When Breen reached out, their single-story home was drafty, the energy bills were climbing, and the kitchen and ceiling areas were letting heat slip right out. They wanted the home to stay comfortable year-round without overworking the HVAC system.
Our crew got to work sealing and insulating the attic and kitchen soffit, upgrading the cathedral ceiling insulation, and prepping the chimney and attic spaces to eliminate leaks. We also sealed top plates and attic penetrations to stop heated and cooled air from escaping.
Now, Breen’s home feels more balanced and comfortable through every season, with fewer drafts and lower energy costs; a big win for comfort and efficiency!
This single family home in Wheeling, WV has a crawl space under the entire span of the home. When our team began the job, the crawl space was vented and had a dirt floor creating humidity and mold issues as well as uncomfortable temperatures in the living space above.
Our Home Environment Solutions team went in and insulated the walls, installed vent covers and encapsulated the entire crawl space.
This family now has comfortable temperatures in their living spaces and humidity levels that do not promote mold growth, creating a healthier, safer home.

Wheeling, WV homeowner Amy L. built her home with a crawlspace underneath it. Crawlspaces are a common method builders use to hide electrical and HVAC work. Crawlspace science has changed considerable over the years. Crawlspaces are normally known as dark, damp, and smelly places under a home. This is because outdated building codes permitted crawlspaces to be ventilated. We know today that this isn't the ideal solution. We close the vents and insulate the walls using SilverGlo wall insulation. Then we prevent moisture from seeping up through the ground using are CleanSpace liner to line your crawlspace.
Old, batted insulation removed and new, clean cellulose insulation blown in to meet new R-value requirements.
