Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Dalton, MA called us to her home to see if we could help fix her extremely cold basement. When our Home Comfort Specialist was inspecting the basement, he noticed that part of the issue was the basement door. Unfortunately, this homeowner's door was old and broken down -- letting a lot of cold air in!

To fix this, we installed an insulated steel door. First, we removed the old door and framing. Then, we re-framed the doorway. After that, we hung the door, making sure everything is level and plum. 

Once this door went in, this homeowner did not have to worry about having a cold basement anymore!

This homeowner in Southington, CT called us after discovering a mold issue in his home. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noticed that a large contributor to the mold was that there was inadequate insulation. Additionally, this homeowner had a storage deck that he used that was not insulated and hard to get insulation under. 

We were able to help this customer. We removed the old deck in the attic and replaced it with our SuperPlatform™ insulated storage deck. The SuperPlatform™ is comprised of two materials -- our SilverGlo™ graphite-infused foam insulation board as well as OSB board over the top. Once the attic floor was clear and prepared, we got to work on building the SuperPlatform™. SilverGlo™ is laid down first, creating the base of the deck. Once that is secured in place, we installed OSB over the SilverGlo™, ensuring that it was secure as well. We then installed more OSB to create a dam -- this dam reached up approximately 18" above the attic floor. This meant that when we insulated the attic with other treatments, the insulation would not get on the deck. Now, the homeowner can continue to use the attic for storage, with all of the bonuses of proper insulation! 

The owners of this home in Cheshire, MA were experiencing ice damming.  They also wanted their home to be more comfortable.  Stopping air leakage at the top of the house was a priority.  One of the solutions our team provided was to air seal all the can lights in the attic.  Can lights are holes in the ceiling which allow air to leak between the drywall and the fixture, and through the fixture itself.  Our team installed our TiteShell airtight, fireproof can light covers.  TiteShell covers are safe from the fire hazards of hot bulbs and fixtures.  After they are installed, insulation can be blown against them and over them.  

This customer called us out in regards to a problem he was having in his home. The problem was that this mobile home had a lot of ice damming in the winter. ice damming can severely damage your home! Ice dams occur after heavy snowfall when warm air in the attic causes the roof to warm and the snow to melt due to poor insulation. To fix this, we have to first remove all of the old fiberglass batting insulation that is not doing its job. We properly bag and dispose of those materials. Now its time to air seal. We air seal all accessible penetrations, end plates and top plates where air can leak from your home into your attic. This is done with our two part foam. Next, our TruSoft cellulose insulation is blown in the attic to get our optimum R-value of R60. With this we fill all of the gaps and odd shaped voids so that thermal bridging is avoided. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy solutions this happy customer can live comfortable without ice damming this winter!

This homeowner in Unionville, CT called us hoping that we would be able to take a look at his insulation. He was experiencing a lot of issues with rooms that were uneven temperatures. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, he noted that one issue in the home was the crawlspace. It was poorly insulated and unencapsulated, meaning that cold air was coming in from outside and traveling through the entire house. 

We were able to help this homeowner by utilizing our CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system - with a few modifications for the home itself.

We started by utilizing our two-part expanding spray foam to insulate around the base of the (now unused) chimney that is in the crawl space. Then, we got to work. We started by adding SilverGlo™ foam board insulation on the walls. SilverGlo™ has graphite infused into the foam, increasing its R-value by 24% over standard foam. Then, we added two-part expanding spray foam to the rim joist and over the sill plate until it met the SilverGlo™, forming a barrier. Then, we laid out dimpled drainage mat on the floor, creating airspace as well as a thermal break. Dimpled drainage mat also has the bonus of forcing any water that may occur under the mat to go to the lowest point of the crawl space. We then added TerraBlock™ floor insulation over top of that. After that, we installed our heavy duty CleanSpace™ encapsulation liner, sealing it to the walls and floors. 

Now, this homeowner's crawl space is insulated and encapsulated -- causing the home to have less drafts and cold floors. They are much more happy!
