These homeowners called us because they wanted the upstairs of their home to be more comfortable year-round and they also wanted their issues with Ice Dams resolved. These homeowners were also experiencing moisture issues throughout the home, especially in the basement.

Our Building Science Specialist was able to do a whole home evaluation based on the issues at hand and came up with the following solutions: First we would remove and dispose of old, dirty existing batt insulation in the attic and prep for fresh, clean insulation. Next we would extend the bath vent and duct bath fan through the gable end and to the outside so the air is no longer feeding into the attic and creating lots of moisture and mold. We air sealed and insulated the scuttle cover. We had to create a new entrance to the knee wall areas where we installed a Super KneeWall™ System with Silverglo™, then we dense packed the roof with TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation, air sealed the floor with ZypFoam™ and finished by insulating the attic floor with TruSoft™ Cellulose as well. Next we air sealed the basement with closed-cell Spray Foam insulation along the Rim Joists and installed Foamax™ board on the walls. We also Removed and replaced a few exterior doors.

Plainfield'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.

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!

Job Stories From Plainfield, CT
Removing Old Insulation from an Attic in Plainfield, CT

This homeowner in Plainfield, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him with a black mold issue he was having. He stated that he did not have a vapor barrier and had blocked soffits in his attic. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, he noted that the insulation desperately needed replacing due to the mold problem -- it would need a complete refresh and could not be salvaged.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. But first, we had to remove the old insulation. Batt insulation was bagged and then the attic was vacuumed to remove pieces, parts and dust. Result - Now the attic is clean! It’s ready for proper air sealing and installation of clean, new, fresh cellulose insulation or one of our other strategies to make the home comfortable and energy efficient.

Dense Packing Cathedral Ceiling in Plainfield, CT

Cathedral ceilings can be dramatically under-insulated and result in a ton of problems

 

A poorly insulated cathedral ceiling can lead to wasting the air you paid to heat your home. Air in your home that you paid to heat, hits the cold ceiling and descends, creating a “convective” loop and making your home feel cold and drafty. In the summer, the roofing heats up to 160° and the roof heat radiates through the ceiling and heats the room. 

 

This was a problem for a homeowner in Plainfield, CT

 

This homeowner was experiencing their cold and drafty rooms. We did an evaluation and found out that it was the Cathedral ceiling. Our team removed the ridge vent on the roof and inserted a long tube. This long tube has TruSoft Cellulose in it. TruSoft Cellulose is a densely packed insulation that covers up all the air spaces in the ceiling. Once the dense pack is installed the plywood and roof shingles are re-installed. This job resulted in the homeowner having rooms warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, also less drafty and more comfortable rooms.

Knee Wall Insulation in Canton, CT

Do you store Valuables in your Knee wall space but they get ruined by the temperature?

 

A short wall called a "knee wall" forms a triangle space which may or may not is assessable by a short door or an access panel. The floor and knee wall space side with exposed fiberglass batts. Since fiberglass does not stop airflow, the insulation does next to nothing to air seal and insulate. 

 

This was a problem for a homeowner out of Canton, CT

 

Our team used our SilverGlo foam insulation boards and installed them between the ceiling joist bays. SilverGlo is expanded polystyrene foam insulation with graphite infused into the foam, which increases the R-value by 24% compared to regular EPs foam. SilverGlo also has a barrier on both sides to reflect heat out in the summer and house heat back in the winter. After we insulated the Knee wall space this homeowner experienced a cooler upstairs in the hot weather, less drafts, and a less dusty knee wall.
