Before & After Photos

After removing debris are production team installs drainage matting.  Next they cover the drainage matting with CleanSpace Lining.  

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. 

Our insulation team removed and covered whole house fan, air sealed all penetrations with Zypfoam, insulated scuttle cover with Silverglo and air sealed, installed Silverglo foam board insulation and blown in Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.

Rebecca wanted to lower her energy bills and eliminate the drafts moving through her two-story home. She also needed better attic access so the space could be used safely and serviced when needed.

Our team air sealed with ZypFoam and insulated the attic with SilverGlo rigid foam, installed an insulated scuttle cover, and closed up air leaks around wiring, top plates, and fixtures. We also improved the attic access and added insulation upgrades that help keep warm air inside during winter and block heat from entering during summer.

Now, Rebecca’s home feels more comfortable in every season, uses less energy, and has a safer, more functional attic access.

Insulation was old and deteriorating.  Knee walls were not insulated causing cold air to penetrate through the upstairs living space.  We  insulated with TruSoft Cellulose and used High Density SilverGlo to insulate. Creating a much warmer/cooler upstairs for the bedrooms.

Joshua reached out because his home had cold floors, high energy bills, and noticeable drafts; especially on the first floor. Even without major temperature swings upstairs, the lower level just didn’t feel comfortable.

When we evaluated the home, we found that the issue wasn’t isolated to one area. Air was leaking from the attic and being pulled in from lower areas like the basement, creating a continuous cycle of airflow through the home. Our team focused on controlling that airflow from top to bottom.

We sealed attic air leaks, insulated the attic access, and addressed chimney-related leakage. We also improved attic usability and insulation coverage to make sure the system performs consistently. At the same time, we insulated and sealed the rim joists in the basement, one of the biggest sources of cold air infiltration that leads to drafty floors. By addressing both the attic and basement, we stopped the airflow loop that was causing the drafts.

Now the basement and first floor feels warmer, drafts have been reduced, and the home holds temperature much more effectively; which will reduce energy consumption.
