Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Mansfield, CT called us out to their home for a Home energy evaluation because their home was drafty, they had cold floors, and high energy bills. We noticed along the rim joists around the perimeter of the home in the basement a lot of air is able to escape. The cold concrete walls of the basement are buried in the ground; they tend to be 17° cooler than your home should be. We also found moldy inefficient insulation in the basement!

This homeowner in Mansfield, CT called us out to their home for a Home Energy Evaluation, because their home was drafty, they had cold floors and high energy bills. We noticed there was old dirty, and inefficient fiberglass Insulation in the attic. We also noticed there was air leaks at the top of the home because the attic was poorly insulated. This homeowner had can lights where the lights are installed into the ceiling and air can leak out.

 We took, removed and disposed of the old ineffective insulation, we bagged it up and vacuumed the attic. Now that the attics clean, we properly air sealed it. We sealed around holes, gaps and joints between drywall and framing at the top of walls, around pipes, wires, and duct work. We installed can light covers, fitted around wires and fixture struts and air sealed tight with expanding foam. The covers protect the home from fire hazards from hot bulbs and fixtures. We then installed our blown- in Trusoft Cellulose insulation. This will fill in all odd-shaped gaps and voids in the attic!

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver this home is more comfortable and energy efficient!

When our Newington, CT customer called Fogarty's Home Services to report cold temperatures and drafts in her home, we were happy to help. One of the solutions we provided our to our customer was air sealing and insulating the interior wall that is exposed to the hot & cold hostile temperatures in her attic. Fogarty's Home Services installed SilverGlo™, an expanded polystyrene foam insulation board with graphite infused into the foam, on that interior wall. This gives it a 24% higher insulation value per inch than standard EPS foam. It also has a shiny radiant barrier to reflect heat as well, so the insulation isn't doing all the work itself. Now our happy customer will feel the results - more comfortable rooms that are easier to heat and cool, and lower energy bills. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"

This Lanesborough, MA homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to fix his wet basement. His home is over 200 years old and the sump system that was set-up was outdated and unreliable. Our Production Crew solved this problem by moving the sump pump to a better location in the basement. We installed a SuperSump® System with a sturdy liner, airtight lid, 1/3 hp cast iron pump which can discharge up to 2,200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high, and a stand to keep the pump out of silt and sediment. Our very happy customer now has a more reliable sump pump, less air leakage from the sump hole, a drier basement, less radon gas and odors, and a much safer and better looking installation!
