Before & After Photos

Many homes have recessed lighting.  Can lights are a major source of air leakage from the conditioned space into the unconditioned attic space.  Most of these lights use incandescent or halogen bulbs which burn at 380 degrees.  Hot air rises faster so the air leaks faster.  We used our TiteShell can light covers which are safe to use around hot light fixtures.  Once the covers are fitted around the fixture they are air sealed with expanding foam. 

This homeowner in Salem, CT called us out to their home to insulate their basement due to having cold floors. This homeowner had no insulation in their basement at all. Poured concrete basement walls are a risk for potential mold in the summer when the hot humid air meets the cold concrete! This was negatively affecting their home creating cold floors, hard to heat, and higher heating and cooling bills to name a few.

We addressed this concern by insulating and air sealing the basement rim joist and walls. We first install our Foamax foam insulation boards along all the walls in the basement. They are secured with long fasteners. It has flame retardant properties. This results in warmer more comfortable, and helps with cold floors. Next, we spray our Spray Foam Insulation along the perimeter of the house covering the rim joist cavities and the sill plate. This stops all air leaks from outside entering the home through all cracks and gaps.

This homeowner in Salem, CT called us out to their home for a Home Energy Evaluation. During our Attic walkthrough portion of the visit we noticed they had old, nasty fiberglass insulation and mold in their attic! Mold in your attic is not normal, and it is for sure not healthy. It means there is another problem in your home that is causing relative humidity in your home to go above 75% so mold can grow on wood and insulation. We can treat the home and prevent more mold from growing, but can we eliminate the mold that is already there? YES we can!

We use our Mold-X Neutralizer which kills all mold spores and stops the future growth. We spray this in the attic and make sure it reached all nooks and crannies where mold may grow. the mold is still visible, but it is dead. Next we use out Mold-X botanical to clean the mold stains off of any surface. 

In the photo you can see the black mold, and old insulation, in the after photo you can see old insulation is removed, and we have started out air sealing and insulation process as well.

Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this home is now safe environment!

Crawl space sump pump installation. 

The homeowner's crawl space was in very bad condition and affected the overall home health with moisture from the dirt beneath the home. 

Fogarty's Home Services solution was to install a crawl space encapsulation system and sump pump filtration system in the homeowner's crawlspace to help make this home more comfortable.
