Basement Insulation Before & After Photos

This basement in Canterbury, CT had very poor insulation on the basement rim Joists. We reinsulated it with our special spray foam to keep the floors warmer.

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.

This Lanesborough, MA homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to fix his wet basement. His home is over 200 years old and the sump system that was set-up was outdated and unreliable. Our Production Crew solved this problem by moving the sump pump to a better location in the basement. We installed a SuperSump® System with a sturdy liner, airtight lid, 1/3 hp cast iron pump which can discharge up to 2,200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high, and a stand to keep the pump out of silt and sediment. Our very happy customer now has a more reliable sump pump, less air leakage from the sump hole, a drier basement, less radon gas and odors, and a much safer and better looking installation! "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"

The rim joist is a major source of air leakage into many homes.  The rim joist is where the wooden structure of the house rests on the concrete foundation.  Our team used our two part expanding spray foam to seal all gaps effectively stopping the humid air from entering the home in the summer and the cold dry air from entering the home in the winter.  This will keep the basement more comfortable and effectively more energy efficient.
