Insulating a Basement in East Longmeadow, MA

This homeowner in East Longmeadow, MA called us initially asking about mold in her basement. Her child lives in the basement, and she was concerned that the child was exposed to mold. There was a musty odor and high humidity. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he identified the source of her concerns. 

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer! We utilized two-part expanding spray foam. We insulated the rim joist (the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). 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 she is much more comfortable in her home! 

Encapsulating a Crawl Space in East Longmeadow, MA

This homeowner in East Longmeadow, MA reached out to us because she wanted to replace her front door. She had a very old home, and the door had not been replaced in decades. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he discussed other home comfort problems they were experiencing. They had been experiencing drafts, and they were hopeful that that could be remedied. Our Home Comfort Specialist went down to the crawl space in the home and found that it was not encapsulated, and it had inefficient insulation that was starting to fall down.

 

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!

Reducing a Drafty Home in Ludlow, MA

This homeowner from Ludlow, MA  experienced cold, drafty rooms and heat loss during the winter months. They were getting frequent deliveries followed by high fuel bills. After an evaluation and inspection, we found old insulation and many air leaks.

We started to remove the fiberglass insulation and realized that it was not a properly installed. This added to the ineffectiveness and warranty of the material. After we completed the removal, we air sealed and insulated all the drafts and small spaces using our foam insulation.  We followed up by blowing in our Dr. Energy Savers TruSoft cellulose insulation for that final touch.

Upgrading a Crawlspace in Ludlow, MA

This homeowner in Ludlow, MA was working towards getting her home in better condition. She knew that the crawlspace had not been well maintained and knew that it had to get an overhaul. An improperly insulated and air sealed crawlspace can lead to cold floors and even mold if left unchecked.

We began by cleaning out the old insulation and any animal droppings that were present in the crawlspace. We then installed our SilverGlo EPS foam board on the walls, installed insulation and a vapor barrier to the floor, and lastly sealed the rim joist with spray foam.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more comfortable and energy efficient.
