Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Belchertown, MA was looking to make their home more energy efficient starting with the basement. We removed all of their old, ineffective fiberglass insulation along the floor of the first floor. Now we can get to work!

We use our spray foam insulation along the rim joists to stop cold air from entering the home. Now we can install our Foamax insulation boards along the concrete walls.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more comfortable, and energy efficient!!!

This homeowner in Stafford Springs, CT called us out to their home to see what we could do to make their home more energy efficient. We noticed during out Home Energy Evaluation that they had inefficient fiberglass insulation and an un-airsealed can light. Stopping air leakage at the top of the house is a priority when it comes to making a home more comfortable.  Can lights are holes in the ceiling which allow air to leak into the attic between the fixture and the drywall.  Air leaks through the fixture itself due to the many holes and seams in it.  Most can lights are not rated to have insulation against them because of the fire hazard when the fixture gets hot.  We installed our Dr. Energy Saver TiteShell can light covers.  We used our expanding foam to make these lights air tight.  These covers are safe from the fire hazards of hot bulbs and fixtures allowing cellulose insulation to be blown into the attic.

This homeowner in Sturbridge, MA met us at a home show and expressed some concerns in their home to us. Their main concern was how cold it was inside the home all winter, even with the heat running constantly. They were also concerned with how hot it was inside the home during the winter with AC on. 

During our evaluation, we noticed that they did have old insulation in their attic that was inefficient. They also did not have their duct work insulated. This can be a huge issue because the air that you are paying to heat and cool your home will not come out at the temperature it should due to the extreme environment in an attic. All of the old insulation is removed, and we begin to air seal around the duct-work with our Silver-Glo foam insulation boards. Then we spray our Spray Foam insulation around the duct work to completely seal it. This will make the air delivered to the rooms in the home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Then we create an insulated catwalk for storage and to be able to access your duct-work! Next, we blow our TruSoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver this home is more comfortable, has more even temperatures, and energy efficient!

A homeowner called us from Charlton, MA to request a full Home Energy Evaluation. The problem they were having was inconsistent temperatures throughout their house. It would be cold in one room and hot in another. This specific style home has a sloped roof, with knee-walls in the attic that are very difficult to keep warm or cold depending on the season. This knee wall was directly above a bedroom. The lack of any insulation was making it extremely hard to cool and heat the upper level of their home, especially in the bedrooms.

We used our Super Kneewall Treatment to fix this problem. First, we use our 4" SilverGlo insulation boards to block off air from getting through the ceiling joists and bays. We sprayed our one part foam to seal the edges and made sure no air can travel through the cracks. Then, we installed our SilverGlo foam boards under the rafters up to the knee-wall and sealed with one part foam. Next, we had to dense pack the roof slopes with our TruSoft cellulose insulation to stop air flow as well as insulate this non insulated attic. Our last step was to blow our TruSoft cellulose insulation above the flat ceiling.

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, these homeowners can now live more comfortably in their home with more consistent temperatures all year long!

This North Grosvenordale, CT homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services because her pipes had frozen several times. She wanted to resolve this issue so it didn't happen again, and we were happy to help. Besides allowing heat to flow out by conduction, this homeowner's stone walls were letting outside air to leak in, since the home has lower air pressure at the bottom and sucks air in. The sill plate and rim joist above the stone wall were leaking air as well. To fix this very uncomfortable situation, Fogarty's Home Services sprayed the walls, sill plate, and rim joists two-part, expanding, closed cell, polyurethane foam insulation, about 1.5" thick. Because this basement isn't finished, the foam was covered with a white thermal coating. Our customer will notice a DRAMATIC difference in the temperature and comfort of her basement, the floors above it, and her home in general. The results are a much warmer basement, far less drafts, much warmer floors above the basement, a more comfortable home that is easier to heat, and lower energy bills. We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!
