Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

Fixing air leaks at the top of a home to prevent cold drafty rooms and colder floors.

Fogarty's Home Services replaced the old dirty attic insulation to get the attic clean and ready for proper air sealing and insulation of clean fresh TruSoft Cellulose insulation in Wethersfield, CT.  As you can see in the before photo the old batt insulation was loose and not properly insulating this homeowner's attic for home efficiency. 

Our Team insulated this Knee Wall space and made the home more comfortable all year round. Also allows the homeowner to spend less on fuel and energy.

This homeowner in Westfield, MA called us out to help reduce her ice dams. What we noticed right when we pulled in was that the house was a cape cod construction home. These houses are notorious for leaking air because of the way that they are built. One of the problems is the knee walls. To fix this problem, we have to insulate this space. To start, we block the floor bay in order to stop air from getting into the floors. Then we put runs of our silverglo EPS foam board, making sure to air seal in between each sheet. Once we get up to the top we do our upper blocking to make this space is air tight. Now that we have completed this project, this home is one step closer to reducing those nasty ice dams!

This home owner in Windsor, CT call us out to help make her temp. upstairs more consistent throughout the rooms. One thing we must take into account with every home is stack effect. Hot air rises through your home and leaks into your attic and is gone forever. To stop this warm air from leaving. we must air seal. Air sealing will help stop the convective air from escaping into your attic. When we air seal we must air seal every penetration in the attic so air cannot find its way through. After we do this we can blow insulation. Air sealing this home will be a great start to making this home more consistent!
