Before & After Photos

This East Longmeadow, MA customer reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to have a part of her basement finished for additional living space in her home. Before we can finish walls in a basement, we must properly insulate them. Poured concrete basement walls are are perpetually cold - about 17°F cooler than we like the interior of our homes to be. The dense concrete has a lot of mass and heat from the basement constantly flows into and through the wall by conduction and they can never be heated up.  Fogarty's Home Services fixed this problem by installing our Foamax™ insulation board on the basement walls. The Foamax™ polyiso board has a foil facing to reflect heat so the insulation isn't doing all the work by itself. Now our happy homeowner will have a warmer, more comfortable basement, warmer floors above the basement, less condensation in the summertime, and lower energy bills. In addition, her walls are now prepped for basement finishing.

This homeowner in East Longmeadow, MA approached us at a home show hoping we would be able to help him with his home. He had been looking for the right company to handle his basement water issues. He wanted to have a sump pump and a perimeter drainage system installed, as well as possibly finish his basement at a later date.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We installed a SuperSump® sump pump system into the basement. It features a sturdy liner, airtight lid, 1/3 hp cast iron pump which can discharge up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high, and a stand to keep the pump out of silt and sediment. A WaterWatch® Alarm System alerts the homeowner to pump failure before the basement floor gets wet. We also installed a perimeter drainage system that connects to the pump. The homeowner is very excited to have a new waterproofing system for his home! 

This homeowner in East Longmeadow, MA called us after ice damming caused damage in her home. She wanted to replace her insulation so that the ice damming was prevented and she would stop having leaking water.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the fiberglass batts, putting them into bags and bringing them out of the house. 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 attic was 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 is now much more comfortable in her home!
