This homeowner in West Stockbridge, MA reached out to us hoping to talk about her home. She claimed that "everything was cold" in her home. She wanted to insulate the basement to prevent the cold from entering the home. She additionally had a crawl space that was causing issues with energy efficiency, and she had musty odors.
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. Then, we installed a CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner over the drainage mat. 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. The spray foam was also used to seal and insulate around the CleanSpace™ liner in spaces where it was unable to be sealed using our traditional methods. Combined with our other solutions, this homeowner will experience less drafts, warmer floors, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable home!
This homeowner in Stockbridge, MA reached out to us because he had a mold issue under his home. The underside of his floors were open to the outside air, and while there was insulation, he thought there was an issue with it. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that while there was a big mold problem, the bigger problem was the lack of support under the home. The supports had been badly damaged by the humidity, and they needed to be fortified in some areas and outright replaced in others.
We were able to help this customer! We utilized our SmartJack™ floor supports. SmartJack™ systems are able to level and stabilize existing beams and floor joists. This gives immediate stabilization to the floors as well as levels them. SmartJacks™ are made from high-strength steel. They are a great addition to this dirt floor crawlspace. The homeowner is now happy knowing his floors are much more stable!
This homeowner in West Springfield, MA reached out to us hoping to talk about her home. She was living in a mobile home, and was having some comfort issues, as it was the late fall. During her initial evaluation, she stated that her insulation under her home was damaged due to a leak. She wanted it replaced due to the comfort issues she was experiencing.
We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, SilverGlo™ foam insulation board is installed across the bottom of the floor joists with special long screws and 3” washers, SilverGlo™ is expanded polystyrene foam with graphite infused into the foam, which bumps up the insulation (“R”) value by 24% over standard EPS foam. Further, SilverGlo™ has a radiant barrier to reflect heat, so the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. All seams are sealed. If necessary a skirt board can be installed around the perimeter of the insulation so the edge is not visible. The skirt board may require painting after we are complete. Result - Much warmer floors, less drafts and more comfortable rooms, quieter home, lower fuel and electric bills.
