Before & After Photos

This homeowner in West Stockbridge, MA reached out to us about his basement insulation. The fiberglass insulation he had was described by the homeowner as a "good home for mice", and he was concerned about it. He wanted to replace it with something more rigid. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he discussed different options with the homeowner.

We had the perfect solution for this customer! In this solution, we utilize two-part expanding spray foam. Once we remove the old insulation, we insulate the rim joist (the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). We spray this foam in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Insulating the rim joist in this way seals all air leaks -- filling in the cracks and gaps that are present there. This prevents outside air from getting into the home. Now, this homeowner is much more comfortable in his home! 

This homeowner in Stockbridge, MA reached out to us because he had a mold issue under his home. The underside of his floors were open to the outside air, and while there was insulation, he thought there was an issue with it. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that while there was a big mold problem, the bigger problem was the lack of support under the home. The supports had been badly damaged by the humidity, and they needed to be fortified in some areas and outright replaced in others. 

We were able to help this customer! We utilized our SmartJack™ floor supports. SmartJack™ systems are able to level and stabilize existing beams and floor joists. This gives immediate stabilization to the floors as well as levels them. SmartJacks™ are made from high-strength steel. They are a great addition to this dirt floor crawlspace. The homeowner is now happy knowing his floors are much more stable! 

This homeowner in Lenox, MA reached out to us about her crawl space. She stated that the floors in her home were freezing, even during the summer. There was an opening to the crawl space with a piece of wood over it that she wanted replaced. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer! We custom-make a door for your specific crawl space opening's measurements and install it. Combined with our other solutions, this homeowner now has a much more comfortable home! 

This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA reached out to us because he wanted to finish his basement. He knew that he needed to insulate the basement before he had it finished. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he found that there was an attached crawl space that needed to be encapsulated before we finished the basement. It also needed to have an entrance framed out. 

We were able to help this customer! One of the solutions we utilized was our CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system. We first insulated the walls using our SilverGlo™ foam insulation. For the floor, we added a dimpled drainage mat to create a thermal break. We then installed TerraBlock™ floor insulation on top of that. Then, we installed a CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner over that insulation. We fastened it into both the walls and floor to create a permanent solution for this crawl space. We then added two-part expanding spray foam to the rim joist to ensure that the crawl space was covered. Combined with our other solutions, this homeowner will experience less drafts, warmer floors, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable home! 

This family in Williamstown, MA reached out to us looking for help with basement waterproofing. They had recently had water intrusion in their basement due to late winter's melting snow and heavy rains. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that the basement had standing water in multiple rooms. 

In order to help this customer, we needed to install a sump pump and perimeter drainage system. We used our TripleSafe™ sump pump alongside our WaterGuard™ perimeter drainage system. This sump pump features three pumps! The first pump is a 1/3 hp, cast iron Zoeller pump that can pump up to 2200 gallons per hour, 8 feet high. Should the first pump fail or not be able to keep up with the temporary heavy flow of water, a 1/2 hp AC back-up pump on a separate discharge line can pump 3900 gallons of water per hour. If the power fails, then a third, battery operated "UltraSump" pump automatically pumps up to 12,000 gallons of water out of the basement. Now, the homeowners will have peace of mind, knowing that they have three pumps keeping their basement dry!
