Attic Insulation With SilverGlo foam boards in Bechlortown, MA

This homeowner called us to his home for a basement and crawlspace evaluation. We noticed the vented crawlspace had insulation falling. This can be caused by the vents that in the winter season let cold air into the home, which causes the insulation to sag away from the sub floor and cold air then gets above it. In the summer, vents let warm humid air in, which is cooled by the subterranean crawl space which causes relative humidity to go way up! Condensation can form all over the crawlspace surfaces, supporting mold!

We removed and properly disposed the damaged and moldy insulation. We insulated the walls with Silverglo foam boards. We then began the encapsulation process installed a dimpled plastic drainage matting across the floor to create a airspace and thermal break, and terrablock floor insulation is installed over it. We then installed an encapsulation liner over permanently across the floor and sealed it with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor. Cleanspace features ultrafresh anti- microbial ingredients in the product. We then added spray foam insulation to the walls and rim joist!

This homeowner in Belchertown, MA called us with a mold issue. He was hoping that we would be able to identify the mold source and prevent it from coming back. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, he noted that the basement had insufficient insulation - there was fiberglass insulation installed that was falling off of the ceiling due to the moisture content.

Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer with the home. After the removal of the fiberglass batts was completed, we went in and applied two-part closed cell spray foam to the rim joist. This spray foam gets into all the cracks and crevices in the rim joist, sealing it and insulating the basement.

Now, this homeowner will have lower energy bills and a more comfortable home! 

This homeowner in Ellington, CT called us out to their home to take a look as some problems that have been experiencing. The problem was their kitchen, their kitchen was very cold and drafty and they could not figure out why. They also had extremely high energy bills due to the amount of heat they were losing. We went to the home to perform a Full Home energy Evaluation to figure out why they were having this issue. We knew we needed to help these customers become more comfortable in a room of their home that they spend a lot of time in. While conducting the Energy Evaluation we noticed that in their basement, directly under their kitchen the walls were full of fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass insulation is soft and fluffy, and allows a great deal of cold air to travel through. Because of this it does not make for a great insulation choice. Air was seeping through this fiberglass and up into this homeowners kitchen, creating a cold and drafty living space.  We knew exactly what we had to do to make these homeowners more comfortable, and energy efficient in their home.

The first thing we need to do in this homeowners basement was the nasty task of removing all of the old, fiberglass insulation. We properly bag up and dispose of this insulation and bring it off site. Next, we install our Polyisocyanurate foam insulation board on the basement walls. This isn’t just an ordinary foam board- Polyisocyanurate foam has the flame retardant properties to satisfy building codes to leave it exposed in the basement. It also has a foil facing to reflect heat so that the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. We make sure these boards are tightly secured with Dr. Energy Savers proprietary Foam-Tite Fasteners. This will drastically reduce this customers energy bills, and the cold, drafty kitchen.

This customer in Ellington, CT called us out because of a concern they were having in their home. Their concern was that they had very old, ineffective fiberglass insulation in the attic. Fiberglass insulation is super fluffy, and is not able to properly insulate a home on its own. Due to this, this home was way colder than it should be this winter. This was caused by the lack of proper insulation. Without proper insulation air can leak into your attic and out of your home, making it difficult and costly to keep a home warm.

To fix this, we use our SuperPlatform treatment. First we need to remove the existing insulation.  Our installers remove all of the old insulation, bag it up, and properly dispose of the materials. Since this home contains an HVAC system in their attic we have make sure there is a proper walkway, or catwalk in the attic. This makes it so that service can be done correctly and safely in a space where there are mechanics.  Next, we lay our 4" SilverGlo foam board across the wooded walkway. This will increase the insulation value by 24%. We want to make sure that none of the blown in insulation we are installing will get on to our new walkway. Next, we have to install plywood over the foam board held in place by long screws and washers. Following this step, we dense pack TruSoft cellulose insulation into any space beneath the catwalk that is not filled.
