Home owners Donald and Ginny had comfort issues in their home. The told Mark that they had already insulated their attic the year before and they thought the needed insulation in their walls. Mark did a full inspection of their home and attic and discovered that the insulation has been incorrectly installed in their attic which caused a severe moisture problem and resulted in attic mold.
Our Certified Mold Remediators came and removed the attic mold and all of the improperly installed insulation. Following the remediation crew leader Mike Y and his team properly air sealed the entire attic and insulated to R60 with TruSoft Cellulose insulation.
The end result was a healthy home that is much more comfortable and efficient and very happy home owners.
Out with the old and in with the new! Our production team removed the old fiberglass insulation and air sealed the Washington PA attic. Air sealing is as important as the insulation. Last they blew in 17" of TrueSoft Cellulose insulation.
Don from Washington Pa called Home environment solutions saying that his upstairs is always cold in the winter and warm in the summer. So we sent our expert out to preform a free home energy audit. Russ found old batt insulation, an unsealed or insulated scuttle cover and unsealed penetrations such as pipe runs, wire runs which lets air escape.
Installed TiteShell recessed light fixture cover over top of can light and sealed with ZypFoam polyurethane foam around edge and any holes made for electrical wires. Installed SilverGlo on wall and between floor joists as needed. Wrapped skylights in 2" SilverGlo to air seal and insulate. Insulated the vertical wall between the upper knee wall attic and the study attic. Insulated the Adjacent Wall With SilverGlo. Air sealed and insulated Scuttle Cover. Sealed all accessible penetrations (pipe runs, wire runs, top plates (interior and exterior)with expanding polyurethane foam. Installed TruSoft cellulose on attic floor.
Susan contacted us because her single-story home was drafty, energy bills were higher than expected, and the garage was uncomfortable — hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Air loss through attic protrusions was allowing conditioned air to escape and making temperature control difficult.
Our team sealed and insulated the attic, tightened up air leaks around attic penetrations, sealed top plates, and encapsulated ductwork to reduce air and heat loss. These improvements helped keep conditioned air inside the home and stabilized temperatures in the garage.
Now, Susan’s home is more comfortable year-round, energy costs are lower, and the garage stays at a much more consistent temperature.
Justin reached out because his single-story home had cold floors, drafty rooms, and higher energy bills than expected. Even though insulation was already present, it wasn’t performing properly. Missing baffles and air leaks in the attic were allowing heat and conditioned air to escape.
Our team upgraded the insulation rating from R19 to R49 and tightened up air leaks throughout the attic floor. We also insulated the scuttle cover and sealed top plates to keep conditioned air inside the living space.
Now, Justin’s home feels more comfortable from room to room, drafts have been eliminated, and energy costs are noticeably lower thanks to a tighter, better-performing attic system.
