Russell'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!

Radon gas is one of the leading causes of cancer for nonsmokers in the United States. But since it is odorless, invisible, and tasteless, you need the help of a professional to detect it through radon testing. That is why Fogarty's Home Services offers reliable radon testing services throughout Russell, MA using a continuous radon monitor. If needed, we can also design and install a personalized radon mitigation system. Or, if you have an existing mitigation system, we can inspect it for you and offer a radon fan replacement.

Plus, home radon isn't the only thing on our radar. We offer indoor air quality services, including dehumidification systems and much more. Call us today to schedule a radon test or estimate on our indoor air quality services!

Job Stories From Russell, MA
Reducing High Humidity in a Basement in Russell, MA

This homeowner in Russell, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his basement. It was extremely humid in the basement, to the point where they were unable to store things there. High humidity in a basement is caused by a number of important conditions. High humidity causes many problems in a home such as mold (which grows at Relative Humidities [RH] above 75%), rot (which happens above 90% RH) odors, airborne mold spores that aggravate allergies and asthma, increased pests and insects such as termites, and higher air conditioning and heating costs. Result - cold floors above, condensation, mold, rot, odors, drafty, uncomfortable home, higher fuel and electric bills.

 

We had the perfect solution for this homeowner. The SaniDry™ Sedona air system is a powerful but energy efficient dehumidification and air filtration system in one unit. Able to remove an incredible 100 pints of water per day and using only 5.9 amps of electricity, the SaniDry™ Sedona drains automatically to a sump or the outside with a condensate pump. It has a powerful 310 cfm blower to circulate the dry air completely around to dry building materials and contents. Mold doesn’t have a chance! An automatic control is easy - set it to 55% RH and forget it - the SaniDry™ Sedona does the rest! And there’s no buckets to empty! Results - Low Relative Humidity, mold stops growing, odors are reduced, basement is suitable for storage, lower air conditioning cost, upstairs is dryer.

Insulating an Attic in Russell, MA

This homeowner in Russell, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. The home was very uncomfortable, and one problem in the home was attic insulation. Since attics are vented, we should think of them thermally as outside in the winter. In summer because of the suns radiant heat, they are much worse than outside, reaching 130˚ on summer days. Clearly, we need to keep an absolute boundary between our living space and the attic so inside air doesn’t move to the attic in the heating season (convection), and heat doesn’t pass up through our ceilings in winter (conduction), and down from our ceilings in the hot summer (conduction, radiation). To reduce overall air leakage, the attic is the first priority because warm air rises to the top of the house and finds any and all holes to leak out into the cold vented attic and is lost. Holes, gaps and joints include between drywall and framing at the top of walls, around pipes, wires, electric boxes, fixtures, duct, penetrations, ceiling grilles and joints in framing. And the only reason cold air leaks in from the outside at the lower levels of the house, is that warm air leaked out of the top and created a suction at the bottom. Attics are dramatically under insulated compared to today’s standards. Result - cold drafty rooms downstairs, colder floors, house is harder to heat and keep comfortable, higher fuel and electric bills.

 

We had the perfect solution for this homeowner. Adding insulation in an attic without sealing all air leaks first should never be done, because it is just burying air leaks and making them impossible to seal later - and insulation DOES NOT STOP air leaks. That’s why, in this solution, we first carefully air seal the many various points where air from the home leaks up into the attic and is lost. Our premium TruSoft™ cellulose insulation is blown to the optimum R-value (typically R60). TruSoft™ will not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. Blown insulation fills all gaps and odd shaped voids, and by filling over framing members, “thermal bridging” is avoided. Results - a warmer, more comfortable, less drafty house that the homeowner notice everywhere - even downstairs! House is quieter. Fuel and electric bills are lower.

Insulating a Basement in Russell, MA

This homeowner in Russell, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his basement. There was insufficient insulation, and he was experiencing increased allergies due to mold and dust in the basement. In a basement, 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 the home. Results - cold floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms, cold basement/lower level, higher heating and cooling bills and more condensation in the basement or crawl space in the summer.

 

We had the perfect solution for this homeowner. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the basement in order to seal and insulate it. Two part expanding spray foam is 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 the 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.
