Eliminating Mold in a Crawlspace in Pittsfield, MA

This home owner in Pittsfield, Ma had us come out to see what we can do for the mold problem in his basement. When we went into the basement we realized that there was a huge crawlspace. These areas can be pretty nasty environments due to the high levels of humidity that can be in crawlspaces. Mold will grow at a relative humidity level of 70%. To stop the humidity from rising past this threshold we must encapsulate the entire area. First this we do is install our Silverglo on the walls. This stop the conductive temperatures from getting into the crawlspace. (heat/cold moving through a solid surface) Then we lay down our dimple mat drainage mat so if any moisture comes through the floor it will collect in the dimples and evaporate without rising the relative humidity. Next step is to lay down our Terra-block insulation board down for some much needed R-value. Next step is to install the 20mil Cleanspace vapor barrier making sure all seems are tapped for a good seal. Last thing to do is to spray the rim joist and tie it into the encapsulation for a complete seal. After we are done, this home will not have mold in the basement ever again!

Making a Bedroom More Comfortable in Pittsfield, MA

These homeowners in Pittsfield, MA called us because they had a master bedroom that was really uncomfortable. This was because the attic was not properly insulated. To fix this problem, we emptied out everything in the attic including old insulation, Then, we air sealed every penetration and top plate. We blew our Trusoft Cellulose to reach an R-value of 60 which is the recommendation from the Department of Energy in New England.

Now that Dr Energy Saver completed the work, these homeowners can sleep in comfort!

Replacing Drafty Basement Windows in Pittsfield, MA

This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA had old, leaky basement windows. Single pane glass windows with metal frames let lots of cold air leak into your home.

We removed those old windows and replaced them with our high efficiency double pane glass windows which let in light while still blocking most of the heat flow.

Thanks to Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowner now has beautiful basement windows to keep the home comfortable whether it's hot or cold.

Removing Insulation From an Attic In Pittsfield, MA

These homeowners in Pittsfield, MA called us out to help them make their bedroom cooler in the summer. To do this, we have to properly air seal and insulate this attic. Before we do this, we have to completely empty the attic so we can see every single top plate, end plate and penetration in the attic. This home had no air sealing and a layer of fiberglass bats and cellulose blown on top of it. First, we get our large vacuum and take out all of the loose blown cellulose. After that, we get our black contractor bags and fill them with the fiberglass bats and take them out of the home. Now that all of the insulation has been taken out of the attic, it's ready to be properly air sealed and insulated!

Making a Home More Efficient in Pittsfield, MA

This home owner in Pittsfield, MA called us out to his home to see what we could do to help save him money on his heating and cooling bills. When we got to the home our building science expert was on his inspection he noticed that the attic had barely any insulation! No wonder why he was spending so much on his bills!

To fix this we have to insulate the attic to stop the air that we pay for, from leaving the home. In this case it was a walk up attic so instead of insulating the attic floor we moved the thermal barrier to the attic ceiling. To do this we installed our Super Attic treatment. This treatment uses EPS foam board on the rafters making sure to air seal in between each piece of Silverglo EPS foam board. once we do this we go around the attic making sure every crack is air sealed to make sure this attic is air tight. 

Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions has come out and took care of this problem, this home owner will save a ton of money on heating and cooling his home!
