Before & After Photos

This landlord in Ludlow, MA called us hoping to help his tenant with their apartment. A roof leak had caused damaged insulation and mold in the apartment. He had replaced the roof, patching the leak, and it was now time to address the mold and insulation damage. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the apartment to evaluate the condition it was in. With that information in mind, we were able to make a plan with the landlord and their tenant. 

We began by tearing out the ceiling in the unit. Once the drywall and insulation had been taken out, it was time to tackle the mold issue. We removed the mold using our Mold-X2 Cleaner and Botanical treatments. Mold-X2 Cleaner effectively eliminates mold and mildew stains on contact. It is non-abrasive and non-flammable, and is sprayed on effected areas. Once Mold-X2 Cleaner is applied, mold disappears instantly, leaving wood surfaces looking nearly new. Mold-X2 Botanical, a plant-based disinfectant with a pleasant, temporary scent, is sprayed or fogged on surfaces, which prevents mold from growing back. After this, we went back in and insulated the apartment. We started by spraying the joists with our two-part expanding spray foam. Spray foam fills all cracks and gaps in the wood. After that, we finished the insulation portion by installing RockWool batts. After it was fully insulated, we worked with another contractor to add the sheetrock back. He then repainted it, and the apartment was comfortable and mold free! 

This homeowner had old wooden door in the basement that let air in. So we replaced it with a new thick steal so no air would get through.

This homeowner in East Hampton, CT called us with water issues in his home. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that there was an inadequate sump pump already in the home that needed to be replaced. 

In order to help this customer, we first had to remove the ineffective sump pump and the pipes that were attached to it. We then set to work replacing it. We replaced it with our TripleSafe™ sump pump. This sump pump features three pumps! The first pump is a 1/3 hp, cast iron Zoeller pump that can pump up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high. Should the first pump fail or not be able to keep up with the temporary heavy flow of water, a 1/2 hp AC back-up pump on a separate discharge line can pump 3900 gallons of water per hour. If the power fails, then a third, battery operated "UltraSump" pump automatically pumps up to 12,000 gallons of water out of the basement.

Now, this homeowner will have peace of mind that he has three pumps keeping his basement dry! 

This homeowner in Vernon, CT called us out to their home to take a look at a potential mold issue and to replace old inefficient fiberglass insulation. Mold can be very dangerous. It is harmful to have in your home, especially for pets, young children, and older people. The old inefficient fiberglass without air sealing was also a huge concern. 

We removed all of the old, fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials properly  Next, we fog our Mold-X treatment throughout the attic to neutralize any nooks and crannies that can be affected. Now we are ready for the next step. We seal up all top plates and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. We even made an insulated storage area as shown in the after photo. Now we are ready to blow our Truoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps.

Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more energy efficient!

This homeowner in Vernon, CT called us hoping to get opinions regarding his home. He was hoping to talk about both attic and basement insulation. In the attic, he had old fiberglass batts. These were moldy, dirty, and needed to be replaced. 

We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the old blown-in insulation using a large vacuum. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the atitc is air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner is now much more comfortable in his home!
