Reliable Insulation & Radon Testing Company in Woodstock, CT

This homeowner in Woodstock, CT called us saying that he needed an evaluation in his attic after a roof leak damaged his insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home, he did a thorough evaluation and noted that there were multiple problems caused by the leak, including insulation that needed replacement and, unfortunately, mold. Mold in an attic is not normal and definitely not healthy.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We utilized our Mold-X2™ Cleaner and Botanical treatment. Mold-X2 Cleaner effectively eliminates mold and mildew stains on contact. It is non-abrasive and non-flammable, and is sprayed on effected areas. There is a temporary odor from the product, so we recommend that homeowners leave the house for a few hours, depending on how well the space can be ventilated. Once Mold-X2 Cleaner is applied, mold disappears instantly, leaving wood surfaces looking nearly new. Mold-X2 Botanical, a plant-based disinfectant with a pleasant, temporary scent, is sprayed on surfaces after, which prevents the mold from growing back. Now the attic is ready for our other solutions. Result - Mold eliminated, no odors or wood rot.

This homeowner in Woodstock, CT called us hoping that we would be able to come out as he had some moisture in his home. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that there was moisture in the crawlspace and in the attic of the home. As a result of this moisture, the home had a mold issue in the attic. Mold in an attic is not normal, not healthy, and a sign that there is another problem in the home causing the relative humidity in the attic to go above 75% so mold can grow on wood and insulation. Result - Mold all over the roof deck, odor and even rot.

These homeowners had a drafty house that prompted them to give us a call to check the insulation in their home. During our free home evaluation, the Building Science Specialist noticed that the insulation under the addition in the home was inadequate. The space under the addition was open to outside air which was then making its way up into the home.

We removed the old insulation and then realized that the rim joist, the perimeter of the floor framing system, was not insulated or air sealed. Fiberglass batts such as the ones that were installed into this home years ago which were starting to sag, do not stop air flow. 

Before we could insulate the floor joists, we tackled the rim joist. We cut blocks of our SilverGlo graphite infused foam board to fit into each rim joist bay and sealed around them with expanding foam to make it airtight. 

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this treatment, paired with insulating the floor joists, made sure that this home will stay warm and comfortable all year round!
