Before & After Photos

A homeowner called us from Charlton, MA to request a full Home Energy Evaluation. The problem they were having was inconsistent temperatures throughout their house. It would be cold in one room and hot in another. This specific style home has a sloped roof, with knee-walls in the attic that are very difficult to keep warm or cold depending on the season. This knee wall was directly above a bedroom. The lack of any insulation was making it extremely hard to cool and heat the upper level of their home, especially in the bedrooms.

We used our Super Kneewall Treatment to fix this problem. First, we use our 4" SilverGlo insulation boards to block off air from getting through the ceiling joists and bays. We sprayed our one part foam to seal the edges and made sure no air can travel through the cracks. Then, we installed our SilverGlo foam boards under the rafters up to the knee-wall and sealed with one part foam. Next, we had to dense pack the roof slopes with our TruSoft cellulose insulation to stop air flow as well as insulate this non insulated attic. Our last step was to blow our TruSoft cellulose insulation above the flat ceiling.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, these homeowners can now live more comfortably in their home with more consistent temperatures all year long!

This basement in Canterbury, CT had very poor insulation on the basement rim Joists. We reinsulated it with our special spray foam to keep the floors warmer.

These homeowners called us after receiving an energy audit. The Audit turned up that they needed upgraded insulation to make the home more efficient. This home had been causing them nothing but headaches with drafty and inconsistently heated rooms, high energy bills and terrible ice dams. It was time to make a call to the DR!

We sent one of our Building Science Specialists out to meet with these homeowners and discuss a solution that would help put their minds at ease and save them money. We would start by removing and disposing all old, dirty insulation and prepping for the installation of fresh, new insulation. Next we air seal all penetrations with expanding polyurethane foam and treat the affected areas with MoldX2™ Cleaner and Botanical. Next we insulate the attic floor with TruSoft™ blown-in Cellulose and also air seal and insulate the Scuttle Cover with SilverGlo™ Insulation Board. Next we move to the basement where we air seal and insulate the rim joist with Closed-Cell Spray Foam. The last step is to insulate the cantilevered floor between stories by dense packing TruSoft™ Cellulose in through the soffits. This home is now completely "Buttoned-Up" and ready to provide energy efficiency at it's best, reduce ice dams and save lots of money on future energy bills!
