Insulation Services Before & After Photos

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.   

Joe C. called home Home Environment Solutions saying he has what he believes to be mold in his attic. He also said the upstairs of his home never seems to maintain a comfortable temperature anytime of year. We sent our expert Russ out to inspect and to perform a free home energy audit. Russ found a microbial growth in the attic and also old loose insulation that was letting air escape.

Our mold remediation crew arrived, built a containment barrier on top of the pull down stairs scuttle with 3mil plastic. Under negative pressure not to cross contaminate the rest of the home. Removed all contaminated attic insulation and discarded. Air scrubber in attic, treated microbial growth and removed discoloration from the wood sheathing and framing. 

Our insulation team removed and covered whole house fan, air sealed all penetrations with Zypfoam, insulated scuttle cover with Silverglo and air sealed, installed Silverglo foam board insulation and blown in Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.

Insulation was old and deteriorating.  Knee walls were not insulated causing cold air to penetrate through the upstairs living space.  We  insulated with TruSoft Cellulose and used High Density SilverGlo to insulate. Creating a much warmer/cooler upstairs for the bedrooms.

Kylee called Home Environment solutions saying she thinks she has mold in her attic. Russell went out to inspect and found microbial growth in the attic.

Our mold crew went out and first built a containment barrier on top of the pull down stairs scuttle to prevent contamination of remainder of home. Removed all contaminated fiberglass insulation and discarded. Used a surface substrate cleaner for removal of organic contamination where needed. Air scrubber in attic.  HEPA VAC of roofing and rafter framing after dries. 

Linda from Brookline called Home Environment Solutions wanting to know if we could help her reduce her energy costs.  We scheduled her an appointment with one of our expert to come to her home and preform a free home energy audit.  When our expert arrived he found many issues leading to Linda'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.
