Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Lauren from Shaler Pa called Home Environment Solutions concerned she had old growing in her attic.  Lauren says she owns an older ranch home. We sent Russ our expert out to evaluate. When Russ arrived he found microbial growth on her old batt insulation, rafters and sheeting. Lauren also wanted Russ to figure out why her home is never a comfortable temperature. Russ performed a FREE energy audit of her home and discovered it had old batt insulation, unsealed wire runs, pipes and scuttle cover.

First we sent our mold team to remediate all the microbial growth that was found in the attic. First they built a containment barrier on top of the pull down stairs scuttle with plastic. Under negative pressure to not cross contaminate the remainder of the home. They removed all old batt insulation and discarded, used surface cleaner to remove all organic contamination, Hepa vac after treatment was dry. Next the insulation team air sealed and insulated scuttle cover with silverglo and zypfoam, sealed all interior and exterior penetrations with Zypfoam and installed Trusoft cellulose to the attic floor.

George saw the ad for Home Environment Solutions in the Clipper Magazine and called to schedule a free in home energy efficiently audit for his Pittsburgh, PA home.   Russ arrived and got to work looking for ways to make George's home more comfortable and economical.  Russ found that the upstairs in George's home was never comfortable.  Either too hot in the summer or to cold in the winter.   

The HES team arrived and got to work.   They removed the old inefficient attic insulation and began air sealing.  Next, TiteShell covers were installed over the recess lighting and SilverGlo foam insulation was used on the attic decking.   The final phase was blowing in the cellulous insulation.   George's home will now be more comfortable all year round and cost less to heat and cool.

Bruce called the Home Environment Solutions team for help insulating the attic in his home.   Russ came out to the house and did an energy audit and evaluation.   

The HES team arrived and got to work removing the old insulation that was not longer efficient.   They began air sealing the attic  and installed recessed light covers to stop warm air from escaping the living space.  The next step was to air seal the rim joist in the basement  and out the CleanSpace encapsulation system in with the TerraBlock floor insulation.   

By dealing with the loss of warm air in the attic and the entry of cold air from the basement Bruce's home will stay more comfortable and have lower energy bills all year long.   

Bruce called Home environment solutions saying that his upstairs study is always cold in the winter and warm in the summer. So we sent our expert out to preform a free home energy audit.  Russ found old batt insulation, an unsealed or insulated scuttle cover and unsealed penetrations such as pipe runs, wire runs which lets air escape.

 Installed TiteShell recessed light fixture cover over top of can light and sealed with ZypFoam polyurethane foam around edge and any holes made for electrical wires.   Installed SilverGlo on wall and between floor joists as needed.

Insulated the vertical wall between the upper knee wall attic and the study attic.  Insulated the Adjacent Wall With SilverGlo.  Air sealed and insulated Scuttle Cover.
