Insulation Services Photo Album: Remediate mold in Shaler Pa home

Lauren from Shaler Pa called Home Environment Solutions concerned she had old growing in her attic.  Lauren says she owns an older ranch home. We sent Russ our expert out to evaluate. When Russ arrived he found microbial growth on her old batt insulation, rafters and sheeting. Lauren also wanted Russ to figure out why her home is never a comfortable temperature. Russ performed a FREE energy audit of her home and discovered it had old batt insulation, unsealed wire runs, pipes and scuttle cover.   First we sent our mold team to remediate all the microbial growth that was found in the attic. First they built a containment barrier on top of the pull down stairs scuttle with plastic. Under negative pressure to not cross contaminate the remainder of the home. They removed all old batt insulation and discarded, used surface cleaner to remove all organic contamination, Hepa vac after treatment was dry. Next the insulation team air sealed and insulated scuttle cover with silverglo and zypfoam, sealed all interior and exterior penetrations with Zypfoam and installed Trusoft cellulose to the attic floor.
