Before & After Photos

Matt and Lori, in Chester, WV, called with concerns about their access, insulation, and air escaping around the chimney in the attic space. Our home energy expert, Russ, provided them with solutions for to resolve these issues. Our team removed and disposed of existing insulation and prepared the work space for the installation of fresh, clean insulation. A SuperPlatform Catwalk was installed, made of 4" SilverGlo and 3/8" OSB boards to secure a walkway, while providing vertical retention dams as needed to hold blown-in insulation. They also enlarged and insulated the scuttle hatch cover with ZypFoam and SilverGlo fasteners, for easier access to the attic space equipment. Baffles were installed along the perimeter and Zypfoam was used anywhere air was penetrating the exterior walls and the top plate. The team wrapped up by wrapping the chimney with Rockwool and sealed with Fire Caulk. 

Lewis contacted us because his two-story home was drafty, uncomfortable, and costing too much to heat and cool. On top of that, rodents had contaminated the attic, which needed to be cleaned and handled properly to protect the home’s air quality.

Our team removed rodent contamination and fully disinfected and sanitized the attic. We then air-sealed and insulated the attic, encapsulated the ductwork to stop air loss, installed an insulated scuttle cover, and sealed top plates to tighten the home’s envelope.

Now, Lewis’s home is cleaner, healthier, and much more comfortable. Temperatures are stable throughout the house, energy bills are lower, and the attic space is properly sealed and protected going forward.

From inadequate and uneven to R60 all over and storage area

Sandy needed help with the heating bills in her home in Middlesex, PA.   Russ from Home Environment Solutions came out and discovered the problem right away!   Her attic had very little insulation and was just an empty space letting heat escape.   

The HES team arrived and Zach and Cameron got to work.   The firs thing they did was air seal the attic with ZypFoam.  The next thing was to install a scuttle cover made from SilverGlo rigid foam to air seal the attic hatch.   Lastly the team installed TruSoft Cellulose insulation to insulate the attic.   

Now that Sandy's home is air sealed and insulated her warm air will stop escaping keeping her home warm and her energy bill low.
