Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Shrewsbury, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. He wanted to talk about getting his attic insulated and air sealed. He was in the process of replacing his air system with a heat pump. He was looking to replace his attic insulation at around the same time, especially as he had a tight work schedule. He was looking forward to making his home more energy efficient.

We were able to help this customer! We were able to replace the attic insulation with TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. We started by removing the old blown-in insulation using a large vacuum. We then went in and air-sealed around all of the points where air leaks up from the home to the attic. We did this using our Zypfoam™ spray foam. Once the atitc is air sealed, we used a long hose to blow in TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. TruSoft™ is amazing -- it does not burn, get moldy, or attract pests. The blown-in insulation fills all gaps and oddly shaped voids. The homeowner now can enjoy a more energy efficient home! 

This homeowner in Grafton, MA reached out to us initially because he had found that there was black mold growing on his basement walls. There was mold in the fiberglass insulation on the walls as well as growing on the wood framing around the insulation. This was a new problem for him -- he had been in the home for 4 years without an issue. Since he had a family, he needed to keep the home insulated, but remove the possibility of mold growing back. 

We were able to help this customer. We utilized our Foamax polyisocyanurate board alongside two-part spray foam to insulate the basement. Before we were able to utilize these, however, we had to remove the mold and the old insulation. Once the mold was removed, we were able to go in and begin to insulate. The Foamax polyiso board was able to fasten directly over the existing walls. Now, this homeowner is happy to have his home back to normal! 

This homeowner in Southington, CT called us stating that his home's radon level came out to 9 pCi/L. This is higher than the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L, which concerned him quite a lot. He wanted to install a mitigation system in order to lower his levels as soon as possible. Our radon measurement specialist came out to the home and identified the best spot for the mitigation system.

We were able to help this customer. We installed a radon mitigation system in his home. We began by drilling the holes in the basement -- both in the concrete slab in the bottom and the hole for the exterior penetration. He then began installing the pipes and secured them inside the basement. He installed the manometer on the pipe on the inside of the home. The manometer measures the pressure of the radon in the system, indicating whether or not it is functioning correctly. After that, he went outside to build the rest of the system. He installed the fan on the outside of the home. Once the system was installed, he went back inside, sealing around all of the cracks and gaps in the basement. He also sealed all of the holes that had been drilled for the system. Now, this homeowner has a system designed to keep the radon levels in his home low! 

This homeowner in Westhampton, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her radon mitigation system. She wanted to sell her house, however, the radon system they already had installed was non-functioning. She stated that at one point, the system became quite noisy, so she shut it off. When she went to turn it back on, it would not start. 

We were able to help this customer. We replaced her old, non-functioning radon fan with a new one. We utilize many different radon fans depending on many different factors. This home required our Festa AMG Maverick fan. Now, this homeowner has a functioning radon mitigation fan, and she will feel confident listing her home on the market! 

This homeowner in West Suffield, CT called us hoping to talk about his home. He was purchasing a home, and the home inspection showed that he had a radon level above the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L. Specifically, the radon level was 4.2 pCi/L. This was concerning to the homeowner, and he wanted to get a mitigation system installed as soon as possible.

We had the perfect solution for this customer! We installed a radon mitigation system in his home. We identified the specific space where the mitigation system should be installed. After that, we drilled a hole in the floor as well as a hole in the wall for the exterior penetration. We put together the pipes, starting in the floor, and built it out through the exterior penetration to the outside. We secured the pipes to the wall, and then installed the manometer onto the pipe. (A manometer measures the pressure of the radon gas in the system, indicating whether or not the system is functioning). We then went outside to continue building out the system. We installed the fan and continued building out the pipes, securing them to the outside of the home. Our technician then sealed around the holes that had been drilled for the system. Now, the homeowner has a brand new radon system for their home!
