Before & After Photos

This homeowner had a home with an attached garage. This is a pretty common set up, but what happens when the knee-wall between your garage and up-stairs bedroom is poorly insulated? That bedroom, and your house in general, is going to have a lot of trouble keeping a comfortable temperature year round (which is what this homeowner was experiencing). 

Complete Home Solutions (as our name entails) had the solution for this. We took down the old insulation (which wasn't helping to stop air leakage as it was) and used a newer method for air sealing and insulating. We applied spray foam sealant first, then 1/2" of polysio foam board insulation on top of that and sealed the edges with caulk. This would have a huge impact on the overall comfort of this homeowner! 

This homeowner called us because he was concerned about the condition in his crawl space.  He was experiencing musty odors in humid weather and extreme temperature variations through the 1st floor of his home. Our Home Comfort Specialist went out to take a look and found standing water in some areas from recent rains, moisture saturated insulation that had begun to deteriorate and fall.  Essentially the unhealthy conditions in his crawl space were affecting the indoor air quality in his home.  

Our Home Comfort Specialist recommended crawl space encapsulation, which removed the existing damaged insulation and now keeps the moisture out of the crawlspace.  The result is a home that not only smells better, but the homeowner is also breathing healthier air as a result of his recent improvements.  The homeowner is extremely happy with the results and is living more comfortably!

Attic air sealing and his insulation are critical when it comes to creating an efficient and comfortable home. Without it, you will end up working extra hard to try and heat and cool your house, all while throwing money out the window. Fortunately, Complete Home Solutions is an expert in this field and knows just what to do. For this client, we found the attic to be a major source of air leakage. How do we fix this? We set up a thermal barrier. We do this by applying caulk and spray foam to cracks and openings throughout the attic, installing soffits, and applying enough blown-in cellulose insulation to bring levels up to the BPI recommended standard. This customer now has a comfortable home where she can control how warm or cool she wants it throughout the year.   

Shakira's Crawl Space in her Waldorf, MD home was n poor shape and was beginning to affect the comfort and health of her home. She took a great first step by calling Complete Home Solutions, Southern, Maryland's leading crawl space experts. After a throughout review from our Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that a full crawl space encapsulation would solve the problems Shakira was facing.  On the day of the encapsulation, our Home Comfort Technicians began by removing the old vapor barrier and insulation from the crawl space., this provided an empty area to begin the transformation. They then installed our Clean space vapor barrier which when bolted to the walls of the crawl space creates a seal that prevents any moisture or pest from entering the crawl from below. Following the installation of the vapor barrier, our Technicians used a 2 part closed cell spray foam to insulate and seal the walls. This process restricts any air from coming through the vents or cinder blocks in the crawl. The final step of this encapsulation is to install a dehumidifier that regulates the humidity to a consistent 50-55%. These improvements will not only help the temperatures on the first floor, they will also help with air quality throughout the home as well.
