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.
Air Seal, Attic Insulation, HVAC ducts spray foamed, TruSoft Cellulose to R60
Homeowner Jack had mold on his beams so we took care of it!
Not the pink stuff again! This customer in Burgettstown, PA was experiencing home discomfort. The upstairs of their fairly new home was hot in the summer. The air-conditioner ran continuously but just couldn't keep up! HES wasn't surprised to find the "pink stuff" in the attic. It is common for even new home builders to use this inferior insulation. Fiberglass bats don't seal wall and ceiling spaces very tight which causes air leaks. And "air leaks" are what cost you the home owner $$$.
First we romoved his fiberglass bats, and vacumed all the dirt and dust out of the attic. Next the most important part we Air Sealed all the pentration points. And last we covered his attic floor with a warm blanket of TrueSoft Cellulose Insulation.
The results speak for themselves.
Black mold was growing in the attic due poor ventilation with high humidity levels.
