Home Environment Solutions Before & After Photos

Maura reached out after noticing visible mold concerns and wanting to improve the overall air quality in her home. She was also concerned about maintaining proper humidity levels in the basement and ensuring her HVAC system wasn’t spreading contaminants.

When we evaluated the home, it was clear that the issue wasn’t just surface level. Mold and airborne contaminants can circulate through ductwork, affecting the air throughout the entire home.

Our team focused on cleaning and restoring the system from the inside out. We removed and treated microbial growth and addressed moisture-related conditions in the basement. With our partners over at Air Duct Maintenance, HVAC systems were cleaned and sanitized to NADCA standards. Microbial control and deodorizer were applied to the entire system, including coils and supply and returns.

By targeting both the contamination and the source of air movement, we helped stop the spread of airborne particles and improve overall indoor air quality. Now the home has cleaner air, a properly sanitized HVAC system, and better-controlled humidity -- creating a healthier living environment throughout.

Judy reached out because her home felt drafty and her energy bills were higher than they should be. Even without major temperature swings, the home just wasn’t holding comfort the way it should.

After evaluating the home, we found that air leakage in both the attic and lower areas of the home was allowing conditioned air to escape and outside air to enter.

Our team focused on tightening the entire system. In the attic, we sealed air leaks, sealed penetrations and top plates, installed insulation dams, and insulated the attic access to stop energy loss at the top of the home. We also addressed the lower part of the home by insulating and sealing rim joists, which are a common source of drafts and air leakage.

By improving both the attic and lower levels, we were able to control airflow throughout the entire home -- not just one area. Now the home feels less drafty, holds temperature more consistently, and operates much more efficiently.

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.  

Customer had mold in the attic of his Finleyville, PA home.    He contacted Home Environment Solutions to see how they could help.   Russ and the customer sat down and came up with the solution.

The HES team removed the old pressed board, the fiberglass bat insulation and the old blown in cellulose.   The whole area was dried using an air scrubber and dehumidifiers.  The mold was then treated and HEPA vacuumed.  

After the mold problem was removed Home Environment Solutions then air sealed and Insulated the attic.   

Michael reached out because his two-story home had a persistent musty odor and visible mold concerns. The rooms located above the crawlspace were also uncomfortable, with noticeable temperature differences compared to the rest of the house.

After evaluating the crawlspace, our team addressed both the moisture and insulation issues contributing to the problem. We completed mold remediation and sanitation, insulated and sealed the crawlspace areas, and addressed rim joist and crawlspace air leakage to stop moisture intrusion and temperature transfer.

With these improvements complete, the musty odor has been eliminated, visible mold has been properly treated, and the rooms above the crawlspace are now significantly more comfortable. The home is healthier, cleaner, and performs more efficiently year-round.
