This homeowner in Ludlow, MA called us hoping that we would be able to make her home more comfortable - some rooms in her home were very cold. When our Home Comfort Specialist came to the home, he noted that the rim joist was unsealed and poorly insulated with just fiberglass batts.
To help this homeowner, we had to first remove the inefficient insulation. This was bagged and put into our trucks for disposal at our warehouse.
After that, we used our closed cell expanding spray foam. We sprayed this evenly in each cavity in the rim joist and over the sill plate. (The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house). This two-part spray foam expands to seal all cracks and gaps. It also has a high insulation value per inch of R7.
Now, this homeowner has a warmer and more comfortable home!
This homeowner in Ludlow, MA called us hoping to replace his bulkhead and window wells. The homeowner said that the window wells and bulkhead had not been replaced in the almost 35 years he had owned the home. He did not know if they had ever been replaced. He wanted to replace them, as the concrete had begun to crack and crumble.
We were able to help this customer! We began by removing the old, concrete window wells. We then replaced them with our SunHouse™ window enclosures. They feature a white bottom that reflects natural light into the basement. They also have a clear cover that is both sturdy and fitted. This prevents rain and leaves from getting in to the window wells. Leaves had collected for years in the old wells, so this was a welcome change. Our SunHouse™ window enclosures are a beautiful addition to any home. Now, this homeowner is excited to have brand new window enclosures!
This homeowner had old wooden door in the basement that let air in. So we replaced it with a new thick steal so no air would get through.
This homeowner in East Hampton, CT called us with water issues in his home. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that there was an inadequate sump pump already in the home that needed to be replaced.
In order to help this customer, we first had to remove the ineffective sump pump and the pipes that were attached to it. We then set to work replacing it. We replaced it with our TripleSafe™ sump pump. This sump pump features three pumps! The first pump is a 1/3 hp, cast iron Zoeller pump that can pump up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high. Should the first pump fail or not be able to keep up with the temporary heavy flow of water, a 1/2 hp AC back-up pump on a separate discharge line can pump 3900 gallons of water per hour. If the power fails, then a third, battery operated "UltraSump" pump automatically pumps up to 12,000 gallons of water out of the basement.
Now, this homeowner will have peace of mind that he has three pumps keeping his basement dry!
This homeowner in Vernon, CT called us out to their home to take a look at a potential mold issue and to replace old inefficient fiberglass insulation. Mold can be very dangerous. It is harmful to have in your home, especially for pets, young children, and older people. The old inefficient fiberglass without air sealing was also a huge concern.
We removed all of the old, fiberglass insulation and properly disposed of the materials properly Next, we fog our Mold-X treatment throughout the attic to neutralize any nooks and crannies that can be affected. Now we are ready for the next step. We seal up all top plates and any areas where air can escape from the home into the attic and be lost with foam. We even made an insulated storage area as shown in the after photo. Now we are ready to blow our Truoft Cellulose insulation into the attic. Cellulose will fill in any odd-shaped voids and gaps.
Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more energy efficient!
