Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Dayville, CT reached out to us about her basement insulation. She had fiberglass batts in the basement ceiling she wanted to replace with spray foam insulation. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he did an evaluation of the basement and the connected crawl space. He found that the fiberglass in the crawl space was particularly affected by the humidity issue they were experiencing. The homeowner wanted to address the crawl space as well.

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 homeowner in Webster, MA reached out to us due to drafts in his home. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he found that it was very humid in the crawl space, and they had a water issue. Their old sump pumps were not keeping up with the water. 

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!

This homeowner in Webster, MA reached out to us due to drafts he was experiencing. He wanted to get the weatherstripping replaced on his doors, as he believed that that was the cause of his drafts. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he found that one cause for his drafts was his inadequate insulation. When the Home Comfort Specialist went into the homeowner's crawl space, he noted that the insulation had begun to sag and fall, and there was a humidity issue causing mold.

This homeowner in Otis, MA needed a new window in order to ensure that he would have a secondary way to get out of his basement in case of emergency. Unfortunately, there was not a pre-existing window in the basement, as is often the case. Additionally, there was not a straightforward spot to put the window due to the terrain around the home.

Luckily, Fogarty's was able to identify a spot that the window would be able to go into. We then marked off where the mini-excavator should remove dirt, rocks, and other material from around the space. We then measured out and marked where the window would ideally go. We found that putting the window in the closet would be the best spot, and marked that part of the drywall and tore it out.  On the outside, we prepped and cut the foundation so that it would fit the egress window. We then framed the window and installed it. Once we finished that, we were able to install the window well around it. The homeowner and his family loved the window, and their basement will stay safe and comfortable for years to come!
