What the housing means for the work
- Lead-safe work. 52 percent of homes were built before 1980. Atlas is an EPA certified lead renovator and follows lead-safe (RRP) practices on pre-1978 paint.
- Seasonal homes. 39 percent of Bridgewater homes are held for seasonal or occasional use. A roof leak or ice dam in an empty house can go unseen all winter, so check the roof and attic before the snow.
- Delivered fuel. 78 percent of Bridgewater households heat mainly with oil or propane, so heat kept in by an air-sealed attic is fuel you do not have to buy.
- Wood heat. 15 percent heat mainly with wood. Around chimneys we keep roofing, siding and insulation work to the required clearances.
