Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Gary, in New Cumberland, WV (26047), reached out after noticing visible mold and a strong musty odor coming from the basement. Like many homeowners, the concern wasn’t just the appearance of the mold, it was how it could affect the air throughout the home.

When we evaluated the basement, we found microbial growth along with moisture-related conditions that were allowing mold and contaminants to thrive.

Our team started by thoroughly cleaning and pressure washing the affected basement surfaces using EPA-rated disinfectant solutions designed specifically for mold remediation. We cleaned structural surfaces including masonry walls, floors, and framing materials to remove visible contamination and surface buildup.

Once the cleaning process was complete, we dried the structure using professional dehumidifiers and air movers to bring humidity levels under control. Air scrubbers were also used during the process to capture airborne mold spores, dust, and allergens.

Because mold and contaminants can circulate through the HVAC system, we also performed a complete HVAC and duct cleaning to NADCA standards. Supply ducts, returns, trunk lines, vents, grills, and evaporator coils were cleaned and sanitized to improve overall indoor air quality throughout the home.

By addressing both the basement environment and the HVAC system, we helped eliminate the source of the musty odor and restore cleaner air throughout the house.

Now the basement is clean and dry, the air smells fresher, and the entire home has a healthier indoor environment.

Richard needed attic insulation for him East Liverpool home in Ohio.   He contacted Home Environment Solutions to set up a free in home energy efficiency test.  After the test, Russ determined that the home needed  to be air sealed and insulated.  Richard would also benefit form having his chimney sealed with metal flashing and rock wool.   

Richard called the office and set the appointment to have the work done.   The HES team arrived and transformed Richards old attic into a money saving, energy efficient attic.

Travis from East Liverpool Ohio called Home Environment Solutions saying that no matter if she adjusts the temperature on his thermostat, his home is still cold in the winter and warm in the summer. We sent our expert Russ out to her home to perform a free home energy audit. Russ found old batt insulation, a non-insulated scuttle cover and unsealed penetrations such as wire and pipe runs.

We sent our insulation team out and they removed all the old insulation and disposed of it. Installed Silverglo along attic deck, installed titeshell over top of can lights and sealed with zipfoam. They also sealed and insulated scuttle cover, air sealed all penetrations interior and exterior and installed Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.

John reached out because parts of his home were never comfortable, especially during the winter. Floors felt cold, drafts were noticeable, and energy bills were higher than expected. The biggest issue was the room over the garage, which stayed uncomfortable no matter the season. The basement also felt cold and contributed to overall heat loss in the home.

Our team focused on strengthening the home’s thermal envelope and stopping air loss at key problem areas. We sealed and insulated the attic, addressed knee wall and cantilevered areas supporting the room over the garage, sealed top plates, and insulated the rim joists in the basement. By tightening these areas, we helped keep conditioned air where it belongs.

Now, John’s home feels balanced and comfortable. The room over the garage stays usable year-round, the basement is warmer in winter, drafts are reduced, and energy costs are lower.
