Before & After Photos

Kathleen reached out after noticing visible mold and damp conditions in the basement, particularly around the furnace room. In homes like this, mold growth in unfinished basement areas can impact much more than just the basement itself, especially when the HVAC system is nearby.

 

When we evaluated the space, we found mold growth and contaminated materials in the furnace room area along with elevated moisture conditions contributing to the problem.

 

Our team focused on safely remediating the affected area while protecting the rest of the home from cross contamination.

 

We set up HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and containment measures to control airborne particles during the remediation process. Mold-affected materials, including pegboard and fiberglass insulation near the furnace area, were carefully removed and disposed of.

 

Next, we pressure washed and disinfected the basement surfaces using EPA-rated antimicrobial solutions designed specifically for mold remediation. We then dried the basement using professional dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers to bring humidity levels under control.

 

By cleaning the environment thoroughly and controlling moisture, we helped to restore a cleaner, healthier basement space and improve overall indoor air quality throughout the home.

 

Now the basement is clean, dry, and the musty conditions surrounding the furnace room have been eliminated.

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.
