Air Seal, Attic Insulation, HVAC ducts spray foamed, TruSoft Cellulose to R60
Homeowner Jack had mold on his beams so we took care of it!
Not the pink stuff again! This customer in Burgettstown, PA was experiencing home discomfort. The upstairs of their fairly new home was hot in the summer. The air-conditioner ran continuously but just couldn't keep up! HES wasn't surprised to find the "pink stuff" in the attic. It is common for even new home builders to use this inferior insulation. Fiberglass bats don't seal wall and ceiling spaces very tight which causes air leaks. And "air leaks" are what cost you the home owner $$$.
First we romoved his fiberglass bats, and vacumed all the dirt and dust out of the attic. Next the most important part we Air Sealed all the pentration points. And last we covered his attic floor with a warm blanket of TrueSoft Cellulose Insulation.
The results speak for themselves.
Black mold was growing in the attic due poor ventilation with high humidity levels.
From inadequate and uneven to R60 all over and storage area
