Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Unionville, CT reached out to us with a drafty, uncomfortable home. He believed that there was an issue with the attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and noted that the insulation in the attic was not adequate at all, and in some places the insulation was quite literally falling apart. This was particularly evident in the kneewalls in the main section of the house, which had very little insulation. 

Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services had the perfect solution for this customer! We were able to help them by re-insulating their attic. In the kneewall space, we first started by bagging and removing the batt insulation on the wall. We then vacuumed out all loose insulation. 

After that, we got to work insulating the kneewall. We installed blocks of SilverGlo™ foam insulation board between the ceiling joist bays. We then air sealed between these blocks. Since SilverGlo™ has a radiant barrier on both sides, it reflects roof heat out in the summer and house heat back in in the winter -- ensuring that the homeowner will be comfortable. They can already feel the difference in their home! 

This room over the garage is being renovated.  The homeowner wanted to be sure his home is properly insulated.  One of the treatments our team did in this room was to insulate the kneewall.  A kneewall is the triangular space under the sloped roof and behind the wall of the room.  We installed our Foamax polyisocyanurate foam board on the exterior walls.  Foamax provides superior insulation and it is flame retardant.  The homeowner can rest assured the knee walls in this room are properly insulated. 

This Home in Canton, CT was experiencing drafts and needed a Rim Joist insulation.

This homeowner in Granville, MA called us saying that he had found mold and damp insulation in his attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and was able to do a full evaluation. He noted that among other issues such as improper ventilation, the attic was not air sealed and had ineffective insulation. 

In order to help this attic customer, we first had to remove the old fiberglass insulation. There were two types of insulation, blown-in fiberglass and fiberglass batt insulation. We bagged the batt insulation and vacuumed the rest out with a long hose. 

We then set to work re-insulating the attic. We first air-sealed all cracks and gaps in the attic floor using Zypfoam one part spray foam. We used our TiteShell™ can light covers to cover up the can lights and sealed around them. 

After that, we insulated the attic floor using our TruSoft™ blown in cellulose insulation. We insulated to R-60, which is the recommended level of insulation for attics in our region. 

Now, this homeowner has a much more comfortable home - he was already feeling a noticeable difference less than a week after this job was completed! 

This homeowner initially reached out to us saying that he wanted his attic and exterior walls insulated. Many older homes have no insulation in the exterior walls. Most homes without insulation experience cold, drafty rooms, their heating and cooling systems run much more and need more service (causing higher energy bills!), and it's difficult to keep house at a comfortable temperature.

We had the perfect solution for this homeowner. We dense packed the exterior walls using TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. His siding was removed temporarily and 29/16” holes were drilled through the wall sheathing. A fill tube was inserted up (and down) into wall cavities to not only fill, but dense pack the wall cavities. Dense packing is a technique that packs the insulation in very tightly - so tightly that all irregular shaped cavities and crevices in the wall cavities are filled, and air will not penetrate the dense packed cellulose. Dense packed cellulose stops air flow through the wall and insulates. TruSoft™ Cellulose is treated to be highly fire, mold and pest resistant. The holes were plugged and the siding was put back. Result - A less drafty, warmer, quieter, more comfortable house, less dust/pollen, house not so dry in winter, lower fuel/electric bills, heating system runs less - less maintenance.
