Before & After Photos

This Amston, CT homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services concerned about their attic space. They were using this space for storage, but it wasn't energy efficient. Their attic floor was allowing air from inside the house to leak into the attic where it was lost. For each cubic foot of air that leaks out, a cubic foot of air from the outside enters the bottom of the house, making the lower levels cold and drafty. Their attic was a hostile environment because of the increased cold in the winter and very uncomfortable heat in the summer in this space. To combat this issue, Fogarty's Home Services installed our SuperAttic™ system. We use SilverGlo™ EPS foam insulation board with graphite on the underside of the roof deck. The graphite gives it superior R-value and a foil face on both sides reflects heat out in summer and back in during winter. The roof is still vented. No harsh chemicals are sprayed in your home, like spray foam. The attic is now part of the conditioned space in the home, and ducts in the attic are no longer in a hostile environment. The attic is clean, less dusty and suitable for storage. We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!

This homeowner in Orange, MA called us in order to bulk up her basement's insulation. When we arrived in the home, we noticed that her basement's poured concrete walls were not insulated. This is fairly common -- but it can affect the temperature of the basement, making it colder than you would like it to be and, unfortunately, harder to heat. This meant that their energy bills were higher than they should be. 

The best way to protect and insulated poured concrete walls is to use insulation board. We installed our Foamax polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) foam insulation boards on all of the walls of this basement. They install right over the concrete! As a bonus, they are also flame retardant, so it can be exposed in the basement unlike other types of foam. This insulation board makes a noticeable difference in a space -- the basement feels warmer and more comfortable, and the home is easier to heat! 

This home owner in Coventry, CT had some concerns about her door leading into her basement. The door that was there now was broken and didn't lock so safety was a big concern. The other problem was that the old door was letting a lot of water come into the basement when it rained. When our team of certified installers got there. they took the old door out, caulked where the new door was going and put the new door on. Now this homeowner has a nice new door that locks and keeps the rain out of her basement!

This homeowner in Coventry, CT because they were ready to upgrade their insulation. Upon evaluating their attic we noticed mold! Mold can be very dangerous. It is harmful to have in your home, especially for pets, young children, and older people. 

We knew we needed to help this home. First, we removed all of the old, fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials properly  Next, we spray our Mold-X treatment throughout the attic to neutralize any nooks and crannies that can be affected. Then we use our Mold-X botanical cleaner to clean all stains off of effected services. Now we are ready for the next step.

We seal up all top plates and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. We even made an insulated storage area as shown in the after photo. Now we are ready to blow our TruSoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps.

Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more energy efficient!

This Homeowner in Coventry, CT called us out to their home for an estimate to update their attic insulation. When we arrived, we saw that they had old inefficient insulation.

Over many years insulation collects dirt, dust, pollen, bugs, and all kinds of undesirable things. We began by removing the old inefficient dirty old insulation. We bagged it all up and disposed of it properly off site. We then vacuumed the attic with a giant vacuum located outside with giant filter bags, and a very long, fat hose.

Now that the attic is clean, its ready for proper air sealing and installation of clean, new, fresh trusoft insulation or one of our other Dr. Energy Saver strategies to make your home more comfortable and energy efficient.
