Homeowner Kelly wanted to make her two-story home more comfortable and safe after discovering rodent droppings in the attic. Our team sanitized the attic, air sealed with ZypFoam, and insulated with TruSoft Cellulose blown-in insulation to stop heat loss and improve efficiency. We also enhanced ventilation for better airflow and sealed wiring penetrations to prevent air leaks.
Now, Kelly’s home is cleaner, more energy efficient, and comfortable all year long!
Matt reached out because his single-story home was still drafty and expensive to heat and cool, even after insulation had been installed by a previous company. He knew the work wasn’t performing the way it should and wanted the issues fixed properly.
Our team corrected the prior insulation work, sealed air leaks throughout the attic, upgraded the attic insulation, and improved attic access. We also sealed rim joists and other leakage points to stop air and heat loss where it mattered most.
Now, Matt’s home is noticeably more comfortable year-round, energy bills are lower, and the attic is safer and easier to access. Most importantly, the insulation system is now doing the job it was meant to do.
Corey reached out because the home felt drafty, energy bills were higher than expected, and there were concerns about overall air quality inside the home. Air quality was such as issue to this family, that they weren’t even able to occupy their home for an extended period.
Many homeowners don’t realize that poor insulation and air leakage can affect more than comfort and energy usage. When air moves uncontrolled through the attic and wall systems, it can carry dust, allergens, and airborne particles throughout the home.
When we evaluated the attic, we found multiple air leakage points that were allowing conditioned air to escape and outside contaminants to enter the living space. Our team focused on building a tighter, higher-performance attic system.
We sealed attic air leaks, sealed penetrations and top plates, insulated the attic access opening, and improved insulation coverage throughout the attic. By tightening the thermal boundary and reducing uncontrolled airflow, we helped improve both comfort and indoor air quality.
A major goal of this project was reducing airborne particles moving through the home. By controlling airflow at the source, the home now experiences less unwanted air infiltration and improved overall efficiency. Now the home feels tighter, more comfortable, and cleaner overall, with reduced drafts, lower energy loss, and improved indoor air quality.
Arthur from Oakdale Pa called Home Environment Solutions stating that he is never comfortable in his home. He says it stays colder in the winter and warmer in the summer. We sent Russ out to perform a free home energy audit to determine what is needed to make his home more comfortable. Russ found old fiberglass batt insulation, uninsulated and sealed scuttle cover and many other penetrations that let air escape.
Remove And Dispose Of Existing Insulation. Attic is prepared for installation of fresh, clean insulation. Our team air sealed and insulated Scuttle Cover, sealed chimney chase with metal flashing, fire caulk and wrapped with rock wool sleeve. Air sealed with Zypfoam all penetrations. Installed SilverGlo™ on wall and between floor joists as needed and they wrapped skylights in 2" SilverGlo to air seal and insulate. They also applied Trusoft cellulose to the attic floor.
Jordan from Oakdale called Home Environment Solutions wanting to know if we could help him reduce his energy costs. We scheduled an appointment with one of our experts to come to her home and preform a free home energy audit. When our expert arrived he found many issues leading to Jordan's high energy bills. Old batt insulation, unsealed/non-insulated scuttle cover and numerous unsealed penetrations.
Our team arrived and removed all the old batt insulation and prepared the attic for the new insulation. They air sealed and insulated the scuttle cover with silverglo, installed Silverglo on wall and between floor joist, air sealed all penetrations and installed Trusoft Cellulose on the attic floor. Encapsulated Duct System In Attic With Polyurethane Spray Foam.
