When our Newington, CT customer called Fogarty's Home Services to report cold temperatures and drafts in her home, we were happy to help. One of the solutions we provided our to our customer was air sealing and insulating the interior wall that is exposed to the hot & cold hostile temperatures in her attic. Fogarty's Home Services installed SilverGlo™, an expanded polystyrene foam insulation board with graphite infused into the foam, on that interior wall. This gives it a 24% higher insulation value per inch than standard EPS foam. It also has a shiny radiant barrier to reflect heat as well, so the insulation isn't doing all the work itself. Now our happy customer will feel the results - more comfortable rooms that are easier to heat and cool, and lower energy bills. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"
Attic was insulated with SilverGlo foam board
This Lanesborough, MA homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to fix his wet basement. His home is over 200 years old and the sump system that was set-up was outdated and unreliable. Our Production Crew solved this problem by moving the sump pump to a better location in the basement. We installed a SuperSump® System with a sturdy liner, airtight lid, 1/3 hp cast iron pump which can discharge up to 2,200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high, and a stand to keep the pump out of silt and sediment. Our very happy customer now has a more reliable sump pump, less air leakage from the sump hole, a drier basement, less radon gas and odors, and a much safer and better looking installation!

This homeowner in East Chatham, NY called us hoping that she would be able to fix the drafts in her house before her baby was born a few months later. Our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home and proposed that crawl space encapsulation would be a fix to the issues they were having.
The process first starts with clearing out any insulation or other clutter, so they have a clean workspace. After that, the rim joist is insulated with two part expanding spray foam, and walls are insulated with our SilverGlo™ insulation board. SilverGlo™ is infused with graphite, increasing the R value by 24% over standard foam.
Our team then installed a dimpled plastic drainage mat across the dirt floor of the crawlspace. This creates an air space and thermal break. We then installed TerraBlock™ insulation on the floor. Finally, we installed a heavy duty CleanSpace™ liner across the floor. We permanently install this liner with metal fasteners.
Now, this customer's home is comfortable, less drafty, and ready to support their growing family!
This homeowner had recently added an addition to their house and wanted to insulate it to make it into livable space.
There was no attic floor, so we started by creating a layer to blow insulation onto with our Insulweb polyethylene webbing. Once the Insulweb was in place, we secured baffles to keep ventilation to the soffit vent, marked off any electrical work with flags, and blew in our TruSoft cellulose.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this room can now be used all year round comfortably!
