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.
Did you know it wasn't common practice for home builders to put insulation in walls prior to circa 1980? After 1980 states started enhancing building codes that required insulation in exterior walls.
This Canonsburg homeowner was experiencing loud road noise outside his home along with high energy bills.
After doing a free full home evaluation HES developed a plan to solve this home owners issues. Turns out he had no insulation in his walls. And this is why he was experiencing loud road noise from the nearby highway.
To solve this issue we had to remove some of his siding and cut holes into his exterior walls. Next we insert are tube and dense pack using TrueSoft Cellulose Insulation. We packed the cellulose inside his walls so tight that we guaranteed no settling. Most companies and the blowers you rent can't guarantee this. Last, the production team plugs the holes and reattaches the siding like nothing ever happened.
This homeowner instantaneously noticed the sound level difference! Another job well done by HES!
Home Owner Charles C. found Black Mold in his attic so he called us to remediate (remove) it.
Sherry from Canonsburg, PA called HES to upgrade the Insulation on her attic.
Home Environment Solutions installed SilverGlo insulation board and blown in cellulose insulation.
Removed old rolled fiberblass insulation form Canonsburg Home. Air sealed the attic, installed Tightshell can light covers and blown in insulation.
