This Homeowner in Windsor Locks, CT was putting away storage during the holidays and realized that the attic was not properly insulated. They were running ducts through the attic which is vented. The ducts were being exposed to extreme temperatures making it tougher to heat and cool the home. They also had a mold issue, which can be very dangerous!
The old, fiberglass insulation in their attic was ineffective and needed to be removed completely. We removed the insulation and the attic was vacuumed. Then, we spray our Mold-X2 to to kill and stop all mold spores from growing! Now, we had a clean work space, to start installing the foam insulation board. We got to work installing our SilverGlo graphite infused foam insulation board, across the roof rafter and Gable end. The foil on the foam board reflects heat out in summer, and keeps the warm air in during winter. The roof is still vented, and stays cold in winter to prevent ice damming. Now the attic is a conditioned space, and the ducts don't have to work so hard because the environment is at a maintained temperature. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, these homeowners will have a more comfortable home, lower energy bills and a storage space in the attic!
This home owner in Southampton, MA called us out because of his basement. The problem was that he had so much humidity that his store bought dehumidifier could not keep up. To remedy this issue we proposed to insulate his walls and spray his rim joist. The first step in doing this is to put out our 4x8 panels of our foamax poly-iso board. While doing this it is imperative to make sure we seal in between ever piece so no convective air can travel through the cracks. This treatment will help stop the humidity from wicking through the concrete. To finish this job off, we sprayed the rim joist with our 2-part closed cell spray foam. By spraying the rim joist, we will stop cold air and humidity from entering this basement and causing the bad smelling odors. Now that this project is complete, this home owner will not have to deal with the unpleasant smells in his basement any more!
This sealing and insulating priority are more important in the attic than anywhere else in the house. The SuperAttic system from Dr. Energy Saver overcomes the limitations of other attic energy upgrades, offering superior energy performance throughout the year as well as a neater, cleaner appearance and more usable attic space.
This homeowner in Southampton, MA called us due to very cold floors she had every winter. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to her home, and she noticed that this homeowner's fiberglass insulation was falling off of the subfloor, rendering it useless.
We were able to help this homeowner. We removed the moldy fiberglass insulation. Then, we insulated the rim joist of the home. After that, we insulated along the bottom of the floor joist with SilverGlo™ foam insulation board. This means the homeowner will have warmer floors, lower energy bills, and more comfortable rooms!
