Insulated Basement with Foamax Boards in Lebanon, CT

Our team Insulated this basement with Foamax "polyiso" insulation boards

Preventing Frozen Pipes in Lebanon, CT

These homeowners in Lebanon, CT were worried about their pipes freezing. If the basement and crawlspace are not sealed and insulated, heat coming off of the furnace or boiler is lost through leaks as well as by conduction through block walls.

To start, we sealed the rim joist with spray foam and addressed any air leaks. We then secured our SilverGlo foam to the walls to prevent any more loss of heat. SilverGlo is infused with graphite and has a reflective radiant barrier to keep in heat in the winter. For the portion of the home that was crawlspace, we made sure to address the dirt floor under that old tarp which we removed. We put down a dimpled matting to keep an air break, then TerraBlock floor insulation, and finally our vapor barrier to keep any moisture from getting up into the home.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, these homeowners can have peace of mind by not having to worry about losing heat or having their pipes freeze when winter rolls in.

Dense Packing Roof Ridge in Brimfield, MA

Cathedral ceiling was dramatically uninsulated. Fogarty's Home Services removed the ridge vent and inserted a long fill tube to reach the bottom of the ceiling plane, and "dense packed" into each rafter bay filling all air spaces. After Completion of insulation We installed hip and ridge cap shingles and a Tribuilt Omni Ridge pro - ridge vent to finish the job. 

Ice Damming in Mansfield Center, CT

This homeowner was experiencing severe ice damming.  Ice damming occurs when heat from inside your attic warms the underside of your roof. This causes the snow and ice on the roof to melt. When the water hits the cold gutter and overhang, it refreezes and forms an ice dam and icicles. Ice damming causes a lot of damage to homes.  Our team went to work on this homeowner's attic.  We air sealed all the penetrations and tops of the walls with our 1-Part Expandable Polyeuranem Foam.  We blew our TruSoft Cellulose insulation to a Department of Energy recommendation of R-60, which is about 18 to 20 inches.  This attic is now properly air sealed and insulated.  The homeowner is very happy to no longer have to worry about ice dams!

Replacing a Door in Holland, MA

This homeowner in Holland, MA initially reached out to us about her bulkhead door being replaced. On top of that, she was concerned that her basement had mold in it. She also had a bad humidity problem, with the basement smelling very musty. She had lived in the home for almost 40 years, and she was finally ready to take action in her basement. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he did a thorough evaluation of the basement, and had a detailed discussion with the homeowner about her concerns. One of the things that she was looking to do was replace her old door leading to the bulkhead door with an insulated exterior door. 

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we replace the door with an insulated exterior door. The proper framing is installed, followed by a new door with a locking knob.
