This homeowner in Bloomfield, CT called us to and check out her basement. She was getting a lot of water in through her basement window. To fix this, we decided on replacing the window and installing our SunHouse Basement Window Encloser. To do this, we first had to rip out the old metal framed window well. We had to dig out the earth in front of the window. Next, we lay down stone in the hole we dug to help the water disperse. Then, we put in our SunHouse window well and the cover. We caulk and screw everything in place, this homeowner will not have to worry about water coming through her window again!
The homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services because her basement window was old, leaky, and inefficient. We removed the old window and replaced it with an Everlast™ Basement Window. We sealed the window airtight. This happy homeowner will now experience a warmer basement, warmer floors above the basement, less drafts, and lower energy costs.
This customer in Bloomfield, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her replace her old bulkhead door. It was quite old and very rusty, and she wanted a new one that looked better.
Luckily, Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer. We were able to install a beautiful new bulkhead door. We caulked around the edges and installed flashing behind the door to ensure a tight fit. Now, this homeowner has a new, beautiful bulkhead door that will look nice for years to come!
This homeowner called our office looking for a full Energy Evaluation because her home was very cold and drafty and very expensive to heat.
Upon performing the evaluation, our Building Science Specialist realized that the basement was the main culprit. Without a properly insulated and air sealed basement, your home may seem much colder than necessary, resulting in a cold and drafty home overall and much higher energy bills!
By Insulating the Rim Joists with Closed Cell Spray Foam and lining the basement walls with Foamax Insulation Board, Dr. Energy Saver was able to fix the problem and accomplish our goal to provide warmer, less drafty rooms, and lower energy costs, making this homeowner happy, and more comfortable.
This homeowner in Bloomfield, CT called us looking to have his attic insulation replaced. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home, he noted that this customer had large fiberglass batts for insulation. The insulation was dirty, covered in rodent droppings, and was in desperate need of replacement. It was obvious that there was an air leak of some kind in this attic due to the dirt that was strewn across the insulation.
We were able to help this customer with a short process. First, we removed the fiberglass batts that were in his attic. We then went in and air sealed in all of the tight spaces of the home -- between boards, in joints, et cetera. We then installed our TruSoft™ cellulose insulation in the attic. This insulation is blown in with a large machine. Since it is blown in, it is able to rest in all of the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies - making sure that there are no spots left uninsulated.
This will drastically help the temperature of the home as well as keep the homeowner's energy bills down for years to come!
