Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

This customer clearly had a mold problem.  A broken steam pipe caused this mess.  Mark O. and his Mold Remediation team to the rescue! If left unattended this dangerous variety of mold would have caused rot and health concerns for this home owner.  Problem fixed and Mold Remediated, another awesome job by Home Environment Solutions.  

This Weirton homeowner contacted Home Environment Solutions when they noticed mold growing on wood paneling in their basement.  Rain water leaked through the foundation onto the concrete floor and was wicked up by the wood paneling. Moisture and organic materials (wood) is the recipe for mold.  If this homeowner didn't contact Home Environment Solutions when they did, this wood paneling would've rotted and needed replaced. The baseboard had to be removed, rot had already started. 

Air Sealing and TruSoft Cellulose

Before: The attic had old fiberglass insulation that was installed incorrectly and wasn’t nearly enough R value for the attic.  The attic had many large open voids that were allowing the conditioned air in the home to escape.  The HVAC system in the attic had many ducts and branches that were under insulated and leaking. 

After: We removed all of the inefficient fiberglass insulation and discarded it.  Next the added framing and plywood in the attic to fill all of the large voids that were part of the original construction.  All of the holes, cracks and penetrations in the attic that were allowing the air from the living space to escape were air sealed. Install TruSoft PVC soffit baffle system along the perimeter of the soffit for proper ventilation and to prevent insulation from migrating into the soffit. The ducts in the attic were all repaired and insulated.  Finally TruSoft Cellulose insulation was blown in throughout to and R-Value of R60.
