Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

Cathedral ceiling was dramatically uninsulated. Fogarty's Home Services removed the ridge vent and inserted a long fill tube to reach the bottom of the ceiling plane, and "dense packed" into each rafter bay filling all air spaces. After Completion of insulation We installed hip and ridge cap shingles and a Tribuilt Omni Ridge pro - ridge vent to finish the job.

Fogarty's Home Services was contacted by this Gales Ferry, CT homeowner to come take a look at air flow issues in the home. We found that this home had old, dirty insulation in the attic that needed to be removed and replaced.  Attic insulation in your home can get pretty nasty. Over many years, it sits there collecting dirt, dust, pollen, bugs, rodent feces (from mice, squirrels, bats, etc.), bird droppings and nests of all kinds of undesirable things. It's possible that old insulation like this can be moved aside for a proper air sealing job that must be done prior to adding enough TruSoft™ blown cellulose insulation to today's standards - but we prefer to completely remove the old, nasty insulation from your home and start fresh. Fogarty's Home Services will conduct the unpleasant task of removing the damaged, soiled insulation in your attic. Batt insulation is bagged and then the attic is vacuumed to remove pieces, parts and dust. Loose fill insulation is vacuumed with a giant vacuum located outside with giant filter bags and a very long, fat hose. Then, we have a clean attic that is ready for proper air sealing and installation of new, fresh TruSoft™ cellulose insulation or one of our other Dr. Energy Saver strategies to make your home comfortable and energy efficient - just like we did in this happy customer's home. 

This homeowner in Baltic, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her extreme mold problem in her attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home and noted that there was a large amount of insulation, but that it was ineffective. They had had someone come and put fiberglass insulation in over their existing blown-in insulation due to the issues that they were experiencing. 

We were able to help this homeowner. We had several solutions that we helped her with. One specific one was re-insulating the attic. We first removed all of the existing insulation -- both fiberglass batts and blown-in insulation. 

After that, we went in and air sealed using our Zypfoam™ one-part spray foam. We made sure that all cracks and gaps were sealed, and electrical components were covered with TiteShell™ covers and sealed as well. 

Finally, we went in and blew in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation using a long hose. TruSoft™ fills all gaps and odd-shaped voids, meaning that there is a consistent blanket of insulation. This means that the homeowner will have a comfortable home for years to come! 

This home needed to be insulated so we got on the job and insulated parts of the Attic
