Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Jan called Home environment solutions saying her upstairs stays cool in the winter and warm in the summer. We sent Russ to her home to perform a free home energy audit. Russ found loose insulation, unsealed scuttle and multiple unsealed electrical and pipe runs.

When our insulation team arrived first they removed all the old batt insulation and disposed of it.

Air sealed and insulated the Scuttle cover, sealed the chimney chase with metal flashing, fire caulk and wrapped with rock wool sleeve .Constructed an air-tight cap over top of open soffit and sealed with ZypFoam  polyurethane foam. Air sealed all accessible penetrations interior and exterior. Installed Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.

Greta contacted Home Environment Solutions to help with some major renovations on her Jewett, Ohio home.  Russ arrived for the free in home evaluation and learned that Greta wanted mold remediated in her unfinished basement, the air ducts cleaned, and new insulation to increase the homes energy efficiency.   

The HES team arrived and got to work setting up air scrubbers in the work area and remediating the mold on all of the surfaces with a disinfectant solution that the EPA approved for mold.    The affected carpet and drywall was removed and disposed of.   Next a SaniDry dehumidification system was installed.    

Upstairs the existing insulation was removed form the attic.  The attic was then air sealed and insulated with cellulose.  A David Lewis Hatch Cover was installed along with a storage deck insulated with SilverGlo foam insulation.   Each of the homes recessed lighting fixtures were given a TiteShell cover and air sealed to stop heat loss.   

Greta's home is now ready for her to enjoy.  

This Weirton, WV home has a poorly insulated knee wall, causing drafts and high energy bills. Home Environment Solutions insulated the walls with Silver-Glo, making it more efficient and a lot more attractive. 

Owner John K. of Weirton, WV called us to improve the comfort in the upstairs of his home and he wanted to use his attic for additional storage.

Certified Comfort and Energy Specialist Mark O. designed a solution to improve the comfort and provide storage.

Foreman Mike Y. and his team air sealed the attic and properly insulated with cellulose insulation to R60 for optimum results. In addition, we built a large storage area in the attic using SilverGlo and plywood. The stairs from the living area to the attic were framed and covered with a David Lewis Hatch Cover to prevent the hostile air from the attic from entering the living environment. In the basement the team insulated the rim joist with SilverGlo insulation and foam insulation.

The owner was very pleased with the storage and has noticed a big difference in comfort.
