Bruce called the Home Environment Solutions team for help insulating the attic in his home. Russ came out to the house and did an energy audit and evaluation.
The HES team arrived and got to work removing the old insulation that was not longer efficient. They began air sealing the attic and installed recessed light covers to stop warm air from escaping the living space. The next step was to air seal the rim joist in the basement and out the CleanSpace encapsulation system in with the TerraBlock floor insulation.
By dealing with the loss of warm air in the attic and the entry of cold air from the basement Bruce's home will stay more comfortable and have lower energy bills all year long.

Insulated the vertical wall between the upper knee wall attic and the study attic. Insulated the Adjacent Wall With SilverGlo. Air sealed and insulated Scuttle Cover. Sealed all accessible penetrations (pipe runs, wire runs, top plates (interior and exterior)with expanding polyurethane foam. Installed TruSoft cellulose on attic floor.
This Pittsburgh, PA home owner had a dust problem in her home along with cold rooms and high energy bills. Insufficient insulation allows dust to seep into your home from many different places. Home Environment Solutions removed all of this home owners old dirty insulation and air sealed all there air penetration points. Air sealing is as important as the insulation itself. This is what separates Home Environment Solutions from its competitors. Are competitors blow on top of old insulation. After the air sealing was completed we blew 17" of Tru-Soft Cellulose insulation into this home owners attic.
