Air Seal & Insulate Garage Ceiling in Turners Falls, MA

This homeowner called Fogarty's Home Services to help make the room above her garage more comfortable. She was experiencing very hot temperatures in the summer and extreme cold temperatures in the winter. Her garage isn't heated, but the finished rooms above the garage is, so the garage ceiling needed be insulated. Fogarty's Home Services drilled holes are into the rim joist (from the outer edge of the ceiling/floor framing) from the outside Then, we inserted a very long pipe into the joist bays all the way to the other side. Lastly, we air sealed and insulated the garage ceiling with TruSoft™ insulation. This happy homeowner will now feel the results of warmer floors above the garage, more comfortable room temperatures, quieter floors in the room upstairs without a hollow sound, and lower heating and air conditioning bills. 

 

Installing a New Bilco

This home owner in Leverett, MA had an issue with here bilco door leading to her basement. It was very old, rusted, and even had some holes in it. It not only was letting in more air than normal but also could be letting in insects and rodents. So the only thing to do was to replace it. After putting the new  door on, we re-concreted the space for a nice clean look. Now this home owner doesn't have to worry about that old bilco door anymore!

Increasing the Insulation Value Under a Home in Leverett, MA

This new homeowner in Leverett, MA wanted to make sure her home was energy efficient and ready for winter before moving in. There was a thin, brittle foam board on the underside of the home which clearly would not hold up over time or have as much insulation value as needed.

We took out the old foam boards and replaced them with our 4-inch SilverGlo foam board insulation held into place with special long screws. SilverGlo has a radiant barrier face to ensure the insulation isn't doing all the work on its own. Any seams were sealed with foam, and in this case, we also sprayed load bearing beams set below the foam boards to stop conduction to and from the home.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowner will have a home that will brave the winter comfortably.

Preventing Frozen Pipes in Lebanon, CT

These homeowners in Lebanon, CT were worried about their pipes freezing. If the basement and crawlspace are not sealed and insulated, heat coming off of the furnace or boiler is lost through leaks as well as by conduction through block walls.

To start, we sealed the rim joist with spray foam and addressed any air leaks. We then secured our SilverGlo foam to the walls to prevent any more loss of heat. SilverGlo is infused with graphite and has a reflective radiant barrier to keep in heat in the winter. For the portion of the home that was crawlspace, we made sure to address the dirt floor under that old tarp which we removed. We put down a dimpled matting to keep an air break, then TerraBlock floor insulation, and finally our vapor barrier to keep any moisture from getting up into the home.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, these homeowners can have peace of mind by not having to worry about losing heat or having their pipes freeze when winter rolls in.
