Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Nick called from Weirton Wv called Home Environment Solutions saying that he would like to make an appointment for someone to determine why his upstairs stays warm in the summer and colder in the winter.  So we sent our expert Russ to his home to perform a free home energy audit. When Russ arrived he found old rock wool loose  insulation, unsealed pipe and wire runs and no insulation on the scuttle cover. 

Our insulation team removed all the old rock wool insulation and disposed of it. Air sealed and insulated scuttle cover with Silverglo. Installed a layer Of 4'' SilverGlo along attic deck then covered with 3/8'' board. Sealed chimney chase with metal flashing, fire caulk and wrapped with rock wool sleeve. Upgraded Ceiling Over Shower/ Bath by covering opening with wood or foam boards and sealed with ZypFoam expandable foam. Air sealed attic assembly and all accessible penetrations with Zypfoam.  Installed Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.

Matt and Lori, in Chester, WV, called with concerns about their access, insulation, and air escaping around the chimney in the attic space. Our home energy expert, Russ, provided them with solutions for to resolve these issues. Our team removed and disposed of existing insulation and prepared the work space for the installation of fresh, clean insulation. A SuperPlatform Catwalk was installed, made of 4" SilverGlo and 3/8" OSB boards to secure a walkway, while providing vertical retention dams as needed to hold blown-in insulation. They also enlarged and insulated the scuttle hatch cover with ZypFoam and SilverGlo fasteners, for easier access to the attic space equipment. Baffles were installed along the perimeter and Zypfoam was used anywhere air was penetrating the exterior walls and the top plate. The team wrapped up by wrapping the chimney with Rockwool and sealed with Fire Caulk. 

From inadequate and uneven to R60 all over and storage area

Sandy needed help with the heating bills in her home in Middlesex, PA.   Russ from Home Environment Solutions came out and discovered the problem right away!   Her attic had very little insulation and was just an empty space letting heat escape.   

The HES team arrived and Zach and Cameron got to work.   The firs thing they did was air seal the attic with ZypFoam.  The next thing was to install a scuttle cover made from SilverGlo rigid foam to air seal the attic hatch.   Lastly the team installed TruSoft Cellulose insulation to insulate the attic.   

Now that Sandy's home is air sealed and insulated her warm air will stop escaping keeping her home warm and her energy bill low.
