Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Stonington, CT called us with concerns about his attic insulation. He believed the insulation in his home was water damaged. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he noted that the attic insulation was blown-in fiberglass. The home was almost 50 years old, and was not sealed and insulated to modern standards. 

Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer create a more comfortable and safe home. We removed the blown-in fiberglass using a large vacuum, ensuring that we got into every tight corner so we could remove all of it. We then got to work air-sealing the attic using our ZypFoam one-part spray foam. We installed baffles in the rafter bays, and marked each electrical component in the attic with flags for the convenience of the homeowners. We then insulated the home using our TruSoft™ blown in cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ insulation is made of 85% recycled material, and it fills all of the gaps and odd shaped voids that you may have in your attic. This home will now be comfortable for years to come! 

This homeowner in Thompson, CT called us to their home to help with cold floors and humidity. This home had a nasty, dirt crawlspace that was impacting those concerns!

First, we remove all of the old, nasty insulation any debris in the crawlspace. Next, we install our dimpled plastic drainage matting across the floor to create an airspace and thermal break. TerraBlock™ floor insulation is installed over the dimpled drainage mat. Now, our heavy-duty, 20 mil thick CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner is installed permanently across the dirt floor. It is sealed with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor. This will drastically reduce the cold floors and keep water and moisture out of the crawlspace, and make this home more comfortable and energy efficient!

This homeowner in Auburn, MA called us out to their old home for an energy evaluation. We concluded that the old fiberglass insulation in the attic was not efficient. Their home was still freezing in the winter, and super hot in the summer. 

We removed all of the old, nasty fiberglass insulation and got ready to use our SuperAttic treatment for this homeowner. We plan to install our SilverGlo foam insulation boards on the underside of the roof deck and the gable end. In this after photo, you can see the SilverGlo was installed on the gable ends! Next up, under the roof deck! 

Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this home will have more consistent temperatures, and is more energy-efficient!

This homeowner in Putnam, CT called us stating that he had a poorly insulated Cape-style home. The home had been built by a family member 70 years ago, and it had multiple problems that the homeowner was working to fix. He wanted to have his insulation replaced to increase the comfort of his home. The second floor of a Cape often suffers from inadequate insulation, and air leaks from the soffits into poorly insulated kneewall spaces. This results in cold drafty rooms in winter that are harder than necessary to heat, and hot rooms in the summer as roof heat radiates in unchecked. Kneewall spaces are dusty and too cold or hot - unsuitable for clean storage.

We had the perfect solution for this customer -- our Super Kneewall™ treatment. First, our SilverGlo™ foam insulation panels are installed on the bottom of the rafters in the kneewall spaces and the ceiling joist bays are blocked and sealed with foam to stop air leakage. Then the roof slopes are dense packed with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation to stop air flow and insulate. Finally, the flat ceiling is insulated with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. Result - rooms are comfortable all year and need much less heat and air conditioning. Drafts are eliminated as kneewall spaces are airtight and clean and suitable for storage. Summer roof heat is far less.

These Homeowners in North Stonington, CT Called us out to their home for insulation and air sealing of the attic. When we arrived, we noticed there was old inefficient fiberglass insulation in the attic.  We removed all the fiberglass insulation and vacuumed up all the debris. Next, we started air sealing the attic. We sealed up all the gaps and odd shaped voids where air was able to leak and is lost. We then insulated the attic with trusoft cellulose insulation. The access point to their attic was through the attic stairs hatch. This hatchway is a main point of where air can leak from. We installed a David Lewis Hatch Cover. What that cover does, is it rests right over the pull-down stair hatch. The cover is made of lightweight silver Glo foam insulation, it can be easily lifted aside to go up into your attic and set it back in place when you leave. It is installed over an insulated platform. It stops air from leaking down into the home and from the home up into the attic. We also insulated their ducts with Silver Glo and spray foam insulation.

Thanks to Fogarty's Home Services, these homeowners will have a more comfortable home, lower energy bills.
