Before & After Photos

Evan called from Canonsburg Pa called Home Environment Solutions saying that he would like to make an appointment for someone to determine why his upstairs stays warm in the summer and colder in the winter.  So we sent our expert Russ to his home to perform a free home energy audit. When Russ arrived he found old rock wool loose  insulation, unsealed pipe and wire runs and no insulation on the scuttle cover. 

 

Our insulation team removed all the old rock wool insulation and disposed of it. Air sealed and insulated scuttle cover with Silverglo. Installed a layer Of 4'' SilverGlo along attic deck then covered with 3/8'' board. Sealed chimney chase with metal flashing, fire caulk and wrapped with rock wool sleeve. Air sealed attic assembly and all accessible penetrations with Zypfoam.  Installed Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.

This homeowner had strong odors coming from her crawlspace as well as called floors above in the winter. We removed all of the underperforming fiberglass insulation and cleaned out all of the tutor causing debris. Next we insulated and encapsulated the crawlspace. Finally we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the humidity at a safe level. The owners reported back that they are amazed at what a huge difference it made in their home. The nasty others are gone and the floors are warm in the winter! Success!

        Brian called Home Environment Solutions to help improve the comfort in his Bridgeville, PA home.   The Home Environment Solutions team arrived and got to work.   

The attic had old insulation that was not installed well.   This was causing heat loss making the home uncomfortable and expensive.   The attic was air sealed including constructing a cap for the kitchen soffit to stop air and heat loss.   An Attic deck was built and insulated with SilverGlo and then adding a thick layer of blown in cellulous.
