Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hampden, MA called us hoping to find a solution for her mold problem. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that the dirt crawl space was uninsulated and unencapsulated. This was fairly common for the time the home was built. However, building science has changed a lot in the intervening 80 years.

We were able to help this homeowner by utilizing our CleanSpace™ encapsulation system. The CleanSpace™ encapsulation system features dimpled plastic drainage matting, TerraBlock™ floor insulation, and SilverGlo™ insulation on the walls. It is then finished off with a CleanSpace™ crawlspace liner. This ensures an insulated, clean crawlspace that keeps the entire home more comfortable and less prone to mold and moisture. 

This homeowner in Wilbraham, MA had issues with freezing pipes and keeping their home warm. They had an insulated, but not quite effective door leading from hatch steps to the outside into the basement that was letting the cold in. There was a foil facing but the door was made of wood and was starting to splinter and deteriorate.

We started by removing the old door and frame. Once we installed updated framing, we installed our insulated door with weather stripping and a locking knob. Outside air will no longer be able to get in, meaning a warmer basement in the winter, and less humidity in the summer.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, pipes will no longer freeze and the homeowner will be more comfortable.

This customer in Wilbraham, MA called us when he realized he needed new insulation in his basement. After a very detailed evaluation with our Home Comfort Specialist, they decided that using spray foam in the rim joist would be the best option.

This homeowner already had fiberglass batts in the rim joist. Fiberglass is a notoriously bad insulation. It's prone to falling down or sagging, letting air leak in, and being comfortable as bedding for pests such as rodents.

We immediately removed the fiberglass insulation from the rim joist. We then went back in with two part expanding spray foam, installed on the rim joist and the sill plate. This goes into every crack, gap, and joint to make sure that there are no air leaks. 

This homeowner originally called us hoping that we would be able to help him with insulating his new home. When we arrived at the home to go over his concerns and comfort level, he stated that he had an inadequate sump pump and did not know if we were able to take care of that. Of course, we told him YES, we do sump pumps! 

We helped this homeowner by installing one of our SuperSump™ sump pump systems. This system features a 1/3 hp cast iron pump which can discharge up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high. It even features a WaterWatch™ alarm system that will alert the homeowner if the pump were to fail. Now, this homeowner can rest easy knowing that their basement is adequately protected. 

This homeowner in Wilbraham, MA called us hoping that we would be able to replace their bulkhead door. It was several decades old, and desperately needed to be replaced. It was also rusting, and fairly unattractive. 

Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer. We were able to install a beautiful new bulkhead door. We first had to pour concrete, ensuring that it had a solid base of support. After the concrete was hardened and ready for the next step, we installed the bulkhead door. We caulked around the edges and installed flashing behind the door to ensure a tight fit.  Now, they have a beautiful bulkhead door!
