Before & After Photos

Angelo reached out after noticing a musty odor and visible mold in his attic. In addition to the mold concerns, the upstairs of the home experienced hot and cold temperature swings, making it uncomfortable throughout the year.

Our team addressed the problem at the source. We performed professional mold remediation in the attic, disinfecting and treating the affected areas. Contaminated materials were properly removed, and the attic was thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

While completing the remediation, we also upgraded the attic system to improve performance. We sealed and insulated the attic, encapsulated the duct system to reduce energy loss, dense-packed insulation where needed, installed insulation dams, sealed top plates, and improved attic access by installing a new pull-down ladder. These improvements also created better attic storage and safer access for future use.

With the mold eliminated and the attic properly sealed and insulated, Angelo’s home now smells clean, the upstairs temperatures are more stable, and overall energy performance has improved.

John from Amity Pa called saying he thinks he has mold growth in her attic. He would also like us to see what she can do to make his house more comfortable year round. We sent our expert Russell out to inspect the microbial growth and to preform a free home energy audit.  Russell found microbial growth in her attic, old  insulation, non insulated pipe, wire runs and scuttle cover. Our crew first prepared the area by building a contamination barrier to protect the remainder of the home. They removed and disposed of all the old insulation, air scrubber in the attic, used a substrate cleaner to remove all organic contamination. After the growth was remediated they insulated the scuttle and walls with Silverglo, air sealed all internal and external penetrations with Zypfoam and installed Trusoft cellulose on the attic floor.

John reached out because his single-story home was experiencing cold floors, drafty rooms, and visible mold in the attic. The cathedral ceilings made the comfort issues more noticeable, allowing heat to escape in the winter and making certain areas feel less comfortable overall.

Our team started by safely remediating the mold in the attic. We treated and sanitized the affected areas to restore a clean environment and prevent further contamination.

Once the attic was properly remediated, we focused on tightening up the home’s thermal boundary. We sealed and insulated the attic, sealed attic penetrations, sealed top plates, addressed chimney-related air leakage, sealed soffit areas, and insulated the attic access. These improvements stopped conditioned air from escaping and reduced drafts throughout the home.

With the mold eliminated and the attic properly sealed, John’s home now feels warmer, less drafty, and more comfortable. The attic is clean and safe, and the home performs more efficiently year-round.

Owner Amy H was in the process of purchasing a new home. During a routine home inspection mold was discovered in the attic.

Certified mold inspector and remediator and Certified Comfort and Energy Specialist Mark O evaluated the home.  Mark determined the mold was caused by a common problem, poor insulation and lack of proper ventilation. Mark designed a mold remediation protocol which included removal of the mold, properly ventilating the attic, and then properly air sealing and insulating the attic.

Foreman Dave P. and the certified mold removal team properly removed all of the microbial growth in the attic leaving a healthy environment.  

Foreman Mike Y. and his team air sealed the attic and properly insulated with cellulose insulation to an average of R60 for optimum results. The HVAC ducts located in the attic were spray foamed to air seal and insulate.

The owners were ecstatic with the results! They reported back that in August the home was the same temperature throughout and the cooling bill was half the cost of the home they just moved from that was significantly smaller.

Air Sealing in the attic is generally a challenging project, but the benefits can be substantial.  Air sealing is the technique of plugging your attics air leaks. Using spray foam and other techniques we seal all the air leaks up before blowing in the insulation.  Air sealing in the attic is just as important as the insulation itself.
