Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Kayleigh reached out because her two-story home was experiencing high energy bills, uneven temperatures upstairs, and visible mold in the attic. The attic over both the original home and the addition needed attention to improve comfort and air quality.

Our team started by remediating the visible mold in the attic. We treated and sanitized the affected areas to restore a clean environment and eliminate contamination.

Once the attic was properly remediated, we focused on strengthening the entire attic system. We sealed attic air leaks, sealed top plates and penetrations, reduced heat loss and heat gain, insulated and sealed attic access openings, and upgraded insulation levels throughout both the original structure and the addition. We also dense-packed insulation where needed to ensure consistent coverage.

With the improvements complete, the attic is clean and properly insulated, upstairs temperatures are more stable, and the home operates more efficiently year-round.

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.

Linda from Brookline called Home Environment Solutions wanting to know if we could help her reduce her energy costs.  We scheduled her an appointment with one of our expert to come to her home and preform a free home energy audit.  When our expert arrived he found many issues leading to Linda's high energy bills. Old batt insulation, unsealed/non-insulated scuttle cover and numerous unsealed penetrations.

Our team arrived and removed all the old batt insulation and prepared the attic for the new insulation. They air sealed and insulated the scuttle cover with silverglo, installed Silverglo on wall and between floor joist, air sealed all penetrations and installed Trusoft Cellulose on the attic floor.
