Greta contacted Home Environment Solutions to help with some major renovations on her Jewett, Ohio home. Russ arrived for the free in home evaluation and learned that Greta wanted mold remediated in her unfinished basement, the air ducts cleaned, and new insulation to increase the homes energy efficiency.
The HES team arrived and got to work setting up air scrubbers in the work area and remediating the mold on all of the surfaces with a disinfectant solution that the EPA approved for mold. The affected carpet and drywall was removed and disposed of. Next a SaniDry dehumidification system was installed.
Upstairs the existing insulation was removed form the attic. The attic was then air sealed and insulated with cellulose. A David Lewis Hatch Cover was installed along with a storage deck insulated with SilverGlo foam insulation. Each of the homes recessed lighting fixtures were given a TiteShell cover and air sealed to stop heat loss.
Greta's home is now ready for her to enjoy.

Father Jim called us to improve the energy efficiency of an almost 100 year old Church.
Certified Comfort and Energy Specialist Mark O. designed several solutions to improve the energy efficiency and extend the life of the HVAC systems.
Foreman Mike Y. and his team air sealed the attic and properly insulated with cellulose insulation to R60 for optimum results. All six HVAC systems were thoroughly cleaned and all of the ductwork was spray foamed to insulate and prevent the conditioned air from being lost in the attic.
The end result was a more efficient building.
This Toronto, OH customer had heating and cooling ducts in his Attic. In the summer time temperatures in the attic would reach well over a 100 degrees, making his air conditioner work extra to keep the house cool. Using spray foam we added several inches of insulation to his ducts. Increasing the amount of insulation on your ducts in the attic will extend the life of your air conditioner and lower your energy cost but more importantly keep you cool in the summer!
The crawl space above was underneath an over 100 year old Victorian home. When Home Environment Solutions first entered the home it wasn't safe for children or adults. The mold spore count in this homes air was at dangerous levels. As air leaks out of the attic it is replaced with air that enters through the basement, this is known as the stack effect. This means that the majority of air in this persons home was coming from their crawl space. This is why its so important to have your crawl space encapsulated.
After removing the mold from this home, Home Environment Solutions encapsulated their crawl space using CleanSpace lining. The lining prevents any future moisture from entering into the crawl space. The process involves closing crawl space vents and insulating the walls. Call Home Environment Solutions today for your free estimate.
The end results are a safe clean space for your family. Protect your largest investment, protect your family, have your crawl space encapsulated today!
