Bringing Comfort Back to a Whole Home in Mingo Junction, OH 43938

Barbara wanted to solve two common problems many homeowners face: rising energy bills and an upstairs that never seemed to stay comfortable. She also wanted her crawl space evaluated to make sure there weren't additional issues contributing to the home's performance.

After evaluating the home, we found that the attic was allowing conditioned air to escape through multiple leakage points. When warm or cool air escapes into the attic, the second floor is often the first place homeowners notice uneven temperatures.

Our team focused on strengthening the attic's thermal boundary by sealing air leaks before upgrading the insulation.

We sealed attic penetrations, top plates, and chimney-related leakage areas while also insulating the attic access opening. Once the attic was properly air sealed, we upgraded the insulation to create a more complete thermal blanket across the home.

Taking the time to seal the attic before adding insulation ensures the insulation performs the way it's designed to, helping the home stay comfortable throughout every season.

The result is a tighter, more energy-efficient home with improved comfort upstairs and a homeowner who now has a clearer understanding of the overall condition of both the attic and crawl space.
