This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA was experiencing a lot of air leakage in their attic. This was creating cold drafty rooms as well as heat loss in the winter. The heat loss created an increase in their energy bills attempting to heat the home. Due to this, customers were uncomfortable in their home year round. By air sealing all of the gaps with our spray foam insulation and blowing in Dr. Energy Savers TruSoft cellulose insulation, it created a more comfortable, healthy environment for the entire home and family. Our TruSoft cellulose insulation is treated with natural borate compounds. By doing this we have created a higher R-value in the space as well as decreasing the energy costs.
Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions we made the rooms below a comfortable living space for the customer and their family! Call us today or submit a FREE estimate form!
This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. It was having a consistent water problem that was not being helped by their current mitigation system. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that the biggest issue they were having with actual water in the home was because it was coming in through their open window wells. Open metal window wells let leaves and debris collect in them, blocking light to the basement. Rain gets in, and water from over flooding gutters cascades into the window wells. Weeds grow in the window wells since they have no bottom, and mud splashes up against the window glass. And let’s face it - they are ugly! Results - Constant maintenance, far less natural light to the basement, and they are ugly!
We had the perfect solution for this customer -- the SunHouse™ Basement Window Enclosure! The window enclosure is a bright color and has a bottom to reflect much more light into the basement. The bottom prevents weeds from growing and mud doesn’t splash against the windows. SunHouses™ have a sturdy matching clear cover to keep rain and leaves out, and it keeps the wind from blowing against the windows.
This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with water that was in his basement. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he identified multiple things in addition to the water that the homeowner stated they wanted help fixing. One of these things was the fact that the basement did not have any insulation in it.
We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we spray foam the rim joist in the basement in order to seal and insulate it. The "rim joist" is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home. 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 basement surfaces.
This homeowner in Glastonbury, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. He wanted to insulate his basement walls, as well as his attic. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he asked the homeowners what else they were having problems with in her home. One of the items mentioned by the family was that they had wooden support pillars in the basement that needed to be replaced.
We were able to help this customer! We utilized our SmartJack™ floor supports. SmartJack™ systems are able to level and stabilize existing beams and floor joists. We removed some of the wooden pillars and added our SmartJack™ supports. Now, the homeowner is very happy!
This homeowner in Granby, CT had called us out to his home because he wanted to stop dealing with his cold floors in the winter. To understand why this is happening we have to know that houses like many things are affected by pressure. In the attic there is a positive pressure and in the basement there is a negative pressure. When air comes into our home it comes in from a negative pressure zone. One of the main entry points is the rim joist. In the winter cold air rushes in through this zone and makes the floors above very cold. To fix this, we have to insulate the rim joist. To do this we use a 2-part expanding spray foam. This allows us to get every inch of this space and air seal it properly. Once this is done the cold air cannot get into the basement to make the floors cold!
