Photo Album: Canonsburg home make more comfortable year round
Evan called from Canonsburg Pa called Home Environment Solutions saying that he would like to make an appointment for someone to determine why his upstairs stays warm in the summer and colder in the winter. So we sent our expert Russ to his home to perform a free home energy audit. When Russ arrived he found old rock wool loose insulation, unsealed pipe and wire runs and no insulation on the scuttle cover.
Our insulation team removed all the old rock wool insulation and disposed of it. Air sealed and insulated scuttle cover with Silverglo. Installed a layer Of 4'' SilverGlo along attic deck then covered with 3/8'' board. Sealed chimney chase with metal flashing, fire caulk and wrapped with rock wool sleeve. Air sealed attic assembly and all accessible penetrations with Zypfoam. Installed Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.
