Old moldy insulation was removed in a homeowner's basement and replaced with Foamax insulation boards on the walls and Thermal Dry Plank Flooring. This basement insulation and installation helped with making the basement moisture-resistant and preventive for future mold growth and more energy efficient.
This home owner in Longmeadow, MA called us out to her home because of the ice damming problem that she had last year. This was occurring because the heat that she was paying for escaped into the attic and warmed up the roof deck. Now that the roof deck is warm. the snow starts melt and run down the roof until it hits the gutter line and refreezes. This is how ice dams are created.
To stop this from happening we have to properly air seal and insulate the attic space. To do this first we remove all the old fiberglass insulation. Then we vacuum out the attic and begin to airseal every penetration so no air can escape into the attic. Then we blow our Trusoft cellulose insulation to and R-value of R-60.
Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions has come and helped this home, this home owner will not have to worry about ice damming ever again!
This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA was experiencing a lot of air leakage in their attic. This was creating cold drafty rooms as well as heat loss in the winter. The heat loss created an increase in their energy bills attempting to heat the home. Due to this, customers were uncomfortable in their home year round. By air sealing all of the gaps with our spray foam insulation and blowing in Dr. Energy Savers TruSoft cellulose insulation, it created a more comfortable, healthy environment for the entire home and family. Our TruSoft cellulose insulation is treated with natural borate compounds. By doing this we have created a higher R-value in the space as well as decreasing the energy costs.

This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. It was having a consistent water problem that was not being helped by their current mitigation system. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that the biggest issue they were having with actual water in the home was because it was coming in through their open window wells. Open metal window wells let leaves and debris collect in them, blocking light to the basement. Rain gets in, and water from over flooding gutters cascades into the window wells. Weeds grow in the window wells since they have no bottom, and mud splashes up against the window glass. And let’s face it - they are ugly! Results - Constant maintenance, far less natural light to the basement, and they are ugly!
We had the perfect solution for this customer -- the SunHouse™ Basement Window Enclosure! The window enclosure is a bright color and has a bottom to reflect much more light into the basement. The bottom prevents weeds from growing and mud doesn’t splash against the windows. SunHouses™ have a sturdy matching clear cover to keep rain and leaves out, and it keeps the wind from blowing against the windows.
This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with water that was in his basement. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he identified multiple things in addition to the water that the homeowner stated they wanted help fixing. One of these things was the fact that the basement did not have any insulation in it.
We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the basement in order to seal and insulate it. The "rim joist" is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home. Two part expanding spray foam is installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters the home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold basement surfaces.
