Steps Fogarty’s Home Services Took to Make This Home More Comfortable. Crawl Space Repair With Crawl Space Encapsulation System and Sealing of All Air Leaks.

This home owner in Southampton, MA called us out because of his basement. The problem was that he had so much humidity that his store bought dehumidifier could not keep up. To remedy this issue we proposed to insulate his walls and spray his rim joist. The first step in doing this is to put out our 4x8 panels of our foamax poly-iso board. While doing this it is imperative to make sure we seal in between ever piece so no convective air can travel through the cracks. This treatment will help stop the humidity from wicking through the concrete. To finish this job off, we sprayed the rim joist with our 2-part closed cell spray foam. By spraying the rim joist, we will stop cold air and humidity from entering this basement and causing the bad smelling odors. Now that this project is complete, this home owner will not have to deal with the unpleasant smells in his basement any more!

This sealing and insulating priority are more important in the attic than anywhere else in the house. The SuperAttic system from Dr. Energy Saver overcomes the limitations of other attic energy upgrades, offering superior energy performance throughout the year as well as a neater, cleaner appearance and more usable attic space.

This homeowner in Southampton, MA called us due to very cold floors she had every winter. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to her home, and she noticed that this homeowner's fiberglass insulation was falling off of the subfloor, rendering it useless.

We were able to help this homeowner. We removed the moldy fiberglass insulation. Then, we insulated the rim joist of the home. After that, we insulated along the bottom of the floor joist with SilverGlo™ foam insulation board. This means the homeowner will have warmer floors, lower energy bills, and more comfortable rooms! 

This homeowner had an energy audit done and the company doing the audit refused to go further upon discovery of a rather invasive mold situation. The homeowner was desperate to get to the root of the problem and get it remedied immediately. The homeowner came across our ad in a local publication and gave us a call.

The solution to fixing the problems in this home was quite a process. This home has 3 crawlspace areas that all needed to be extensively treated with MoldX2™ Cleaner and Botanical to get rid of existing mold and help to prevent future mold from growing. Each Crawlspace needed to have our Crawlspace Encapsulation System installed with Drainage Matting, TerraBlock™ Floor Insulation and SilverGlo™ Insulation on the walls. In addition, we used ZypFoam™ Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation around the Rim Joists in the basement and crawlspaces to properly air seal and help keep moisture out. We Installed a SmartPump™ and SmartPipe™ System in the crawlspace under the living room to eliminate water. We also installed a SaniDry™ High Performance Basement Dehumidification System in Main basement area. After removing old and replacing attic insulation with TruSoft™ Cellulose , TiteShell™ Can Light Covers and air sealing in attic, this job is a Wrap!
