This homeowner in Marlborough, Ma because they had old, inefficient insulation in their attic. Upon evaluating their attic we noticed old blown-in insulation as well as nasty fiberglass batts. We took a closer look and noticed Mold as well. Mold can be very dangerous. It is harmful to have in your home, especially for pets, young children, and older people.
We knew we needed to help this home. First, we removed all of the old, blown in- and fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials properly. We made sure to vacuum any debris that was left in the attic Next, we spray our Mold-X treatment throughout the attic to neutralize any nooks and crannies that can be affected. Then we use our Mold-X botanical cleaner to clean all stains off of effected services. Now we are ready for the next step.
We seal up all top plates and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. Now we are ready to blow our TruSoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps.
Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home has updated insulation, is safer, and more energy efficient!
This homeowner in Marlborough, MA called us out to their home to update their insulation and increase their energy efficiency. We noticed they had very small amount of insulation in the rim joists, and it was old, inefficient fiberglass. Along the rim joists around the perimeter of the home in the basement, a lot of air is able to escape out of and enter the home. Since the cold, concrete walls of the basement are buried in the ground they tend to be about 17° cooler than than your home should be. In the summer this allows warm, humid air into your basement, hitting the cold concrete walls. This will cause condensation, supporting mold. Since they only had a small amount of old insulation, there was barley anything stopping these concerns.
We got right to the home, prepped and protected the customers belongings and got to work. First,we install our Foamax insulation boards along the concrete walls. Now, we install our spray foam insulation around the perimeter of the home on the rim joist. Since it expands, it fills in all gaps, cracks and joints air was able to leak into the home before.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver, these homeowners are more comfortable, happy, and more energy efficient in their homes!
This homeowner in Mansfield, CT called us out to their home for a Home energy evaluation because their home was drafty, they had cold floors, and high energy bills. We noticed along the rim joists around the perimeter of the home in the basement a lot of air is able to escape. The cold concrete walls of the basement are buried in the ground; they tend to be 17° cooler than your home should be. We also found moldy inefficient insulation in the basement!
This homeowner in Mansfield, CT called us out to their home for a Home Energy Evaluation, because their home was drafty, they had cold floors and high energy bills. We noticed there was old dirty, and inefficient fiberglass Insulation in the attic. We also noticed there was air leaks at the top of the home because the attic was poorly insulated. This homeowner had can lights where the lights are installed into the ceiling and air can leak out.
We took, removed and disposed of the old ineffective insulation, we bagged it up and vacuumed the attic. Now that the attics clean, we properly air sealed it. We sealed around holes, gaps and joints between drywall and framing at the top of walls, around pipes, wires, and duct work. We installed can light covers, fitted around wires and fixture struts and air sealed tight with expanding foam. The covers protect the home from fire hazards from hot bulbs and fixtures. We then installed our blown- in Trusoft Cellulose insulation. This will fill in all odd-shaped gaps and voids in the attic!
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver this home is more comfortable and energy efficient!
