Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA called us saying that her basement had water in it, as well as mold and musty odors. She had a sump pump, but it was not working effectively.

In order to help this customer, we first had to remove the ineffective sump pump and the pipes that were attached to it. We then set to work replacing it. We replaced it with our TripleSafe™ sump pump. This sump pump features three pumps! The first pump is a 1/3 hp, cast iron Zoeller pump that can pump up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high. Should the first pump fail or not be able to keep up with the temporary heavy flow of water, a 1/2 hp AC back-up pump on a separate discharge line can pump 3900 gallons of water per hour. If the power fails, then a third, battery operated "UltraSump" pump automatically pumps up to 12,000 gallons of water out of the basement.

Now, this homeowner will have peace of mind that she has three pumps keeping her basement dry! 

This homeowner in Otis, MA needed a new window in order to ensure that he would have a secondary way to get out of his basement in case of emergency. Unfortunately, there was not a pre-existing window in the basement, as is often the case. Additionally, there was not a straightforward spot to put the window due to the terrain around the home.

Luckily, Fogarty's was able to identify a spot that the window would be able to go into. We then marked off where the mini-excavator should remove dirt, rocks, and other material from around the space. We then measured out and marked where the window would ideally go. We found that putting the window in the closet would be the best spot, and marked that part of the drywall and tore it out.  On the outside, we prepped and cut the foundation so that it would fit the egress window. We then framed the window and installed it. Once we finished that, we were able to install the window well around it. The homeowner and his family loved the window, and their basement will stay safe and comfortable for years to come! 

This customer contacted Fogarty's Home Services for help with her unfinished basement. She wanted to have our team create a nice, well-insulated "man cave" for her husband. The house had been recently purchased, and our customer wanted to ensure that her husband had a finished space to call his own. The insulation in the basement was in need of replacement. The walls themselves were not insulated at all, and were simply poured concrete. This made the basement very cold in the winter. In the summer, the warm and humid air created condensation on the walls, which caused mold in some of the insulation.

In order to ensure that the entire basement was sealed and protected, we installed Foamax™ boards around the entirety of the basement. These boards are installed with Dr. Energy Saver's proprietary Foam-Tite fasteners. We also sealed the rim joist with spray foam insulation.   The end result is lower energy bills and a warm, comfortable basement for the customer that is ready for transformation into that 'man cave'.
