Before & After Photos

These Homeowners in North Stonington, CT Called us out to their home for insulation and air sealing of the attic. When we arrived, we noticed there was old inefficient fiberglass insulation in the attic.  We removed all the fiberglass insulation and vacuumed up all the debris. Next, we started air sealing the attic. We sealed up all the gaps and odd shaped voids where air was able to leak and is lost. We then insulated the attic with trusoft cellulose insulation. The access point to their attic was through the attic stairs hatch. This hatchway is a main point of where air can leak from. We installed a David Lewis Hatch Cover. What that cover does, is it rests right over the pull-down stair hatch. The cover is made of lightweight silver Glo foam insulation, it can be easily lifted aside to go up into your attic and set it back in place when you leave. It is installed over an insulated platform. It stops air from leaking down into the home and from the home up into the attic. We also insulated their ducts with Silver Glo and spray foam insulation.

Thanks to Fogarty's Home Services, these homeowners will have a more comfortable home, lower energy bills.

This homeowner in North Stonington, CT reached out to us looking to do work in his basement. He wanted to get his basement insulated, as he was having a lot of issues with the first floor of his home being cold. Additionally, he had a moisture issue he wanted fixed, and he wanted to eventually finish his basement. In a basement, the “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. The joints and gaps between all the framing members allow for a lot of air leakage into the house. The rim joist is seldom insulated and never air sealed. Basement ceiling insulation, especially fiberglass batts, doesn’t stop the flow of cold air into the home. Results - cold floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms, cold basement/lower level, higher heating and cooling bills and more condensation in the basement or crawl space in the summer.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the basement in order to seal and insulate it. Two part expanding spray foam is installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters the home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold basement surfaces.

This customer contacted Fogarty's Home Services because the floors in her home were cold, she was finding it more difficult to keep the house warm and she had high energy bills.  Our Home Comfort Specialist identified uninsulated walls in the basement which is contributing to making the home uncomfortable.

We installed Foamax foam insulation board on the basement walls with Dr. Energy Saver’s proprietary Foam-Tite fasteners.  The customer now has a warmer, more comfortable basement, warmer floors above basement, less condensation in the summertime and lower fuel bills.
