Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Deale, Maryland had a very serious problem..their crawl space. The lining was old and damaged, the insulation was falling out of the ceiling, and there were air leaks everywhere. This means that he was losing energy, and more importantly money, trying to keep his house warm. Air from the outside was able to freely move into his house from the crawl space area. Lucky for him, Complete Home Solutions was able to fix this!

We gave the homeowner a Home Energy Audit to let him know what we could do to upgrade his crawl space. We ended up taking out all the old insulation, sealing up the vents and penetrations into the crawl space, and performing our CleanSpace Encapsulation. This made a huge difference! The homeowner didn't have to fight to keep his house warm anymore (and the air that the family was breathing in was much cleaner and healthier).

This homeowner had a very nasty crawl space living under his house. Nasty crawl spaces can lead to a number of problems. In the wintertime, cold air swoops in and up into your living area, bringing all of that dirty bacteria and VOCs with it. In the summertime, humidity builds up under there and seeps into the house (potentially leading to mold, structural problems, etc). We can fix this by sealing off the crawl space. We do this by installing a vapor barrier across the floor and applying spray foam insulation all along the walls and any openings. This client now has a cleaner, healthier home.

Jim called Complete Home Solutions to address the humidity and comfort issues in his one-story Deale, MD home. Along with a full crawl space encapsulation, our Home Comfort Specialist also recommended applying our 2 part closed cell spray foam to the exposed floor joist underneath an addition to the home. Applying this spray foam will create a solid barrier that will restrict air from making its way into the home through any seams or cracks in the wood or allowing external temperatures to affect the floor above directly. On installation day our Home Comfort Technicians removed all of the old insulation that had been damaged due to humidity issues before applying the new spray foam. Jim noticed an immediate difference in the temperature of his floors and cant wait to see the difference it will make in the humid summer months.

After moving into her home in Deale, MD last year, Karen had a Home Energy Audit conducted by Complete Home Solutions to determine how energy efficient the house was. Following the Audit, our Home Comfort Specialist found several areas of the home that could be enhanced to improve home efficiency and home comfort.  Carrie followed all of the recommendations and began to chip away at each project. Our crew began by first fully encapsulating her crawl space. They then installed a new mini-split HVAC system, and the final improvement was to properly air seal and insulate the attic. As you can see above the attic had old fiberglass batt insulation that was well below current standards to keep the home properly insulated. To fix the comfort issues our crew began by pulling back the old insulation and air sealing any recessed light covers, top plates, and cracks in the drywall then blew in a fresh layer of cellulose insulation to give this home a proper 16 inches of insulation. By air sealing it prevents any conditioned air from escaping the living space of your home, and adding insulation creates a 16in barrier between the attic temperature and the rest of your home.

Karen's home has now been properly insulated and sealed from top to bottom. These steps will help keep her home comfortable all year round, and also help her HVAC system run less, saving money on monthly utility bills.

This homeowner was having some issues with her roof leaking. She got the roof fixed, but some of her insulation in the attic got wet and damaged. She wanted a reliable contractor to come and fix her problem. She found Complete Home Solutions. 

Not only were we able to replace the damaged insulation, but we also air sealed any cavities and penetrations that we found, installed a Super Platform Catwalk/ Insulation Dam (so that the owner can access her HVAC system and walk around), and installed more of our TruSoft cellulose insulation, bringing insulation levels to R-49 (the BPI standard for our climate zone). This homeowner now has a dry attic and a more energy efficient home.
