Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This Homeowner called us concerned about the condition of the existing Insulation in the attic and Cathedral Ceiling of the main entryway to their home. We evaluated the problem in this home and came up with a solution to make the affected area more comfortable and efficient.

Our team began by removing 270 sq. ft. of old, damaged, batt and loose Insulation. We then treated the area for mold with MoldX2 Cleaner and MoldX2 Botanical. Next we laid down Insulweb Treatment with 1X3" strapping and then Dense Packed with TruSoft™ Cellulose from Soffit/Fascia, before replacing ceiling with Sheetrock/Sheetrock Tape and 1 coat of mud per the Homeowner's request. The Homeowner opted to complete finishing details such as sanding and painting. We do projects large and small. From Basement to Roof, Dr. Energy Saver has you covered!

This homeowner in Stonington, CT called us with concerns about his attic insulation. He believed the insulation in his home was water damaged. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that the attic insulation was blown-in fiberglass. The home was almost 50 years old, and was not sealed and insulated to modern standards. 

Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer create a more comfortable and safe home. We removed the blown-in fiberglass using a large vacuum, ensuring that we got into every tight corner so we could remove all of it. We then got to work air-sealing the attic using our ZypFoam one-part spray foam. We installed baffles in the rafter bays, and marked each electrical component in the attic with flags for the convenience of the homeowners. We then insulated the home using our TruSoft™ blown in cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ insulation is made of 85% recycled material, and it fills all of the gaps and odd shaped voids that you may have in your attic. This home will now be comfortable for years to come! 

This homeowner in Pomfret Center, CT called us when an energy evaluation on her home showed insufficient insulation in the attic. When we arrived, we noticed that her attic had batts of fiberglass insulation. The insulation was littered with bugs, dirt, and rodent feces -- not an ideal situation for a home, especially one where children or the elderly live. We spoke to the homeowner and she came to the conclusion that our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation was the best choice for her home. But before we could install that, we first had to see what was under all of that insulation.

The batts of insulation were bagged up into large trash bags. The stray pieces were then vacuumed out, alongside any remaining animal droppings and bugs. The insulation was then disposed of by Fogarty's Home Services.

Now, the attic is ready to be prepped, sealed, and insulated again! This removal is the first step to the lowered energy bills and comfortable home the customer was looking for. 

This homeowner in Southbridge, MA called us hoping that he could get the insulation in his attic replaced. Unfortunately, it had mold, and needed to be replaced as soon as possible. We first removed the attic insulation, leaving the attic bare (as seen in this photo). After remediating the mold (another solution!), we were able to get started on re-insulating this attic.

We first went in with our ZypFoam™ one-part spray foam. This was used to seal all cracks and gaps in the attic floor - any place where the air from the home would leak into the attic and get lost. After air sealing, we then took to insulating the main part of the attic with our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is blown-in insulation -- meaning that it is literally blown into the attic using a large hose. We installed this insulation to the optimum R-value of R-60. Since it is blown in insulation, it avoids thermal bridging by covering framing members and fills all cracks, gaps, and odd shaped voids. Now, this homeowner's house is more comfortable than ever!
