Southbridge, MA's Reliable Insulation & Radon Mitigation Company

This homeowner in Southbridge, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his attic insulation. He had unfortunately found mold in the attic, and needed someone to come and replace the insulation with something better -- like our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation.

Luckily, we had the perfect solution for this customer. But first, we had to make sure that all of the old insulation was out of the home. We removed the damaged, soiled insulation from this homeowner's attic. Batt insulation was bagged and then the attic was vacuumed to remove pieces, parts and dust. Loose fill insulation was vacuumed with a giant vacuum located outside with giant filter bags and a very long, fat hose. 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.

This homeowner called us out to their home in Southbridge, MA to take a look at the issues they were having in their home. They were having trouble keeping the first floor at a comfortable temperature no matter the season. They told our Building Science Specialist that the first floor was cold on their feet all winter. Another concern was their very high heating and cooling bills all year round. This homeowner mentioned to us that it was always so humid in their basements during the summers, they were uncomfortable even doing their laundry.

Upon arriving to this home, we spoke with the homeowner first to ask them all of their concerns and issues again. After this, we can begin our Dr. Energy Saver Full Home Energy Evaluation. We did a walk through of the home, and finally got to the basement. We realized that like most other homes, this basement did not have and air sealing on their rim joist. If a homeowner is concerned, we are concerned. We sat down with them to go over treatments that would eliminate the issues that have been having in their home.

At this point, we knew what we had to do. We needed to air seal this customers rim joist to eliminate their cold floors, uncomfortable rooms, and high heating and cooling bills. We sprayed our two part spray foam on the rim joist and over the top plates to seal all air leaks from the exterior of the home. This sealed up all of the cracks and gaps that were previously allowing air from hostile outdoor environments to enter the home. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowner can now live happy, comfortably, and energy efficient all year round!
