Insulation was old and deteriorating. Knee walls were not insulated causing cold air to penetrate through the upstairs living space. We insulated with TruSoft Cellulose and used High Density SilverGlo to insulate. Creating a much warmer/cooler upstairs for the bedrooms.
Kylee called Home Environment solutions saying she thinks she has mold in her attic. Russell went out to inspect and found microbial growth in the attic.
Our mold crew went out and first built a containment barrier on top of the pull down stairs scuttle to prevent contamination of remainder of home. Removed all contaminated fiberglass insulation and discarded. Used a surface substrate cleaner for removal of organic contamination where needed. Air scrubber in attic. HEPA VAC of roofing and rafter framing after dries.
At Home Environment Solutions we consider air sealing to be a process that is just as important as the insulation itself. Air sealing can drastically improve the energy performance of an older home. We can locate ever the smallest of air leaks using are blower door test.
