Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Jeremy found Mold in the attic of his Coraopolis home; he also knew his insulation would need removed and replaced.   Jeremy searched online and found Home Environment Solutions.  Not only could they remediate the mold they could remove and replace the insulation.   

Russ came out and did a free in home evaluation for Jeremy.  Russ sat down and went over all of the options with him and they agreed on the best way to deal with the issues.   

The HES team arrived and removed the hold dirty insulation  treated the mold damaged wood  and added air sealing and blown in Cellulous insulation.   

George from Coraopolis , Pa called Home Environment Solutions saying that no matter if she adjusts the temperature on his thermostat, his home is still cold in the winter and warm in the summer. We sent our expert Russ out to her home to perform a free home energy audit. Russ found old batt insulation, a non-insulated scuttle cover and unsealed penetrations such as wire and pipe runs.

We sent our insulation team out and they removed all the old insulation and disposed of it. Installed Silverglo along attic deck, installed titeshell over top of can lights and sealed with zipfoam. They also sealed and insulated scuttle cover, air sealed all penetrations interior and exterior and installed Trusoft cellulose.  

John from Amity Pa called saying he thinks he has mold growth in her attic. He would also like us to see what she can do to make his house more comfortable year round. We sent our expert Russell out to inspect the microbial growth and to preform a free home energy audit.  Russell found microbial growth in her attic, old  insulation, non insulated pipe, wire runs and scuttle cover. Our crew first prepared the area by building a contamination barrier to protect the remainder of the home. They removed and disposed of all the old insulation, air scrubber in the attic, used a substrate cleaner to remove all organic contamination. After the growth was remediated they insulated the scuttle and walls with Silverglo, air sealed all internal and external penetrations with Zypfoam and installed Trusoft cellulose on the attic floor.

Owner Amy H was in the process of purchasing a new home. During a routine home inspection mold was discovered in the attic.

Certified mold inspector and remediator and Certified Comfort and Energy Specialist Mark O evaluated the home.  Mark determined the mold was caused by a common problem, poor insulation and lack of proper ventilation. Mark designed a mold remediation protocol which included removal of the mold, properly ventilating the attic, and then properly air sealing and insulating the attic.

Foreman Dave P. and the certified mold removal team properly removed all of the microbial growth in the attic leaving a healthy environment.  

Foreman Mike Y. and his team air sealed the attic and properly insulated with cellulose insulation to an average of R60 for optimum results. The HVAC ducts located in the attic were spray foamed to air seal and insulate.

The owners were ecstatic with the results! They reported back that in August the home was the same temperature throughout and the cooling bill was half the cost of the home they just moved from that was significantly smaller.

Air Sealing in the attic is generally a challenging project, but the benefits can be substantial.  Air sealing is the technique of plugging your attics air leaks. Using spray foam and other techniques we seal all the air leaks up before blowing in the insulation.  Air sealing in the attic is just as important as the insulation itself.
