This homeowner in Enfield, CT called us out to their home to update the insulation in the home they just moved into. We noticed they had no insulation in their basement! Along the rim joists around the perimeter of the home in the basement, a lot of air is able to escape out of and enter the home. Since the cold, concrete walls of the basement are buried in the ground they tend to be about 17° cooler than than your home should be. In the summer this allows warm, humid air into your basement, hitting the cold concrete walls. This will cause condensation, supporting mold, which can be dangerous!
We knew we had to help this homeowner! First we prep the home and protect any personal belongs from during our work! Next, we get right to it! We install our spray foam insulation along the perimeter of the home on the rim joist. Spray foam expands to fill all cracks and joints where air was previously able to escape or enter the home!

These Homeowners in Enfield, CT called us to their home because of drafty rooms. During our energy evaluation, we noticed that the insulation in their attic was old and inefficient. We also noticed many air leaks.
First we removed all of the old fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials. We then vacuumed the attic and cleaned up any loose pieces of old materials. Next 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. This creates a thermal barrier to the attic ceiling. Once we do this we go around the attic making sure every crack is air sealed to make sure the attic is air tight.

This Homeowner in Enfield, CT called us out to their home to increase the Energy Efficiency in their home. We did a full home energy evaluation. We noticed air penetrations around the rim joist or perimeter of the floor framing system.
Like most other homes, the rim joist was not insulated. It was letting in cold and dry air in the winter and hot humid air in during the summer. Which in results causes cold floors and drafty uncomfortable rooms. It also causes more condensation in the basement in the winter, and higher heating bills.
We sprayed the Rim Joist with our two part spray foam. This seals up all the gaps and cracks so air will not be able to enter the home.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home will be far more comfortable!
This homeowner called us baffled. She couldn't figure out why despite having newer windows and doors and a new(ish) roof, she could not keep the temperature comfortable in her home.
Upon evaluation, our Building Science Specialist was able to immediately determine that the home was not properly insulated or air sealed. This home's attic and basement were in need of treatments to make this home comfortable and energy efficient.
We removed and disposed of all existing, old batt insulation and prepped for new insulation in roof and knee walls, including air sealing. We installed a Super KneeWall™ System with SilverGlo™ and dense packed with TruSoft™ Cellulose. We then treated the basement by air sealing the Rim Joists with Closed Cell Spray Foam and Installing a new, Custom Exterior Door at the bottom of the hatch stairs. The basement improvements will reduce problematic cold floors and issues with dryness, humidity and allergens. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"
This homeowner in Enfield, CT called in looking to insulate their attic, the home was not energy efficient and they were happy to be able to finally address it. The air that she was paying to heat and cool was escaping through her improperly air-sealed attic.
We first removed the old insulation and debris (including a deceased bat!) from the attic. With the space cleaned up, we air-sealed every space where air could leak from the home up into the attic. Lastly, we insulated with our blown-in TruSoft cellulose.
With the help of Fogarty's Home Services, this homeowner is now saving money and staying comfortable in her home.
