Before & After Photos

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!"

This homeowner in North Adams, MA called us after he noticed that he had mold in his attic. While part of his issue was his roof leaking, another part entirely was the air leaking and high humidity caused by insufficient insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noticed that this homeowner had blown-in fiberglass insulation. 

We first had to remove the insulation in the attic, leaving it bare,. We then began air sealing the cracks and crevices in the attic. This is where the "before" shot is taken - we are beginning that work. It is Zypfoam, a low pressure one component polyurethane foam sealant. It is designed to seal, fill, bond, and stop air infiltration. It is a very important step to prevent the air you pay to cool from heading up into your attic! 

After that, we re-insulated the attic with our TruSoft™ blown-in cellulose. TruSoft™ is 85% recycled content. The other 15% is liquid boric acid, which makes it flame resistant, mold resistant, and rodent resistant. 

This homeowner in North Adams, MA called us initially with concerns about her insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he also noted the inadequate, open-pit sump pump she had installed next to her stairs in her basement. 

We were able to help this homeowner. We removed her old, inadequate sump pump and installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump system. This system features three pumps to prevent the homeowner's basement from flooding. The first pump is a 1/3 hp, cast iron Zoeller pump that can pump up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high. Should the first pump fail or not be able to keep up with the temporary flow of water, a 1/2 hp AC back-up pump on a separate discharge line can pump 3,900 gallons of water per hour. If the power fails, then a third, battery operated "UltraSump" pump automatically pumps up to 12,000 gallons of water. It is the perfect solution for basements that may become wet - especially this homeowners. Plus, there is now an airtight cover for their sump pump, which prevents moisture and odors. They now will be able to have a more comfortable home! 

This home owner in Colebrook, CT called us to his home to see if we could fix his water problem. The problem was that his basement windows were old and let water leak right into the home!

To fix this we replaced the old basement window with beautiful new slider windows. Making sure that the window is installed properly and caulked correctly. 

Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions have completed this install, this home owner will not have to worry about leaky basement windows ever again!

This homeowner in Colebrook, CT called us looking for help with her home. She purchased a home that was built around 200 years ago, and it was very cold and was lacking proper insulation. The homeowner decided to move forward with removing and replacing the insulation in her home. When our installation began, we removed the insulation. That is when we found that the duct for the bath fan -- which had been hidden by insulation -- needed to be replaced. It had been crushed and was detached from the bath fan, sending the moisture from the bathroom directly into the attic insulation. This was likely what was causing a mold issue they had been dealing with.

We were able to help this customer! We replaced the duct for the bath fan with one of our insulated ducts. We ducted this out in the same place as the old one -- the gable end wall of the attic. Now, they will not have moisture invading their attic, and they no longer have a crushed duct!
