Photo Album: Mold remediation and insulation upgrade in Pittsburgh, PA 15234
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.
