Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Greenfield, MA called us with concerns about his energy bills. He believed that the insufficient basement insulation was part of the reason why his energy bills were high. Our Home Comfort Specialist came out to confirm this. 

We began by removing the old, inefficient fiberglass insulation from the rim joist. The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. Once that area had the fiberglass removed and was prepped, we sprayed our two part expanding spray foam into the rim joist. This spray foam fills every crack and crevice. This is a much more energy efficient solution. Now, he will be able to have a temperature controlled, warm basement for years to come, without worry about the spray foam molding, falling apart, or being a home for pests. 

This homeowner in Greenfield, MA called us with concerns about the cost of his energy bills. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived at the home, he noted that the homeowner had insufficient attic and basement insulation. He specifically focused on the insufficient fiberglass insulation in the rim joist. The “rim joist” is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house. 

Fogarty's Home Services was able to help this customer by removing the old insulation and replacing it with spray foam. We first removed all of the fiberglass, bagging it and taking it to our dumpster. We then re-insulated using two-part expanding spray foam. This spray foam expands and seals all cracks, air leaks, and crevices to ensure the most effective insulation value. 

This homeowner in Greenfield, MA called us wanting to know more about getting basement insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, we noted that her basement did not have a door. Cold winter air gets sucked into the home continually in winter. In summer, warm humid air enters the basement and causes condensation on cool floor, wall and duct surfaces. Results - Cold basement, cold floors on first floor, drafts, higher heating fuel costs, condensation in summer, higher electric costs for A/C.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, proper framing is installed and a new door with a locking knob is installed. Result - warmer basement and floors over the basement, drier basement in summer, lower fuel and electric costs, less drafts, house easier to heat, more security.

Insulated poured concrete walls to keep the basement more comfortable and less condensation in the summertime.
