Make upstairs of Wheeling Wv home cooler in the summer.
Elaine called from Wheeling Wv called Home Environment Solutions saying her upstairs of her home stays warm in the summer even if she turns the temperature down on her A/C. We set her up with an appointment with Russell to preform a free home energy audit. When Russ arrived he found old loose batt insulation, uninsulated wire and pipe runs and an uninsulated scuttle cover.
Our insulation team removed and disposed of all the old insulation, insulated the scuttle cover with Silverglo, sealed chimney chase with metal flashing, fire caulk and wrapped with rock wool sleeve. Constructed an air tight cap over top of soffit with Zypfoam. Trusoft Cellulose on attic floor.
Flood Clean up
Local Business in Newell, WV had a major floor. The Home Environment Solutions team was able to restore and clean up the damages
Wellsburg WV Attic Insulation
Owners Josh and Sydney called us to improve the comfort and efficiency of their 130 year old home.
Upon inspection many deficiencies were discovered including very inadequate insulation, large air gaps and over 100 years of dirt and pest droppings.
Foreman Mike Y. and his team first removed all of the insulation, dirt and debris out of the attic. Next they air sealed the attic and properly insulated with cellulose insulation to R60 to give the optimum results.
Wellsburg, WV Crawl Space Insulation and Encapsulation
In a crawl space, fiberglass insulation tends to absorb moisture, which causes it to lose R-value and fall out of place, rendering it totally ineffective while also creating a mess. To keep moisture from entering the space, we installed drainage matting and the CleanSpace vapor barrier above it. On the walls we used SilverGlo Wall Insulation. After we repaired and waterproofed the crawl space, the owners never had to worry about crawl space humidity and energy loss again!
Wellsburg WV Crawl Space Encapsulation
The owner Virginia P called us after finding us online. They had a moisture problem and a musty smell in their home they couldn’t figure out.
Mark O evaluated the home. He discovered a vented crawl space below most of the home to be the problem. During Marks inspection he also discovered some wood rot and very high humidity in the wet crawl space. Mark had solutions to resolve the homes moisture problems and musty odors.
Foreman Mike Y, installers Craig C. and Jeff W. installed and air sealed SilverGlo insulation on the walls and in the rim joist followed by CleanSpace Liner throughout the crawl space.
The end result was a dry crawlspace, normal humidity throughout the home and the musty odors are gone
