Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Chad contacted us because his home was experiencing several comfort issues. Cold floors, drafty rooms, and temperature swings upstairs were making it difficult to keep the home comfortable. When we evaluated the home, we found that air leakage and insulation gaps in the attic were allowing conditioned air to escape. When warm air leaks out of the living space, it can cause cold floors, uneven temperatures, and higher energy bills.

Our team focused on strengthening the attic system. We sealed attic air leaks, sealed top plates and penetrations, improved attic access openings, encapsulated ductwork to reduce energy loss, and upgraded insulation levels. We also installed insulation dams to ensure the insulation performs properly and stays in place.

By tightening the attic’s thermal boundary and improving insulation performance, we helped reduce uncontrolled air movement throughout the home. Now the home experiences more stable temperatures, reduced drafts, and improved comfort throughout the living space -- including better temperature control in the basement.

Shannon from Girard, OH called saying she can not maintain a comfortable temperature in her family room and kitchen year round. We sent our expert Russ out to do a free Home Energy Audit. Russ found old loose insulation and unsealed pipes, electrical and scuttle cover.

Our insulation team went out removed all old insulation and disposed of it. Insulated scuttle cover with SilverGlo and air sealed. Sealed chimney chase with metal flashing, fire caulk and rock wool sleeve. Installed Silverglo on walls and between floor joists as needed. Wrapped skylights with 2" SilverGlo to air seal and insulate. Sealed all accessible penetrations(pipe runs, wire runs, top plates(interior and exterior))  with Zypfoam. Installed blow in Trusoft cellulose.

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.

This Wheeling, WV homeowner was in desperate need of new insulation in their crawl space under their home. As you can see in the picture, the old insulation was falling to the ground, creating quite the mess and affecting the air in the home, as well as their energy bills. They gave us a call at Home Environment Solutions, and we were happy to get right to work!

After a free energy evaluation with our Home Comfort Specialist, Mark Orecchio, this family knew that replacing their old insulation was the best solution to their problem. Mike Y. and his crew came out to get the job done! Using SilverGlo Wall Insulation they insulated the crawl space wall.  Next, using CleanSpace Lining they cover the dirt floor, this will give the homeowner a moisture barrier. This will cut energy costs, and prevent high humidity in the crawl space. 

This family was more than satisfied they have new, effective insulation in their crawl space, lower energy bills and clean storage.  We were happy to help them do so! Call us TODAY for your free energy evaluation.
