Before After
Replacing Attic Insulation in Barre, MA Replacing Attic Insulation in Barre, MA

This homeowner in Barre, MA called us hoping that we would be able to replace his old and inefficient insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he found that the attic was not air sealed and was insulated with inefficient fiberglass insulation. This meant that there were severe air leaks and temperature issues.

 

We first had to remove all of the fiberglass insulation. This was bagged and placed in our truck in order to be disposed of. We then vacuumed up the remaining loose insulation. 

 

After that, we air sealed every gap in the attic. To do that, we utilize Zypfoam™ expanding foam. After doing other necessary services prior to insulation, we install baffles (air chutes) into the rafter bays as necessary. We finally use our TruSoft™ blown-in cellulose insulation, blown in to the optimal R-value. This insulation fills all gaps and voids, and prevents thermal bridging by filling over framing members. This homeowner now has a properly insulated home -- it is warmer, more comfortable, and even quieter!

Job Stories From Barre, MA
Insulating a Basement in Barre, MA

This homeowner in Barre, MA called us hoping that we would be able to insulate his basement, as he had removed his own insulation. Our Home Comfort Specialist came to the home and recommended that the rim joist in the home be insulated. The “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. The joints and gaps between all the framing members allow for a lot of air leakage into the house. The rim joist is seldom insulated and never air sealed. Basement ceiling insulation, especially fiberglass batts, doesn’t stop the flow of cold air into a home. Results - cold floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms, cold basement/lower level, higher heating and cooling bills and more condensation in the basement in the summer.

 

Fogarty's had the perfect solution for this customer. Two part expanding spray foam was installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters a home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold basement surfaces.
