This homeowner in Springfield, MA called us initially to talk about his attic insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he asked if there were any other comfort issues they were having. They identified that they were thinking about getting basement insulation as well. The issues they were having with mold and rodents would be helped by basement insulation, and they though that it could improve their home comfort as well.
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!
Old moldy insulation was removed in a homeowner's basement and replaced with Foamax insulation boards on the walls and Thermal Dry Plank Flooring. This basement insulation and installation helped with making the basement moisture-resistant and preventive for future mold growth and more energy efficient.
This homeowner contacted us to make her newly purchased 1929 home more comfortable. Our team insulated the rim joist in the basement to reduce heat loss and the infiltration of cold air. The rim joist in most homes is seldom insulated and never air sealed. We used our two part expanding spray foam to seal all air leaks and insulate this important area of her home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7 and it expands, sealing all cracks and gaps.

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.
