Rim Joist Sprayed to Seal and Insulate

With rim joist not being insulated or air sealed Fogarty's Home Services uses a two part spray foam to insulate the rim joist and steal plates. Insulating the rim joist seals all cracks and gaps and joints preventing air leaks from the outside an insulating the important area of their home.

Encapsulating a Crawl Space in Chester, MA

This homeowner in Chester, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her energy bills. She said that her heating bills were $2,000 a month every winter. Additionally, her floors were very cold, and her allergies were very bad every spring. Despite these issues, other programs had told her that there was nothing wrong with her home. 

 

We were able to help this customer! One of the solutions we utilized was our CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system. We first insulated the walls using our SilverGlo™ foam insulation. For the floor, we added a dimpled drainage mat to create a thermal break. We then installed TerraBlock™ floor insulation on top of that. Then, we installed a CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner over that insulation. We fastened it into both the walls and floor to create a permanent solution for this crawl space. We then added two-part expanding spray foam to the rim joist to ensure that the crawl space was covered. Combined with our other solutions, this homeowner will experience less drafts, warmer floors, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable home! 

Reducing Water in a Basement in Blandford, MA

This homeowner in Blanford, MA called us to his home to see what we could do about his water problem in his basement. One of the issues he had was that he had no sump pump!

To help this home owner we installed our Triple Safe Sump Pump. First thing we have to do is jack hammer away the concrete so we can create a hole for the pump to sit in. Then we lay some stone down in the hole and put the pump housing in and make sure its level with the rest of the basement. Once that is done we fill the hole with more stone so we can concrete the floor. Once this is all done we run the PVC pipe out of the basement, through the rim joist and away from the house. 

Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions came and took care of this problem, this homeowner will not have to worry about water in his basement anymore!

Making a Room More Comfortable in Blandford, MA

This home owner in Blandford, MA called to see if we could help make a room more comfortable throughout the year. He wanted to focus on an old dirt crawlspace. The room above this crawlspace was notoriously really cold in the winter and super hot and humid in the summer.

To fix the problem, we had to encapsulate the crawl space. We removed all the old fiberglass insulation and added our 2" Silverglow foam board to the side walls. We laid down our dimple drainage mat and over-laid the Terr-block insulation foam board for additional support. We installed our Cleanspace 20 mil thick vapor barrier on the floors and walls. Our last step was to spray foam the rim joist so that the entire area is secured from the outside elements. 

Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions completed this project, this homeowner's room will stay more comfortable year round!

Reducing Humidity in a Basement in Blandford, MA

This home owner in Blandford, MA called us to his home to see if we could help reduce the amount of humidity that was in his basement. When our building science specialist got to the home he knew exactly what to do.

To fix the problem that was occurring we had to insulate the basement walls. A lot of cold from the outside was conducting into the basement through the walls. When this cold air hit the warm air in the house it created humidity. So, we use our Foamax Insulation panels on the walls. This treatment will help stop any outside elements from coming into the basement and affecting this space.

Now that Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions came to this home and did this treatment, this home owner will not have to worry about humidity in his basement ever again!
