Not the pink stuff again! This customer in Burgettstown, PA was experiencing home discomfort. The upstairs of their fairly new home was hot in the summer. The air-conditioner ran continuously but just couldn't keep up! HES wasn't surprised to find the "pink stuff" in the attic. It is common for even new home builders to use this inferior insulation. Fiberglass bats don't seal wall and ceiling spaces very tight which causes air leaks. And "air leaks" are what cost you the home owner $$$.
First we romoved his fiberglass bats, and vacumed all the dirt and dust out of the attic. Next the most important part we Air Sealed all the pentration points. And last we covered his attic floor with a warm blanket of TrueSoft Cellulose Insulation.
The results speak for themselves.
Black mold was growing in the attic due poor ventilation with high humidity levels.
Donna from Burgettstown Pa called Home Environment Solutions saying she thinks she has mold growth in her crawlspace. We sent our expert Russell out to inspect the microbial growth. Russell found microbial growth in her crawlspace. Our crew first removed and disposed of all the old contaminated insulation, air scrubber used a substrate cleaner to remove all organic contamination.
A few years ago Matthew, a homeowner in Industry, PA, called a local business to install screens on his gutters. The company assured him that these screens would stop the clogging and draining problems he had been having. Unfortunately, the problems continued. This summer, Matthew decided to fix the problem once and for all. He did his research and found Gutter Shutter by Home Environment Solutions and the Gutter Shutter system. The final selling point was the Lifetime No Clog Warranty. Matthew called and scheduled the evaluation that same day.
Home owners Donald and Ginny had comfort issues in their home. The told Mark that they had already insulated their attic the year before and they thought the needed insulation in their walls. Mark did a full inspection of their home and attic and discovered that the insulation has been incorrectly installed in their attic which caused a severe moisture problem and resulted in attic mold.
Our Certified Mold Remediators came and removed the attic mold and all of the improperly installed insulation. Following the remediation crew leader Mike Y and his team properly air sealed the entire attic and insulated to R60 with TruSoft Cellulose insulation.
The end result was a healthy home that is much more comfortable and efficient and very happy home owners.
