Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Ludlow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to make her home more comfortable - some rooms in her home were very cold. When our Home Comfort Specialist came to the home, he noted that the rim joist was unsealed and poorly insulated with just fiberglass batts. 

To help this homeowner, we had to first remove the inefficient insulation. This was bagged and put into our trucks for disposal at our warehouse.

After that, we used our closed cell expanding spray foam. We sprayed this evenly in each cavity in the rim joist and over the sill plate. (The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house). This two-part spray foam expands to seal all cracks and gaps. It also has a high insulation value per inch of R7. 

Now, this homeowner has a warmer and more comfortable home! 

This landlord in Ludlow, MA called us hoping to help his tenant with their apartment. A roof leak had caused damaged insulation and mold in the apartment. He had replaced the roof, patching the leak, and it was now time to address the mold and insulation damage. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the apartment to evaluate the condition it was in. With that information in mind, we were able to make a plan with the landlord and their tenant. 

We began by tearing out the ceiling in the unit. Once the drywall and insulation had been taken out, it was time to tackle the mold issue. We removed the mold using our Mold-X2 Cleaner and Botanical treatments. Mold-X2 Cleaner effectively eliminates mold and mildew stains on contact. It is non-abrasive and non-flammable, and is sprayed on effected areas. Once Mold-X2 Cleaner is applied, mold disappears instantly, leaving wood surfaces looking nearly new. Mold-X2 Botanical, a plant-based disinfectant with a pleasant, temporary scent, is sprayed or fogged on surfaces, which prevents mold from growing back. After this, we went back in and insulated the apartment. We started by spraying the joists with our two-part expanding spray foam. Spray foam fills all cracks and gaps in the wood. After that, we finished the insulation portion by installing RockWool batts. After it was fully insulated, we worked with another contractor to add the sheetrock back. He then repainted it, and the apartment was comfortable and mold free! 

This homeowner in Vernon, CT called us out to their home to take a look at a potential mold issue and to replace old inefficient fiberglass insulation. Mold can be very dangerous. It is harmful to have in your home, especially for pets, young children, and older people. The old inefficient fiberglass without air sealing was also a huge concern. 

We removed all of the old, fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials properly  Next, we fog our Mold-X treatment throughout the attic to neutralize any nooks and crannies that can be affected. Now we are ready for the next step. We seal up all top plates and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. We even made an insulated storage area as shown in the after photo. Now we are ready to blow our Truoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps.

Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more energy efficient!

This homeowner in Vernon, CT called us hoping to get opinions regarding his home. He was hoping to talk about both attic and basement insulation. In the attic, he had old fiberglass batts. These were moldy, dirty, and needed to be replaced. 

We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the old blown-in insulation using a large vacuum. 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 Vernon, CT initially called us in the winter hoping for an audit to figure out how to make his home more energy efficient. He had recently moved in, and the home was very cold. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out and noted that, based off thermal imaging, his rim joist was completely uninsulated. However, this could not be confirmed due to the fact that the ceiling was covering it and would need to be cut back in order to check the insulation or re-insulate. The homeowner wanted to move forward, however, he knew that his work schedule would be very chaotic for a while. Therefore, he put the project on hold. He then called us back in the fall and said he was ready to move forward. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer! We first cut back the ceiling to ensure that we had accessed. We then insulated the rim joist (the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). 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!
