Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Shrewsbury, MA reached out to us hoping that we would be able to help him with his insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to his home, he provided a full evaluation of the entire home, including the crawl space, which had insulation issues. In a crawl space, the “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. The joints and gaps between all the framing members allow for a lot of air leakage into the house. The rim joist is seldom insulated and never air sealed. Crawl space ceiling insulation, especially fiberglass batts, doesn’t stop the flow of cold air into the home. Results - cold floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms, cold lower level, higher heating and cooling bills and more condensation in the basement or crawl space in the summer.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the crawl space in order to seal and insulate it. Two part expanding spray foam is installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters the home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold crawl space surfaces.

This homeowner in Shrewsbury, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. He wanted to talk about getting his attic insulated and air sealed. He was in the process of replacing his air system with a heat pump. He was looking to replace his attic insulation at around the same time, especially as he had a tight work schedule. He was looking forward to making his home more 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 a more energy efficient home! 

This homeowner in Grafton, MA reached out to us initially because he had found that there was black mold growing on his basement walls. There was mold in the fiberglass insulation on the walls as well as growing on the wood framing around the insulation. This was a new problem for him -- he had been in the home for 4 years without an issue. Since he had a family, he needed to keep the home insulated, but remove the possibility of mold growing back. 

We were able to help this customer. We utilized our Foamax polyisocyanurate board alongside two-part spray foam to insulate the basement. Before we were able to utilize these, however, we had to remove the mold and the old insulation. Once the mold was removed, we were able to go in and begin to insulate. The Foamax polyiso board was able to fasten directly over the existing walls. Now, this homeowner is happy to have his home back to normal!
