Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Adams, MA called us out to their home for an estimate on spray foam insulation in their basement because they were getting a lot of cold air in the area. We conducted our full home energy evaluation and noticed an old, open sump pump hole in the basement floor! This was for one, dangerous, and two was letting tons of air leak out from their home! This will create humid basements in the summer, and possible floods.

Now we know what we need to do to fix this problem. Dr Energy Saver SuperSump system is well engineered. We dig a hole in the floor to make sure the pump will fit. Then we drill the pipe to the rim joist. The water that would be in the basement then goes into the ground and discharges through an outlet. The water then is pumped outside away from the house where it is properly drained.

Now this home no longer has an open hole allowing air, and water into the basement thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions!

This homeowner in Sandisfield, MA called us looking for new insulation in his home. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that the home's crawlspace was insulated on the ceiling using foam insulation board, but it was not encapsulated. The dirt crawlspace was being used for storage, and was at risk of having water leaks.

We were able to help this homeowner by re-insulating and encapsulating the crawl space. We first ensured that all of the old insulation was out. After performing other treatments such as insulating the rim joist using our two part expanding spray foam, we got to work installing our SilverGlo™ wall insulation. SilverGlo™ has graphite infused into the foam to increaase the R-value by 24% over standard foam. We then followed by laying down our dimpled drainage mat. After that, we started installing TerraBlock floor insulation, before pausing to fully install the SuperSump™ sump pump, which is a different solution we offer for crawlspaces and basements. We ensured that the TerraBlock went right around it to prevent gaps in the insulation. After that is finished, we installed our CleanSpace™ encapsulation liner. This waterproof liner also features Ultrafresh™ anti-microbial ingredients. This homeowner now has a well insulated and clean crawlspace where he can store his valuables. This crawlspace now will prevent moisture damage and mold that could have grown in the home.

These home owners in North Adams Mass had called us out for a couple of reasons. One of the reasons was a problem in their three season porch. In the winter time, the floor in that room was unbearably cold. To fix this we uses our 4" Silverglo underneath the three season porch. Silverglo is a foam board infused with graphite to bump up the R-value by 24%. In addition to the foam board we also air seal in between the Silverglo so no cold air can get into the floor joists and make this room cold. Now these home owners can enjoy there three season room all year round!

Our North Adams, MA customer reached out to Fogarty's Home Services after experiencing ice damming. She was concerned that they would cause leaking and damage in her attic. After one of our Home Comfort Specialists completed a free Home Energy Evaluation, we determined that her vented attic needed more sufficient insulation.  Vented attics are hostile places (-30°F in the winter and 125°F in the summer). Heat from the house in the attic melts snow on the roof where it refreezes at the eaves causing destructive ice damming. After installing this SuperAttic™ Advanced Conversion system in our customer's home, she not longer has a hostile environment in her attic that will cause ice damming. She also has a less drafty, more energy efficient home. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"

When our North Adams, MA customer reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to help make his attic more energy efficient, we were happy to help. One improvement we made was to install an exclusive "David Lewis Hatch Cover™" (named for the engineer who developed it). This hatch cover rests right over the pull-down stairs. It stops air leakage and insulates over the stairs. Made of lightweight SilverGlo™ foam insulation, you just lift it aside to go up into your attic, and set it back in place when you leave. SilverGlo™ foam insulation has graphite infused into the foam which bumps up the insulation value by 24% over standard EPS foam. It also has a radiant barrier (foil) on the flat lid to reflect heat back in during winter and out in the summer, so the insulation isn't doing all the work by itself. Now our happy customer has a tighter, more comfortable, less drafty home. He'll notice a much more comfortable temperature year-round and lower energy bills. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"
