Before & After Photos

This customer called us out in regards to a problem he was having in his home. The problem was that this mobile home had a lot of ice damming in the winter. ice damming can severely damage your home! Ice dams occur after heavy snowfall when warm air in the attic causes the roof to warm and the snow to melt due to poor insulation. To fix this, we have to first remove all of the old fiberglass batting insulation that is not doing its job. We properly bag and dispose of those materials. Now its time to air seal. We air seal all accessible penetrations, end plates and top plates where air can leak from your home into your attic. This is done with our two part foam. Next, our TruSoft cellulose insulation is blown in the attic to get our optimum R-value of R60. With this we fill all of the gaps and odd shaped voids so that thermal bridging is avoided. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy solutions this happy customer can live comfortable without ice damming this winter!

This homeowner in Unionville, CT called us hoping that we would be able to take a look at his insulation. He was experiencing a lot of issues with rooms that were uneven temperatures. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, he noted that one issue in the home was the crawlspace. It was poorly insulated and unencapsulated, meaning that cold air was coming in from outside and traveling through the entire house. 

We were able to help this homeowner by utilizing our CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system - with a few modifications for the home itself.

We started by utilizing our two-part expanding spray foam to insulate around the base of the (now unused) chimney that is in the crawl space. Then, we got to work. We started by adding SilverGlo™ foam board insulation on the walls. SilverGlo™ has graphite infused into the foam, increasing its R-value by 24% over standard foam. Then, we added two-part expanding spray foam to the rim joist and over the sill plate until it met the SilverGlo™, forming a barrier. Then, we laid out dimpled drainage mat on the floor, creating airspace as well as a thermal break. Dimpled drainage mat also has the bonus of forcing any water that may occur under the mat to go to the lowest point of the crawl space. We then added TerraBlock™ floor insulation over top of that. After that, we installed our heavy duty CleanSpace™ encapsulation liner, sealing it to the walls and floors. 

Now, this homeowner's crawl space is insulated and encapsulated -- causing the home to have less drafts and cold floors. They are much more happy!

This homeowner in Unionville, CT reached out to us with a drafty, uncomfortable home. He believed that there was an issue with the attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and noted that the insulation in the attic was not adequate at all, and in some places the insulation was quite literally falling apart. This was particularly evident in the kneewalls in the main section of the house, which had very little insulation. 

Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services had the perfect solution for this customer! We were able to help them by re-insulating their attic. In the kneewall space, we first started by bagging and removing the batt insulation on the wall. We then vacuumed out all loose insulation. 

After that, we got to work insulating the kneewall. We installed blocks of SilverGlo™ foam insulation board between the ceiling joist bays. We then air sealed between these blocks. Since SilverGlo™ has a radiant barrier on both sides, it reflects roof heat out in the summer and house heat back in in the winter -- ensuring that the homeowner will be comfortable. They can already feel the difference in their home! 

This room over the garage is being renovated.  The homeowner wanted to be sure his home is properly insulated.  One of the treatments our team did in this room was to insulate the kneewall.  A kneewall is the triangular space under the sloped roof and behind the wall of the room.  We installed our Foamax polyisocyanurate foam board on the exterior walls.  Foamax provides superior insulation and it is flame retardant.  The homeowner can rest assured the knee walls in this room are properly insulated. 

This Home in Canton, CT was experiencing drafts and needed a Rim Joist insulation.
