Insulation Services Before & After Photos

George saw the ad for Home Environment Solutions in the Clipper Magazine and called to schedule a free in home energy efficiently audit for his Pittsburgh, PA home.   Russ arrived and got to work looking for ways to make George's home more comfortable and economical.  Russ found that the upstairs in George's home was never comfortable.  Either too hot in the summer or to cold in the winter.   

The HES team arrived and got to work.   They removed the old inefficient attic insulation and began air sealing.  Next, TiteShell covers were installed over the recess lighting and SilverGlo foam insulation was used on the attic decking.   The final phase was blowing in the cellulous insulation.   George's home will now be more comfortable all year round and cost less to heat and cool.   

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.   

Joe C. called home Home Environment Solutions saying he has what he believes to be mold in his attic. He also said the upstairs of his home never seems to maintain a comfortable temperature anytime of year. We sent our expert Russ out to inspect and to perform a free home energy audit. Russ found a microbial growth in the attic and also old loose insulation that was letting air escape.

Our mold remediation crew arrived, built a containment barrier on top of the pull down stairs scuttle with 3mil plastic. Under negative pressure not to cross contaminate the rest of the home. Removed all contaminated attic insulation and discarded. Air scrubber in attic, treated microbial growth and removed discoloration from the wood sheathing and framing. 

Our insulation team removed and covered whole house fan, air sealed all penetrations with Zypfoam, insulated scuttle cover with Silverglo and air sealed, installed Silverglo foam board insulation and blown in Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.

Rebecca wanted to lower her energy bills and eliminate the drafts moving through her two-story home. She also needed better attic access so the space could be used safely and serviced when needed.

Our team air sealed with ZypFoam and insulated the attic with SilverGlo rigid foam, installed an insulated scuttle cover, and closed up air leaks around wiring, top plates, and fixtures. We also improved the attic access and added insulation upgrades that help keep warm air inside during winter and block heat from entering during summer.

Now, Rebecca’s home feels more comfortable in every season, uses less energy, and has a safer, more functional attic access.

Insulation was old and deteriorating.  Knee walls were not insulated causing cold air to penetrate through the upstairs living space.  We  insulated with TruSoft Cellulose and used High Density SilverGlo to insulate. Creating a much warmer/cooler upstairs for the bedrooms.
