Before & After Photos

This customer in Suffield, CT called us out to help them with a problem they were having in their home. The problem was that they were having trouble keeping the room above their garage warm in the winter. Old fiberglass insulation leaves too much space for air to circulate around them, eliminating the R-value and making the room above cold and drafty in the winter. 

To fix this we have to add more insulation into the garage ceiling. First we must drill holes in the garage ceiling. We need to do this in order to have somewhere to insert and dense pack our TruSoft cellulose insulation. That brings us to our next step. We take a flexible long dense pack hose and insert it all the way into the ceiling and across the top to fill in any space. Then we start dense packing with out TruSoft cellulose insulation. This will crush and condense the insulation previously in the ceilings and increases the insulation value. This density also stops airflow through the floor from air leaks. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this customer is now comfortable in their room above the garage all year long!

This homeowner in Suffield, CT called us out to their home because they were having some cold floor and humidity concerns. During our Home Energy Evaluation we noticed they had a dirt crawl space. In the winter, crawlspaces let a lot of cold air into your home, and with little to no insulation, your home is not protected from that harsh outdoor air. As you can see in the photo, there was some rim joist insulation, but not enough. Crawlspaces are known to be a very moist area, with lots of humidity issues, especially in the summer.

Time for our treatment! We first lay down our plastic dimple drainage mat across the floor. Next, our Terrablock insulation boards are installed on top of the drainage mat. Finally, we use our 20 mil thick encapsulation liner across the floor and seal it with special tape, fasteners, and spikes as needed. This liner contains anti-microbial ingredients to fight off any potential mold, and allergens! Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more comfortable, happy, and energy efficient!

This homeowner in Suffield, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her insulation in her basement. Our Home Comfort Specialist evaluated the home and found many issues that the homeowners had just accepted dealing with. One of these issues was the fact that the home had no door at the bottom of the hatch steps. Since bulkhead doors are not insulated, they leak a lot of cold (or warm!) air into the basement, and it can float up into the rest of the living areas. This can cause cold floors in the winter or condensation, high humidity, and even mold in the summer. This is what the homeowner was experiencing.

Luckily for this customer, we were able to help her with this issue! We installed a insulated exterior door at the bottom of the steps. We first installed the framing that it needed. Then, we installed the door, complete with weather stripping and a locking knob. The fact that the door is insulated means that they will not be affected by the bulkhead door leaking air - the outside air stays outside. 

This homeowner in Suffield, CT called us hoping that we would be able to insulate his crawl space and add a vapor barrier. He had an older home (built in the 1850s) with a very tight crawl space. In the winter, vents let cold air directly into the home. Floor insulation sags away from the subfloor and the cold air gets above it - rendering the insulation useless. In the summer the vents let warm humid air in which is cooled by the subterranean crawl space. This caused the relative humidity to go way up and condensation to form all over the crawl space surfaces including floor joists and ducts. Mold grows and wood rots, while insect and other pests flourish. Musty odors can be noticed upstairs as mold spores travel upwards into the living space. Eventually rotted floor joist must be replaced and mold must be remediated. An unending stream of water vapor comes up from the ground adding to the moisture load in the crawl space and house. The damp air is harder to heat and cool. Result - condensation, mold, rot, pests and odors, cold floors, drafts, uncomfortable home, higher fuel and electric bills.

We had the perfect solution for this customer -- the CleanSpace™ encapsulation system! The crawl space walls are insulated with SilverGlo™ insulation with a reflective radiant barrier face. SilverGlo™ foam has graphite infused into the foam to increase the R-value by 24% over standard EPS foam. Then a dimpled plastic drainage matting is installed on the floor to create an airspace and thermal break between the CleanSpace and earth. Finally the heavy duty, 20 mil thick CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner is installed permanently across the dirt floor - sealed with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor. CleanSpace™ features Ultrafresh™ anti-microbial ingredients in the product. Results - much lower humidity, much warmer floors upstairs, less drafts, more comfortable house, lower fuel and electric bills.

This homeowner in Ashfield, MA called us out to their home to help them make a bedroom warmer and increase energy efficiency in their home. When this home was constructed there was a room built with an exposed wall to the attic. This will let the harsh outdoor air into the room that you are paying to heat or cool while letting that cooled or heated air out. This results in the room being too hot or too cold, and high fuel and electric bills.

To fix this uncomfortable bedroom, we want to get right to work. We install our SilverGlo foam insulation board and seal it with special long screws to the attic side of the bedroom wall. We foam between any SilverGlo pieces to make sure air is not able to continue to leak in or out.

Now, this room will be more comfortable, affordable, and energy efficient thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions!
