Insulating an Attic in Southwick, MA

This homeowner reached out to us saying that she had high energy bills and was cold in her home. As a result, she wanted to have her attic re-insulated. Luckily, we had the perfect solution for this customer. 

 

In this solution, we first have to remove the old fiberglass batt insulation, as well as the plywood in the attic. Once the attic was cleaned, we started on air sealing the attic with Zypfoam one part spray foam. This seals all cracks and crevices in the attic floor. We then used a long hose attached to a machine that blows our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation into the attic. TruSoft™ cellulose is able to fill all gaps and odd-shaped voids, as it is blown in insulation.

 

Now, this homeowner will have a much more comfortable home!

Properly Insulating Attic in Middletown, CT

A customer in Middletown, CT called us in order to ensure that his attic was properly insulated. Our Home Comfort Specialist identified several places in this home that needed sealing and proper insulation. Our team used ZypFoam™ in order to properly seal the attic. We then used loosely blown TruSoft™ cellulose insulation on the attic floor and densely packed it into the exterior walls of the home. This ensures a more comfortable home. This customer will now have reduced energy loss year round! 

Eliminating Mold and Making a Home More Comfortable in Middletown, CT

This homeowner was referred to us by an existing customer who recently had work done and knew we were perfect for the job. The homeowner had a terrible problem with mold in her attic and asked us to send someone out to help.

Our Building Science Specialist was able to easily identify the problem as being a poorly vented out bath fan leading to the attic. The air coming from the bathroom was mostly warm air, hitting the cold air in the attic and condensing into water and resulting in mold. We completely removed all existing, moldy fiberglass insulation and then cleaned and prepped the area for treatment with our MoldX2™ Cleaner and Botanical. We then built a deck and dam and blew in  new TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation. Next we ducted the bath fan out through the gable end and outside, preventing future mold issues. We completed the job by installing a David Lewis™ attic pull-down stair hatch cover to air seal and insulate the entrance to the attic.

Reduced Cold Floors in East Granby, CT

The homeowner called Fogarty's Home Services concerned about the floors above the basement door being cold. We found that the existing door was old and drafty. We replaced the basement door with a steel-insulated basement door. Now the floors are warmer and the basement is more comfortable.

Updating Insulation and Eliminating Rodent Problem in East Granby, CT

This homeowner in East Granby, CT called us to their home to upgrade their insulation. We conducted our full Home Energy evaluation and noticed very old inefficient fiberglass insulation in the attic. We also noticed some rodents who made themselves a home up there! We knew we needed to remove and upgrade this insulation to help these homeowners!
 
First, we removed all the old inefficient fiberglass insulation. This is where the rodents were living. Now we can properly air seal all of the top plates with foam and get to our next step. The air sealing is an important step in sealing off any penetrations rodents were able to enter in the first place. Finally, we blow in our Trusoft Cellulose insulation, which covers and fills in all odd shaped voids and gaps. Trusoft Cellulose insulation will repel rodents and pests from coming back into the home.  Now thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this house has updated insulation and air sealing, and no more rodent issues!
