mold and the old insulation. Once the mold was removed, we were able to go in and begin to insulate. The Foamax polyiso board was able to fasten directly over the existing walls. Now, this homeowner is happy and more comfortable in her basement! 

This homeowner in Holyoke, MA approached us while we were at her neighbor's home. She had recognized our company from television commercials, and knew we would be able to help her. She was looking for help with her finished basement, which she described as very dark and musty. Once our Home Comfort Specialist was finished meeting with her neighbor, he went to this customer's home to evaluate it. The homeowner elaborated on the issues she had been experiencing. She stated that she had owned the home for over 50 years, and had been looking to get her basement fixed for most of that time. She said she had been meaning to call us for a long time. She wanted to take her basement from dark, musty, and humid to bright, clean, and dry. She also wanted to make it more comfortable.

We were able to help this customer. We began with tearing out the finished basement. We found that the walls were insulated with inefficient fiberglass batts that were damaged by the humidity. Once everything was removed from the basement, we began to utilize our solutions to prevent this issue from reoccurring. Our goal was to help the homeowner feel more comfortable in her home. For insulation, we utilized our Foamax polyisocyanurate board alongside two-part spray foam to insulate the basement. The Foamax polyiso board was able to fasten directly over the existing walls. Now, this homeowner is happy to have her home cleaner, brighter, and much more comfortable! 

The owner of this commercial space was experiencing loud hallway noise outside of his office.  Our team installed a cellulose insulweb treatment dense packing the walls to create a sound barrier and eliminate noise.  After completing this treatment, the owner noticed an instant noise reduction as a result of our soundproofing treatment. 

This homeowner called us because he purchased a home near the water and wanted to re-do the basement. The homeowner wanted to create a moisture barrier in the basement before continuing with the total basement finishing project.

Our Building Science Specialist carefully evaluated the basement and concluded that the best option was to air seal and insulate the rim joist with closed-cell, Spray Foam Insulation. We offered a simple and affordable solution to effectively solve the problem for the long term. We fix uncomfortable homes!

This homeowner in West Springfield, MA called us out to their home to see what could be done for the prevention of their ice damming issues they had been experiencing. We conducted our Full Home Energy Evaluation and noticed that their attic had old, nasty fiberglass insulation. Since fiberglass insulation is light and fluffy it allows air to travel through it, not making as the best insulator. We knew that we needed to remove and replace this insulation with more efficient material.

For this specific attic, we needed to create an insulation catwalk so that the HVAC system was still reachable. We install our expanded polystyrene SilverGlo foam board insulation across the ceiling joists. SilverGlo insulation boards are infused with graphite, increasing the insulation value by 24%. WE secure the SillverGlo with 5” screws and 3” washers. Dams made of Oriented Strand board are installed to keep insulation off catwalk. These Oriented Strand boards are two times stronger than plywood! After this, TruSoft cellulose insulation is blown into attic, also covering any sace beneath the catwalk is filled. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, the ice dams in this home will be drastically reduced due to new insulation and air sealage of the attic!
