Adding Support to a Home in Stockbridge, MA

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!

Installing a Sump Pump in Longmeadow, MA

This homeowner in Longmeadow, MA called us saying that her basement had water in it, as well as mold and musty odors. She had a sump pump, but it was not working effectively. In order to help this customer, we first had to remove the ineffective sump pump and the pipes that were attached to it. We then set to work replacing it. We replaced it with our TripleSafe™ sump pump. 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, this homeowner will have peace of mind that she has three pumps keeping her basement dry!

Insulating a Basement in East Longmeadow, MA

This homeowner in East Longmeadow, MA called us initially asking about mold in her basement. Her child lives in the basement, and she was concerned that the child was exposed to mold. There was a musty odor and high humidity. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he identified the source of her concerns. We had the perfect solution for this customer! We utilized two-part expanding spray foam. We insulated 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. The homeowner is now very happy, and she is much more comfortable in her home!

Insulating a Crawl Space in Somers, CT

This homeowner in Somers, CT called us hoping to talk about the results of his energy audit. The audit had mentioned that he needed comprehensive insulation in his home. His attic, basement, and crawl space all had issues. He wanted it insulated properly before he got his basement finished. 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!
