Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Shrewsbury, MA reached out to us hoping that we would be able to help him with his insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to his home, he provided a full evaluation of the entire home, including the crawl space, which had insulation issues. In a crawl space, the “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. The joints and gaps between all the framing members allow for a lot of air leakage into the house. The rim joist is seldom insulated and never air sealed. Crawl space ceiling insulation, especially fiberglass batts, doesn’t stop the flow of cold air into the home. Results - cold floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms, cold lower level, higher heating and cooling bills and more condensation in the basement or crawl space in the summer.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the crawl space in order to seal and insulate it. Two part expanding spray foam is installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters the home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold crawl space surfaces.

This Lanesborough, MA homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to fix his wet basement. His home is over 200 years old and the sump system that was set-up was outdated and unreliable. Our Production Crew solved this problem by moving the sump pump to a better location in the basement. We installed a SuperSump® System with a sturdy liner, airtight lid, 1/3 hp cast iron pump which can discharge up to 2,200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high, and a stand to keep the pump out of silt and sediment. Our very happy customer now has a more reliable sump pump, less air leakage from the sump hole, a drier basement, less radon gas and odors, and a much safer and better looking installation!

This customer purchased a home built in 1860.  They gutted the entire home to do major renovations.  Our team came in to ensure the home was properly insulated.  Once the walls were down to the studs, we put up Insulweb and dense packed every wall with cellulose to make the home more comfortable and energy efficient.  

This bathroom fan was being vented directly into the attic.  All the warm humid air from the bathroom was going into the attic which can cause mold.  Our team went in and properly vented the moisture outside through the roof using our insulated duct work.  This homeowner no longer has to worry about mold issues in the attic.
