Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Lauren from Shaler Pa called Home Environment Solutions concerned she had old growing in her attic.  Lauren says she owns an older ranch home. We sent Russ our expert out to evaluate. When Russ arrived he found microbial growth on her old batt insulation, rafters and sheeting. Lauren also wanted Russ to figure out why her home is never a comfortable temperature. Russ performed a FREE energy audit of her home and discovered it had old batt insulation, unsealed wire runs, pipes and scuttle cover.

First we sent our mold team to remediate all the microbial growth that was found in the attic. First they built a containment barrier on top of the pull down stairs scuttle with plastic. Under negative pressure to not cross contaminate the remainder of the home. They removed all old batt insulation and discarded, used surface cleaner to remove all organic contamination, Hepa vac after treatment was dry. Next the insulation team air sealed and insulated scuttle cover with silverglo and zypfoam, sealed all interior and exterior penetrations with Zypfoam and installed Trusoft cellulose to the attic floor.

Bruce called Home environment solutions saying that his upstairs study is always cold in the winter and warm in the summer. So we sent our expert out to preform a free home energy audit.  Russ found old batt insulation, an unsealed or insulated scuttle cover and unsealed penetrations such as pipe runs, wire runs which lets air escape.

 Installed TiteShell recessed light fixture cover over top of can light and sealed with ZypFoam polyurethane foam around edge and any holes made for electrical wires.   Installed SilverGlo on wall and between floor joists as needed. Wrapped skylights in 2" SilverGlo to air seal and insulate. Insulated the vertical wall between the upper knee wall attic and the study attic.  Insulated the Adjacent Wall With SilverGlo.  Air sealed and insulated Scuttle Cover. Sealed all accessible penetrations (pipe runs, wire runs, top plates (interior and exterior)with expanding polyurethane foam.  Installed TruSoft cellulose on attic floor.

This Pittsburgh, PA home owner had a dust problem in her home along with cold rooms and high energy bills. Insufficient insulation allows dust to seep into your home from many different places. Home Environment Solutions removed all of this home owners old dirty insulation and air sealed all there air penetration points.  Air sealing is as important as the insulation itself.  This is what separates Home Environment Solutions from its competitors. Are competitors blow on top of old insulation.  After the air sealing was completed we blew 17" of Tru-Soft Cellulose insulation into this home owners attic.  

No more dust problems, no more cold rooms, and no more high energy bills.  Home Environment Solutions Creating Healthy, Comfortable, Efficient Homes!
