Owner Ken B. and his wife called us to inspect their home for mold.
Certified Comfort and Energy Specialist and Certified Mold Inspector and Remediator Mark O. did a full inspection of the home and discovered mold in the attic. In addition, the owners revealed that their home was very uncomfortable. Mark proposed a mold remediation protocol and designed several solutions to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of the home.
Our Certified Mold Remediation team first removed the mold from the attic sheathing that was caused by poor attic insulation.
Foreman Mike Y. and his team air sealed the attic and properly insulated with cellulose insulation to R60 for optimum results. The owners utilized the attic for storage, so a large storage deck was built using SilverGlo foam insulation and plywood.
The end result was a much more comfortable home without attic mold.

Nicole from Wintersville, OH saw the Gutter Shutter by Home Environment Solutions truck when she was at the Steubenville Mall. She called and explained that her gutters were clogged and pulling away from her home. The Gutter Shutter by Home Environment Solutions team showed up and removed Nicole's old gutters including the metal screen inserts that failed to keep out leaves and debris. The new Gutter Shutter system was installed with the wide downspouts. Nicole's home looks great and the new Gutter Shutter system is working perfectly.
Ron was experiencing ice damming on his Winterville, Ohio home. Ice Damming is caused by heat loss melting the snow on the roof, causing the water to accumulate on the cold areas and refreeze damaging the building and the gutters. He called Home Environment Solutions for help.
The HES team arrived and air sealed the attic to stop the heat loss and added insulation to the attic.
When Diane reached out, her single-story home was drafty, her energy bills were high, and her attic wasn’t doing much to keep temperatures steady. She wanted her home to feel comfortable all year long and needed better attic access for maintenance and storage.
Our crew air-sealed with ZypFoam, installed a properly insulated scuttle cover, and upgraded the insulation throughout the space. We raised the R-value rating with the installation of SilverGlo insulation panels and TruSoft Cellulose blown-in insulation. We also improved her attic access for better entry to maintenance equipment and utilize storage space.
Now, Diane’s home feels warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and noticeably less drafty, with lower energy bills to match.
