Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Christine called Home Environment Solutions to have an energy audit done on her McKees Rock home.  Russ took a look in her attic to find areas of heat loss.    He found old insulation that was inadequate to stop the heat loss.  

The HES team arrived and removed the old Insulation.  They then air sealed the attic paying special attention to the canister lights.  After the attic was air sealed the team blew in Cellulous and Silverglo foam insulation.   

Not only will Christine's home be more energy efficient, it will be more comfortable for her and her family.  

Jeff was having trouble with the gutters on his home in Eighty Four, PA. He called Gutter Shutter by Home Environment Solutions to find information about the Gutter Shutter system. Our consultant, Russ went out and provided a free estimate. Russ explained the benefits of the Gutter Shutter system including the lifetime no-clog warranty. The Gutter Shutter by Home Environment Solutions team arrived and got to work installing the new gutters along with the wide mouth downspouts and the valley controllers to redirect water.

Look closely at this 2x8 joist, see that white splotchy stuff? Well that's mold, mold can come in many colors and shapes. Sometimes its furry or fuzzy and other times it's not. This Bradford Woods, PA homeowner made the right decision when he called the mold experts at Home Environment Solutions. Mold can cause a wide range of health problems and if not properly removed, will grow back.  Our certified mold professionals use the most up-to-date tools and take all the precautions to keep you and your family safe.  

Recessed lighting, like any other opening in the ceiling, is a potential site for energy loss.  Not only do recessed can lights leak air, but warm light bulbs also make the situation worse turning the holes into small chimneys. The heat source accelerates the stack effect, speeding up the flow of air through the light and into your attic - air you paid to heat! That is exactly what was occurring in this Bradford Woods home.

The cans recessed into the attic are large and take up a lot of space, space that for safety reasons insulation can't be blown right up against them.  

Home Environment Solutions has a solution for this problem.  We use TiteShell Can Light Covers to stop airflow and energy loss through the fixture.  It also allows insulation to be blown right up against the covers, creating a air tight seal, which stops the flow of air back into your attic.
