Pittsburgh, PA Home Insulation
Bruce called the Home Environment Solutions team for help insulating the attic in his home. Russ came out to the house and did an energy audit and evaluation.
The HES team arrived and got to work removing the old insulation that was not longer efficient. They began air sealing the attic and installed recessed light covers to stop warm air from escaping the living space. The next step was to air seal the rim joist in the basement and out the CleanSpace encapsulation system in with the TerraBlock floor insulation.
By dealing with the loss of warm air in the attic and the entry of cold air from the basement Bruce's home will stay more comfortable and have lower energy bills all year long.

Mold in Attic and uncomfortable upstairs in Mt. Lebanon
Joe C. called home Home Environment Solutions saying he has what he believes to be mold in his attic. He also said the upstairs of his home never seems to maintain a comfortable temperature anytime of year. We sent our expert Russ out to inspect and to perform a free home energy audit. Russ found a microbial growth in the attic and also old loose insulation that was letting air escape.
Our mold remediation crew arrived, built a containment barrier on top of the pull down stairs scuttle with 3mil plastic. Under negative pressure not to cross contaminate the rest of the home. Removed all contaminated attic insulation and discarded. Air scrubber in attic, treated microbial growth and removed discoloration from the wood sheathing and framing.
