The homeowner had contacted us with concerns of their flooring being loose and soft, when we went into the crawl we saw the floors had been rotted and covered in mold. This is a very common occurrence here as we deal with a lot of humidity. That humid air gets trapped in the crawl space, having nowhere to go but up! This causes the floors of your home to sag and rot. Luckily we were able to help this home, create an encapsulated space in their crawl, and help replace their flooring. An encapsulated crawlspace with a sump pump and dehumidifier will make sure that issues like these will not happen again.
This homeowner in Loris was experiencing uncomfortable rooms in both winter and summer caused by their poorly insulated attic. Poorly insulated attics can have numerous effects on the efficiency of your home, resulting in high energy bills and drafty and hot/cold rooms. They asked neighbors about their insulation and if their attic was insulated. They all had insulated attics and they recommended Carolina Energy Conservation to come to their home for a FREE inspection.
Carolina Energy Conservation easily solved this problem by first sealing all the air gaps then installing the fiberglass insulation. With these simple fixes the homeowner will see quick results in both their energy bills and the comfort of their home.

Upgrading insulation
Removal of insulation and blown in cellulose
This single family home in Market Common was built in 2003. This home had blown insulation that was up to code (code means the minimum). Carolina Energy Conservation took out the old insulation and removed it from the property. We then came in to blow in new cellulose insulation. This insulation is made of recycled newspapers and treated with a special chemical that keeps the bugs and critters away. Before the new insulation was blown in the team sealed all of the can lights and electrical penetrations. After the blown in cellulose the homeowner reported the home was much more comfortable and he wished he had done this sooner.
