Before & After Photos

Wael called in and requested an estimate for some work to be done in his attic. He was suspecting that there were some drafts in his upstairs area and after Ben, our Home Comfort Specialist, checked it out and confirmed his suspicions, gave Wael an estimate for the work. After he considered a couple other estimates from other companies, he concluded that we had the best offer and agreed to use Complete Home Solutions to fix his uncomfortable home! We sent out our Home Comfort Technicians, Alex, Carlos, and Joe to prep the attic by air sealing the top plates before we install new insulation in the attic. Most air leakage into the attic comes from top plates within the attic, so blocking them should solve the draft within the upstairs area. After the attic is prepped, the insulation truck comes and installs new blown-in cellulose insulation. 

Wael has reported that his issue has been resolved and his upstairs area feels much more comfortable!

A homeowner in LaPlata, Maryland called Complete Home Solutions with the complaint of a drafty and chilly home. We sent our Auditor to investigate the source of the problem. It was determined that the cause of the drafts was inssufficient insulation in our attic.

Our Production Team sealed in the attic with spray foam insulation to keep out drafts making the home warmer and more energy efficient.

The homeowners of this house in La Plata, MD had suffered from cold floors all winter and uncomfortable temperatures in the home. The homeowners called Complete Home Solutions to find the sourse of the problems. Our Auditor went to the home in La Plata and determined that the source of the problem was moisture in the crawl space that was causing the insulation to sag away from the floor and become ineffective. Our Production Team went into the home and sealed the crawl space. They used plastic to seal the floor to prevent moisture from seeping into the crawl space and removed the old insulation and replaced it before sealing the insulation off seperate from the floor to keep the air from the home from seeping through any cracks in the floor or gaps in the insulation.

This homeowner living in La Plata, Maryland did not thinking that her home was acting as energy efficiently as it should have been. She wanted a professional to show her how she could improve. She was introduced to Complete Home Solutions who provided her with a home energy audit. 

Two of the bigger improvements that we were able to make for her house were air sealing and insulating the attic with loose fill cellulose insulation. We also weatherstripped around the doors and windows and made a few other minor improvements. We did what the homeowner wanted and really increased the energy efficiency of this home. 

When we at Complete Home Solutions look at an attic like this, we see some major issues. The biggest one is the lack of air sealing. When we look at the floors and walls we should be seeing some form of air sealing...we don't. We should also see an attic filled with at least 16 inches of good insulation... we don't see that either. Instead, what we see is a home that is wasting its energy and money trying to reach a comfortable temperature. By air sealing and blowing in cellulose insulation, we were able to correct these problems and deliver a comfortable house to a much happier family.
