Fogarty's Home Services was contacted by this Gales Ferry, CT homeowner to come take a look at air flow issues in the home. We found that this home had old, dirty insulation in the attic that needed to be removed and replaced.  Attic insulation in your home can get pretty nasty. Over many years, it sits there collecting dirt, dust, pollen, bugs, rodent feces (from mice, squirrels, bats, etc.), bird droppings and nests of all kinds of undesirable things. It's possible that old insulation like this can be moved aside for a proper air sealing job that must be done prior to adding enough TruSoft™ blown cellulose insulation to today's standards - but we prefer to completely remove the old, nasty insulation from your home and start fresh. Fogarty's Home Services will conduct the unpleasant task of removing the damaged, soiled insulation in your attic. Batt insulation is bagged and then the attic is vacuumed to remove pieces, parts and dust. Loose fill insulation is vacuumed with a giant vacuum located outside with giant filter bags and a very long, fat hose. Then, we have a clean attic that is ready for proper air sealing and installation of new, fresh TruSoft™ cellulose insulation or one of our other Dr. Energy Saver strategies to make your home comfortable and energy efficient - just like we did in this happy customer's home. 

This homeowner in Baltic, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her extreme mold problem in her attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and noted that there was a large amount of insulation, but that it was ineffective. They had had someone come and put fiberglass insulation in over their existing blown-in insulation due to the issues that they were experiencing. 

We were able to help this homeowner. We had several solutions that we helped her with. One specific one was re-insulating the attic. We first removed all of the existing insulation -- both fiberglass batts and blown-in insulation. 

After that, we went in and air sealed using our Zypfoam™ one-part spray foam. We made sure that all cracks and gaps were sealed, and electrical components were covered with TiteShell™ covers and sealed as well. 

Finally, we went in and blew in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation using a long hose. TruSoft™ fills all gaps and odd-shaped voids, meaning that there is a consistent blanket of insulation. This means that the homeowner will have a comfortable home for years to come! 

This Homeowner called us out to their home to take a look at their attic. They had the old insulation removed and now needed new insulation installed. Our Building Science Specialist arrived and evaluated the attic and gave them the best options for insulating and air sealing their attic.

When the installers arrived they cleaned and vacuumed the attic to remove all dust and debris from the previously installed old inefficient insulation. Next they air sealed the many various points where air from your home leaks up into your attic and is lost. Then We Installed our Blown-in premium TruSoft cellulose insulation, which fills all gaps and odd shaped voids.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver this homeowner will now have lower fuel and electric bills. a more comfortable, less drafty home.
