Air Sealing Before & After Photos

Betty contacted Home Environment Solutions to find out about getting insulation for her home in Pittsburgh, PA.  Russ came out and provided her with a free in home energy audit.  During the visit Betty pointed out some mold that she had noticed.  Russ told her that Home Environment Solutions was an expert in mold remediation as well as home comfort.  

The HES team arrived and got to work tearing out the old inefficient insulation and treating the mold.   Once the Insulation and mold were gone the team air sealed Betty's attic and installed TiteShell light covers.   The Chimney was then wrapped with rock wool and then the whole attic was given a thick lay of cellulous insulation.   

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.   

Lucinda called Home Environment Solutions to find out about upgrading the insulation in her Allison Park home.   Lucinda was set up with an appointment with the HES insulation expert Russell.   He came to her home to do a free in home energy audit.   In Lucinda's attic he found old compressed insulation with a low R value.    

The HES team arrived and removed the old insulation.  The next step was to air seal the whole attic to prevent loss of heat form the stack effect.  Finally they blew in a deep layer of cellulose insulation to help keep the home comfortable all year long.
