Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Susan wanted to make her home more comfortable and save on energy bills in the winter.  She contacted Home Environment Solutions to set up a free in home evaluation.   Russ came out and went over her issues and solutions options.   

Susan decided to have the insulation in her attic removed and replaced by blown in cellulous.  

The HES team came and removed Susan's attic insulation, air sealed the flor with ZypFoam  and then added the TruSoft cellulous to reduce the heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer.   The team then sealed the metal chimney with Rock wool.  

Susan's home is more energy efficient and comfortable year round.   

Dan saw the Home Environment Solutions truck getting supplies at the local hardware store.   He ask the team about his attic insulation to find out that is exactly what HES specializes in.  The team gave him the number to call Christi and set up an in home evaluation.   

Russ went out and met with Dan in his home.  They looked over the home and came up with a plan.   When the team arrived they remembered Dan from the hardware store.  Cameron and the guys got to work air sealing the attic and installing the blown in insulation.  

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.
