Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Beth was having trouble keeping her Pittsburgh, PA home warm in the winter.   The energy bills were high and she was still uncomfortable.   She called Home Environment Solutions to see what we could do to help make her home more energy efficient and enjoyable.   After performing a free in home energy audit Beth and HES came up with a plan together.   

The Home Environment Solutions team arrived and removed the old worn out insulation from the attic.   The attic was then air sealed to stop warm air from escaping the home's living space.   Next a thick layer of blown in insulation was installed to increase the R-Value, preventing radiant heat loss.    

Beth will now be more comfortable in her home all year long with lower heating and cooling bills.

Bob from Bethel Park Pa called Home Environment Solutions saying he is tired of his home staying cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer and would like us to come see what can be done to make home more comfortable. We sent our expert Russell out to perform a FREE energy audit.  Russ found old insulation, unsealed penetrations and non insulated scuttle cover. 

Our insulation team removed all the old  insulation and disposed of it. Installed Silverglo foam board on scuttle and walls. Sealed all internal and external penetrations with Zypfoam. Installed Trusoft cellulose on the attic floor.

Crawl Spaces can be dirty, stinky, and wet.  They are homes to spiders, moles, rats, birds, snakes, and groundhogs to name a few.  In worst cases, they are home to mold.  Mold in your crawlspace is no laughing matter. Most of the air you breath in your home comes from your crawl space. Yes, grossed out yet? When you have mold in your crawl space it can cause serious health problems. Mold can also cause serious structural problems.  Mold grows on and eats organic materials in your crawlspace, or in other words its eating the wood that is supporting your house. 

At Home Environment Solutions, we want you and your family to be safe.  We solve all your crawl space problems turning it into a safe clean environment that can be utilized for storage.  Crawl Space encapsulation is a process of closing your crawl space vents, insulating your walls using SilverGlo Wall Insulation Board and putting down a CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent moisture seeping from the earth into your crawlspace. 

An encapsulated crawl space will not only make your home safer and more comfortable it will save you money on your energy bills and increase the life of your HVAC systems. As you can see here, the space previous to our insulation and barrier systems had a dirt floor and poorly installed insulation. After our work is done, the area is well sealed and super clean. These homeowners were extremely pleased with the outcome!

George saw the ad for Home Environment Solutions in the Clipper Magazine and called to schedule a free in home energy efficiently audit for his Pittsburgh, PA home.   Russ arrived and got to work looking for ways to make George's home more comfortable and economical.  Russ found that the upstairs in George's home was never comfortable.  Either too hot in the summer or to cold in the winter.   

The HES team arrived and got to work.   They removed the old inefficient attic insulation and began air sealing.  Next, TiteShell covers were installed over the recess lighting and SilverGlo foam insulation was used on the attic decking.   The final phase was blowing in the cellulous insulation.   George's home will now be more comfortable all year round and cost less to heat and cool.
