These homeowners in Stockbridge, MA were having a serious problem with their crawlspace! They have pipes running through the crawlspace and needed to have an industrial heater down there to keep the pipes from freezing in the winter. A dehumidifier was needed constantly as the crawlspace was very damp. They were also hoping to get easier access to the crawlspace, which you can learn more about here!
We first removed fiberglass insulation that had been secured to the ceiling with a sort of chicken wire that was not helping the situation. After clearing everything up, we insulated the walls with our SilverGlo insulation foam board. We then put down a plastic matting, floor insulation, and finally a vapor barrier on the floor of the crawlspace, sealed securely with fasteners and special tape.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this crawlspace is far safer for the home above as well as the utilities running through it.
This homeowner in Stockbridge, MA reached out to us hoping we would be able to help her with her home. She had a humidity problem and needed it checked out to prevent her mold problem from reoccurring. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and found that she had no insulation in her basement whatsoever. When he was at the home, she mentioned that the basement could get quite loud, and she was hoping to try and muffle the sound for the people on the first floor of the home.
We had the perfect solution for this customer. We utilized our RockWool batting, which both insulates the basement and dampens the sound transmission between floors. After we spray foamed the rim joist to insulate the basement, we got to work with the RockWool. We first had to add metal insulation support rods so that we could hold the insulation up effectively. After that, we added our RockWool insulation. This insulation is a fireproof mineral fiber. Now, the homeowner is excited to have a temperature-controlled basement, and they hear less basement noise when they are in the main living space!
This homeowner in Stockbridge, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her home. She had a humidity problem and wanted to resolve it. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that she needed insulation in her basement and garage. Among other spots in the home, the frost walls were not insulated. Insulating them would lower the humidity in the basement and prevent energy loss.
We were able to help this customer. We insulated the frost walls in her basement utilizing Foamax polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) insulation boards. These foam boards are installed directly onto the existing walls. They are flame retardant, and are therefore able to stay exposed inside of a basement. They make a noticeable difference in a space, especially in one that has severe temperature control issues such as this homeowner's basement and garage!
