Before & After Photos

This homeowner called us out to their home because they have been experiencing very cold floors and rooms in their home. They added an addition to their home some years back, and underneath the addition had old, nasty fiberglass insulation.  Even though there is fiberglass, it sags down away from the floor and outside air is able to leak inside. This is not an appropriate amount or type of insulation to keep your home warm. 

To fix this we know that we need to remove all of the old, nasty fiberglass insulation. Next, we install Dr. Energy Savers patented SilverGlo foam insulation boards across the bottom of the floor. WE keep the SilverGlo in place with screws and washers. SilverGlo insulation boards are infused with graphite which increases the insulation value. It also has a radiant barrier to reflect heat so the insulation doesn't have to do the work on its own. This results in a much warmer home.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this homeowner can now live comfortably in their home!

This homeowner in Greenfield, MA called us with concerns about his energy bills. He believed that the insufficient basement insulation was part of the reason why his energy bills were high. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to confirm this. 

We began by removing the old, inefficient fiberglass insulation from the rim joist. The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. Once that area had the fiberglass removed and was prepped, we sprayed our two part expanding spray foam into the rim joist. This spray foam fills every crack and crevice. This is a much more energy efficient solution. Now, he will be able to have a temperature controlled, warm basement for years to come, without worry about the spray foam molding, falling apart, or being a home for pests. 

This homeowner in Greenfield, MA called us with concerns about the cost of his energy bills. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home, he noted that the homeowner had insufficient attic and basement insulation. He specifically focused on the insufficient fiberglass insulation in the rim joist. The “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. 

Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer by removing the old insulation and replacing it with spray foam. We first removed all of the fiberglass, bagging it and taking it to our dumpster. We then re-insulated using two-part expanding spray foam. This spray foam expands and seals all cracks, air leaks, and crevices to ensure the most effective insulation value.
