Hatfield's Leading Spray Foam Insulation Contractor
If you want to boost home comfort and lower energy bills, then spray foam insulation is the best choice. This is because spray foam insulation efficiently fills gaps and cracks, providing an air-tight barrier. It is also great to use in hard-to-reach areas because of its super-adhesive qualities. Plus, since it is waterproof, moisture cannot pass through the foam, unlike fiberglass and cellulose insulation, which makes it extremely durable and long-lasting. Also, because spray foam is sprayed as a liquid and then expands and hardens to fill voids and gaps, you don't have to worry about areas being missed. Once cured, spray foam insulation will stay in place for decades to come and will never shift or settle like fiberglass. To ensure your home has the best insulation available and your energy bills are low, switch to spray foam insulation today!
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation Include:
- Spray foam works in all areas of the home
- Has a greater R-value
- Acts as an air sealant
- Is waterproof
- Leaves no gaps

Moisture-Resistant Basement Finishing System
After waterproofing the basement, many homeowners opt to increase their home's living space by remodeling. But not all basement finishing products are made the same. Basement flooring, wall systems, and ceiling tiles made with organic materials suited for upper levels will become water-damaged and wear down. That is why we ensure our solutions are specifically designed for the below-grade space, giving you the basement of your dreams that is built to last!

Problem:
This Homeowner in Hatfield, MA called our office with a problem lots of people have in the winter and summer months. The homeowner was frustrated with the high energy bills generated by cold floors and rooms in the winter and general air flow in the summer months.
The first thing that usually comes to mind is that the basement/crawl space ceiling must need to be insulated, or so this homeowner thought. Easy right? Not always.
Upon completion of our Energy Evaluation, our Building Science Specialist was able to identify that the problem was in fact something of a somewhat different nature. We discovered that the home was built with a vented basement/crawl space with a partial dirt floor. Homes were constructed this way for many, many years and over time Building Scientists have discovered that was a big mistake. In the winter, vents let cold air directly into your home. In the summer, the vents let in warm, humid air that is cooled by the subterranean crawl space. This causes relative humidity to rise and condensation to form, leading to mold, which rots the wood and eventually the rim joist needs to be replaced and mold remediated.
Result: condensation, mold, rot, pests and odors, cold floors, drafts, higher fuel and electric bills
Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy, Proposed Solution:
Install an Encapsulation System with Drainage Matting, Terra Block Floor Insulation and SilverGlo Insulation on the Walls
We will seal all vents and other air leading in/out from the outside. Walls are insulated with SilverGlo Insulation. A dimpled plastic draining matting is installed across the floor, to create an airspace and thermal break and TerraBlock floor insulation is installed over it. Finally, we install the Crawl Space Encapsulation Liner permanently across the dirt floor.
Result: much lower humidity, much warmer floors upstairs, less drafts, more comfortable house, lower fuel and electric bills!
To complete the job we proposed that we insulate and air seal the rim joists with spray foam and replace the Old, inefficient basement/crawlspace door with an insulated and sealed crawl space door.
