David from Fox chapel pa called Home Environment Solutions saying that every winter the upstairs of his home stays cold. David would like his home to be insulated better to save on energy costs and to be comfortable. We sent our expert Russell out to perform a free energy audit. Russ found a poorly insulated attic wit old loose insulation and a lot of wire and pipe runs unsealed.
We sent our insulation team out and they first removed and disposed of all the old insulation. Insulated the attic wall with Silverglo, insulated the skylights and air sealed, insulated and sealed the attic scuttle cover, sealed all pipe and wire runs with Zypfoam and used blow in cellulose on the attic floor.
Bill in Pittsburg, PA was having trouble with the gutters on his home. The screens he had on his gutters were not working. Water was overflowing and the gutters were still getting clogged. The Gutter Shutter by Home Environment Solutions Gutter Shutter team showed up and removed the old screens and installed new Gutter Guards on the home's existing gutter system. The new Gutter Guards are letting water drain correctly while keeping leaves and debris out.
