Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Westfield, MA wanted the floors in their home to be warmer.  As is often the case, the rim joist was not insulated.  An uninsulated rim joist allows cold air to leak into the basement in the winter which makes the floors above cold.  Our team installed our two part expanding spray foam on the rim joist and over the sill plate to insulate and seal all air leaks.  The homeowner was very happy to have warmer floors as well as lower heating costs. 

This homeowner in Westfield, MA called us out to help reduce her ice dams. What we noticed right when we pulled in was that the house was a cape cod construction home. These houses are notorious for leaking air because of the way that they are built. One of the problems is the knee walls. To fix this problem, we have to insulate this space. To start, we block the floor bay in order to stop air from getting into the floors. Then we put runs of our silverglo EPS foam board, making sure to air seal in between each sheet. Once we get up to the top we do our upper blocking to make this space is air tight. Now that we have completed this project, this home is one step closer to reducing those nasty ice dams!

This home owner in Westfield, MA called us out because he was having ice dams in the winter. This is not a good sign. Ice dams can ruin a home and cost ten of thousands in repairs. The reason these dams are occurring is because the heat you pay for rises up into the attic and heats the roof deck to over 32 degrees, melting the snow. The snow runs down the roof until it gets to the gutters and re-freezes making a dam. To stop this from happening, we must air seal this home. We will stop the hot air from getting into your attics by sealing every single gap, crack, and penetration from the conditioned space to the attic. Once we have this done the house is one step closer to being ice dam free!

This homeowner in Westfield, Ma called us out because he could keep his home comfortable in the winter. The temperature would always change and his furnace would be on all of the time. During the inspection of the home, we found that he had an interior wall exposed to an attic space. This wall was letting heat escape in the attic by conducting right through the Sheetrock. To stop this, we started to insulate the wall with our silverglo foam EPS board. By putting this insulation board on the wall, it will stop the heat from conduction through the Sheetrock. Since the heat is now not escaping, this area of the home will be much more comfortable and the furnace will not have to run nearly as much!

This homeowner in Westfield, MA called us out to their home for a quote on upgrading their attic insulation. When we got to their home, in the attic we noticed very old, nasty fiberglass and blown-in insulation. We also noticed something more concerning, mold! Mold can be very harmful, especially to younger/older people, and pets! 

To begin, we prepped the home and protect the homeowners belongings. Next, we remove all of that old, nasty fiberglass and blown-in insulation, bag it up and properly dispose of it. Now we can treat that mold! We use our MoldX2 Cleaner to kill any and all mold spores. This can be sprayed directly on effected materials, or fogged to get into all nooks and crannies. Next, we use our Mold-X2 Botanical to remove the mold stains off of effected areas. Now, we air seal any top plates with foam. Finally, we can blow in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation which fills all gaps and odd shaped voids! The last thing we do, is install an insulated scuttle cover! Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this house is more comfortable, safer, and energy efficient!
