Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Richmond, MA was having issues with moisture in their home. Our free energy evaluation revealed that one of the culprits was the old, inefficient door leading to the basement from the outside. These kinds of doors let in cold air during the winter, and humid air in the summer, which condenses upon reaching the cooler air of the basement and crawlspace and can cause mold.

The old door was removed and to better accommodate the new door, we installed new framing. Once that framing was up, we put in the new door equipped with weather stripping and a secure lock. 

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this door is keeping the cold and moisture from outside away from this basement and keeping this home safe and comfortable.

This homeowner in Richmond, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her crawl space. The insulation in her crawl space was starting to fall down. Luckily, she had previously worked with us on prior projects and knew that we would be able to help her.

We were able to help this homeowner by utilizing our CleanSpace™ encapsulation system. We insulated the crawl space walls using SilverGlo™ foam insulation. For the floor, we added a dimpled drainage mat to create a thermal break. We then installed TerraBlock™ floor insulation on top of that. Then, we installed a CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner over that insulation. We fastened it into both the walls and floor to create a permanent solution for this crawl space. Now, this homeowner will experience less drafts and a much more comfortable home! 

The owner of this commercial space was experiencing loud hallway noise outside of his office.  Our team installed a cellulose insulweb treatment dense packing the walls to create a sound barrier and eliminate noise.  After completing this treatment, the owner noticed an instant noise reduction as a result of our soundproofing treatment. 

This homeowner called us because he purchased a home near the water and wanted to re-do the basement. The homeowner wanted to create a moisture barrier in the basement before continuing with the total basement finishing project.

Our Building Science Specialist carefully evaluated the basement and concluded that the best option was to air seal and insulate the rim joist with closed-cell, Spray Foam Insulation. We offered a simple and affordable solution to effectively solve the problem for the long term. We fix uncomfortable homes!

This homeowner in West Springfield, MA called us out to their home to see what could be done for the prevention of their ice damming issues they had been experiencing. We conducted our Full Home Energy Evaluation and noticed that their attic had old, nasty fiberglass insulation. Since fiberglass insulation is light and fluffy it allows air to travel through it, not making as the best insulator. We knew that we needed to remove and replace this insulation with more efficient material.

For this specific attic, we needed to create an insulation catwalk so that the HVAC system was still reachable. We install our expanded polystyrene SilverGlo foam board insulation across the ceiling joists. SilverGlo insulation boards are infused with graphite, increasing the insulation value by 24%. WE secure the SillverGlo with 5” screws and 3” washers. Dams made of Oriented Strand board are installed to keep insulation off catwalk. These Oriented Strand boards are two times stronger than plywood! After this, TruSoft cellulose insulation is blown into attic, also covering any sace beneath the catwalk is filled. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, the ice dams in this home will be drastically reduced due to new insulation and air sealage of the attic!
