This homeowner in Holyoke, MA initially called us hoping to get help with her garage insulation. However, she was interested in having her entire home evaluated, as she had a few issues that she wanted to hear opinions on. During the evaluation, our Home Comfort Specialist asked if she had any other concerns in her home outside of the garage insulation. She said that the home, which she had moved into a few years prior, had window wells she wanted replaced. She said that they were particularly old, and were leaking water into the basement during rainstorms.
We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace her old, leaking window wells with brand new SunHouse™ window enclosures. SunHouse™ features a sturdy, matching clear cover, which keeps out rain and leaves. The base is a bright color, ensuring that more natural light is reflected into the basement. And the bottom leans that there is no mud splashing on the windows, or weeds growing inside the enclosure! The homeowner was very happy, and is looking forward to not having leaking window wells.
This homeowner in Holyoke, MA called us looking for blown-in insulation in her attic. She wanted to make her home more comfortable and energy efficient.
We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the old blown-in insulation using a large vacuum. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the atitc is air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner now can enjoy lower energy bills and brand new insulation!
This homeowner in Holyoke, MA called us about getting her attic insulation. While discussing that over the phone, she mentioned she would be interested in basement insulation as well. She was hoping that she would be able to make her home more energy efficient and comfortable.
We had the perfect solution for this customer! We utilized two-part expanding spray foam. We insulated the rim joist (the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). We spray this foam in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Insulating the rim joist in this way seals all air leaks -- filling in the cracks and gaps that are present there. This prevents outside air from getting into the home. The homeowner is now very happy, and he is much more comfortable in his home!
