We recently helped homeowners in Brunswick, Maine to insulate their empty attic. Our Tru-Soft cellulose blown insulation can be easily added to immediately provide not only energy improvements, but also improved protection against mold, and fire resistance. Our Tru-Soft cellulose is environmentally friendly, made of 85% recycled paper. The cellulose fibers are treated with a fire retardant to help protect against fire damage, and also prevents mold growth.
Without air sealing an attic, hot air is still able to penetrate loose blown-in insulation, leading to higher energy bills and an uncomfortable home. This Topsham, ME, homeowner wanted to become more energy efficient, so they booked a free estimate with Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid met with the homeowner and performed a Blower Door Test that showed room for improvement. Nima worked with the homeowner to design a Dr. Energy Saver system that would make their home more comfortable and energy efficient.
First the old insulation was removed, and the attic was air-sealed where needed with ZypFoam. Any areas that could leak air into the home were filled in and around the chimney. Next, TruSoft Cellulose installation was blown in to reinsulate the area. TruSoft Cellulose is an environmentally friendly product made from recycled materials that are treated for fire resistance. Unlike typical fiberglass insulation that will melt when presented with a flame, TruSoft Cellulose insulation will resist the flame and won’t ignite. Now the homeowner not only has a more energy efficient home, but a more comfortable and safer home thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basement Systems.
A homeowner in Manchester, Maine, had been growing more and more concerned as they noticed water seeping through their basement walls. Unsure of how to fix the problem, they reached out to TC Hafford for help. After a thorough assessment, we installed Dr. Energy Saver foam insulation to create a lasting barrier against moisture. The difference was immediate. The once damp walls were now fully protected, and we added our SaniDry Dehumidifier to remove the previous excess moisture for a clean and dry basement. The homeowner was pleased with the transformation.
Farmingdale, ME homeowners had finished their basement only to find it was constantly cold and drafty. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to insulate the space and take advantage of the state's energy rebates. System Design Specialist Josh H. helped guide them through the right solution to insulate their basement. We installed SprayFoam Insulation to keep the space air tight and moisture free. Now our homeowners can truly relax and enjoy the finished basement area.
We recently completed insulating a brand new large garage build in Bath, Maine. We installed rockwool insulation on the garage walls, which is a great alternative to traditional fiberglass insulation. Rockwool is fire resistant, as well as water and mold resistant, whereas fiberglass insulation can absorb water, keeping it damp and primed for mold growth. Rockwool is also very durable and does not sag or settle like fiberglass insulation will. On the ceiling we used Spray Foam insulation to ensure all of the nooks and crannies were air tight. Spray Foam provides immediate energy savings and improvement.
