Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Black mold was growing in the attic due poor ventilation with high humidity levels. 

Donna from Burgettstown Pa called Home Environment Solutions saying she thinks she has mold growth in her crawlspace. We sent our expert Russell out to inspect the microbial growth.  Russell found microbial growth in her  crawlspace. Our crew first removed and disposed of all the old contaminated insulation, air scrubber  used a substrate cleaner to remove all organic contamination. 

A few years ago Matthew, a homeowner in Industry, PA, called a local business to install screens on his gutters. The company assured him that these screens would stop the clogging and draining problems he had been having. Unfortunately, the problems continued. This summer, Matthew decided to fix the problem once and for all. He did his research and found Gutter Shutter by Home Environment Solutions and the Gutter Shutter system. The final selling point was the Lifetime No Clog Warranty. Matthew called and scheduled the evaluation that same day.   

Jake reached out because his two-story home was uncomfortable year-round. Floors felt cold, energy bills were high, and the upstairs never seemed to stay comfortable. The biggest issue was a home addition that was extremely hot in the summer and cold in the winter, making it hard to use, consistently.

After evaluating the home, our team focused on tightening up the attic and addressing major air and heat loss points. We sealed the attic, tightened top plates and penetrations, upgraded insulation levels, and built proper insulation dams to keep materials in place. We also insulated and air sealed the attic access, sealed recessed lighting leaks, and wrapped the chimney area for safety and efficiency.

These upgrades helped balance temperatures throughout the home; especially in the addition. Jake now enjoys lower energy costs, fewer drafts, and a much more comfortable living space in every season.

Chris and Laura reached out because their single-story home had cold floors, drafty rooms, and uncomfortable temperature swings, especially with cathedral ceilings. On top of that, rodent droppings in the attic needed to be addressed to protect indoor air quality.

Our team started by disinfecting and sanitizing the attic, safely removing rodent contamination to restore a clean environment. Once the attic was properly treated, we focused on strengthening the home’s thermal boundary. We sealed attic air leaks, dense-packed insulation where needed, upgraded insulation levels, sealed top plates and chimney areas, installed insulation dams, and insulated the attic access opening. We also improved attic storage and access so the space is easier and safer to use moving forward.

Now, the home is cleaner, more energy efficient, and noticeably more comfortable. Drafts are reduced, floors feel warmer, cathedral ceiling areas perform better, and the attic is sanitized and properly sealed.
