Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Simsbury, CT reached out to us looking for attic and wall insulation. He had bad ice damming issues that he wanted to prevent with the upcoming winter season, especially as he had recently replaced his roof. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the loose fiberglass insulation with 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 is now much more comfortable in his home! 

This homeowner in Simsbury, CT called us looking for attic insulation. He had bad drafts and high energy bills. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home to evaluate the home and found inefficient fiberglass batts. This was causing the conditioned space in the home to be very cold during the winter months and very warm during the summer months.

This home owner in Granby, CT called us out to solve a water problem in her basement. When our building science expert got to the home, he saw the problem. There was no sump pump! 

To install a sump pump, the first thing you have to do is find the lowest spot in the basement. This is where we will put the pump so the water will naturally go towards it. Then we start to jack hammer the concrete and dig a hole about 2-3 feet deep.

Once that is done, we put some stone in the bottom of the hole. After we do this, we put the pump housing in the hole and make sure it sits level with the floor. Then, we put in the pump and run the PVC piping out of the home through the rim joist and away from the house. The last step is to concrete around the pump to fill in the gaps. 

Now that Dr Energy Saver came in and did a great job, this home owner does not have to worry about her water issues anymore!

This home owner in Granby, CT called us out because he had a mold problem in his attic. On the inspection of the home the building science specialist saw that the attic was not properly insulated. This was the problem that was causing the mold. It was letting hot air escape into the attic creating condensation. 

To stop this from occurring we have to properly insulate the attic. Before we do this, we have to remove all the insulation. The next step is to put up our insulation rulers. This is for the home owner to see that we blew the correct about of cellulose into their attic. Then we flag all the electrical in the attic so its easy for the electrician to find of they every needed to work on the wires upstairs. once we get this done, the attic is ready to be insulated!
