Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Millbury, MA called us out to their home to update their attic insulation. Due to having inefficient insulation they were experiencing snow melt on the roof! Some spots were too hot and others were too cold. This home was insulated with old fiberglass insulation, which does not stop airflow!

We know we needed to remove all of the old, inefficient fiberglass insulation in this knee wall space. We bag up and properly dispose of the materials and move on to installing our SilverGlo! We install our blocks of Silverglo foam insulation board between the ceiling joist bays, and under the rafters. Around the blocks are air sealed with foam. Now, inside air is not able to escape out of the home and outside air is not able to enter!

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this home is more comfortable, energy-efficient, and no longer has snow melt!

This homeowner in Shrewsbury, MA reached out to us hoping that we would be able to help him with his insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to his home, he provided a full evaluation of the entire home, including the crawl space, which had insulation issues. In a crawl space, the “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. The joints and gaps between all the framing members allow for a lot of air leakage into the house. The rim joist is seldom insulated and never air sealed. Crawl space ceiling insulation, especially fiberglass batts, doesn’t stop the flow of cold air into the home. Results - cold floors, drafty, uncomfortable rooms, cold lower level, higher heating and cooling bills and more condensation in the basement or crawl space in the summer.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the crawl space in order to seal and insulate it. Two part expanding spray foam is installed on the rim joist and over the sill plate to seal all air leaks from the outside and insulate this important area of the home. Our spray foam has a high insulation value per inch of R7, and because it expands, it seals all cracks and gaps and joints where air from the outside enters the home. Results - warmer floors, less drafts, more comfortable rooms, the house is easier to heat and costs less to heat, less summertime condensation on cold crawl space surfaces.

This homeowner in Shrewsbury, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. He wanted to talk about getting his attic insulated and air sealed. He was in the process of replacing his air system with a heat pump. He was looking to replace his attic insulation at around the same time, especially as he had a tight work schedule. He was looking forward to making his home more energy efficient.

We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the old blown-in insulation using a large vacuum. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the attic was air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner now can enjoy a more energy efficient home! 

This homeowner in Grafton, MA reached out to us initially because he had found that there was black mold growing on his basement walls. There was mold in the fiberglass insulation on the walls as well as growing on the wood framing around the insulation. This was a new problem for him -- he had been in the home for 4 years without an issue. Since he had a family, he needed to keep the home insulated, but remove the possibility of mold growing back. 

We were able to help this customer. We utilized our Foamax polyisocyanurate board alongside two-part spray foam to insulate the basement. Before we were able to utilize these, however, we had to remove the mold and the old insulation. Once the mold was removed, we were able to go in and begin to insulate. The Foamax polyiso board was able to fasten directly over the existing walls. Now, this homeowner is happy to have his home back to normal! 

This homeowner in West Stockbridge, MA reached out to us hoping to talk about her home. She claimed that "everything was cold" in her home. She wanted to insulate the basement to prevent the cold from entering the home. She additionally had a crawl space that was causing issues with energy efficiency, and she had musty odors. 

We were able to help this customer! One of the solutions we utilized was our CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system. We first insulated the walls using our SilverGlo™ foam insulation. For the floor, we added a dimpled drainage mat to create a thermal break. Then, we installed a CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner over the drainage mat. We fastened it into both the walls and floor to create a permanent solution for this crawl space. We then added two-part expanding spray foam to the rim joist to ensure that the crawl space was covered. The spray foam was also used to seal and insulate around the CleanSpace™ liner in spaces where it was unable to be sealed using our traditional methods. Combined with our other solutions, this homeowner will experience less drafts, warmer floors, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable home!
