Stop Air Leakage Around Chimney in Stafford Springs, CT
Our customer in Stafford Springs, CT called Fogarty's Home Services with concerns regarding drafts and the effectiveness of her attic insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived and performed a Free Home Energy Evaluation for her, he noticed open air space between the chimney and the lack of proper insulation. We prepared the chimney for insulation by sealing the chimney chase with metal flashing. We then installed fireproof panels to insulate the area around the chimney and prevent air leakage. The attic was then air sealed and insulated with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. This keeps the temperature-controlled air the customer is paying for INSIDE the home, lowering her energy bills and saving her money!

Insulating a Basement in Palmer, MA
This homeowner in Palmer, MA had reached out to us hoping that we would be able to insulate their basement for them. They wanted to finish their basement, but first needed the basement insulated so that it would be comfortable.
We first removed the fiberglass insulation from the rim joist in the basement. (The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house). We then replaced it with two-part expanding spray foam. This closed-cell spray foam expands to seal all gaps and cracks in the rim joist.
After that, we needed to insulate the walls. To do this, we used our Foamax™ foam insulation board. Foamax has flame retardant properties - meaning that they are able to leave it exposed while we craft the basement of their dreams!
Now, their basement is much more comfortable!
Cleaning Up a Crawlspace in Ware, MA
This homeowner in Ware, MA came to us with very high energy costs, going through an unbelievable amount of oil a month.
We seal along the walls and insulate with our SilverGlo foam to keep cold air from getting in. We put down matting to allow for some air flow followed by TerraBlock insulation and a vapor barrier to keep moisture and cold air from coming up through the dirt.
Heating this home will now be far cheaper thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions.
