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. 

Carl wanted to tackle two issues affecting his home: mold in the basement and uncomfortable temperatures upstairs. While these problems may seem unrelated, they often have the same underlying cause; uncontrolled airflow and moisture moving throughout the home.

When we evaluated the property, we found moisture-related conditions in the basement that had led to mold growth, along with air leakage in the attic that was allowing conditioned air to escape and making the second floor harder to keep comfortable.

Our team addressed both concerns as part of one complete home performance solution.

We professionally remediated the mold in the basement to restore a cleaner, healthier environment. In the attic, we sealed air leaks, sealed top plates, and insulated the attic access opening to reduce energy loss and strengthen the home's thermal boundary.

By controlling moisture below the home and stopping air leakage above it, we improved how the entire house performs as a system.

Now the basement is cleaner, the upstairs stays more comfortable throughout the year, and the home is better protected against future energy loss and moisture-related issues.

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.
