Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Brad reached out after experiencing ice damming along the roofline and sides of his home during winter. Along with the ice buildup, the home had high energy bills and noticeable hot and cold temperature swings upstairs.

Ice dams are often caused by heat escaping into the attic, warming the roof deck and creating uneven melting and refreezing. Our team focused on stopping that heat loss at the source.

We sealed attic air leaks, sealed top plates and attic penetrations, addressed chimney-related leakage, sealed soffit areas, installed insulation dams, upgraded insulation levels, and improved attic access. By strengthening the attic’s thermal boundary, we reduced the heat escaping into the attic space.

With the improvements complete, the attic is properly sealed and insulated, helping prevent future ice damming. The upstairs now experiences more consistent temperatures, and the home operates more efficiently overall.

Daniel from Venetia, Pa called Home Environment Solutions to have the attic on his home air sealed and Insualted.  The HES team used Zypfoam to air seal the attic and then Insualted the attif floor with TRuSoft Cellulose.   

Dave reached out because his two-story home was using more energy than it should, leading to higher utility bills. While the main living space felt mostly comfortable, the garage was uncomfortable throughout the year, which is often a sign of air leakage at the top of the home.

Our team focused on sealing the attic top plates to stop conditioned air from escaping into the attic and garage areas. By closing these common leakage points, we reduced unwanted air movement and helped the home hold temperature more effectively.

With the air sealing complete, the garage is now noticeably more comfortable year-round, and the home operates more efficiently with less wasted energy.

Amy from Mars Pa called saying she thinks she has mold growth in her attic. She would also like us to see what she can do to make her house more comfortable year round. We sent our expert Russell out to inspect the microbial growth and to preform a free home energy audit.  Russell found microbial growth in her attic, old insulation, non insulated pipe, wire runs and scuttle cover. Our crew first prepared the area by building a contamination barrier to protect the remainder of the home. They removed and disposed of all the old insulation, air scrubber in the attic, used a substrate cleaner to remove all organic contamination. After the growth was remediated they insulated the scuttle and walls with silverglo, air sealed all internal and external penetrations with Zypfoam and installed Trusoft cellulose on the attic floor.

Joanie from Mars Pa called Home environment solutions saying she saw rodent droppings in her attic and she would also like to know how to make her home more energy efficient.  We sent Russ to her home to perform a free home energy audit. Russ found loose insulation covered with rodent droppings, unsealed scuttle and multiple unsealed electrical and pipe runs.

When our insulation team arrived first they removed all the old batt insulation and disposed of it. Cleaned and sanitized from the rodent droppings.

Air sealed and insulated the Scuttle cover, sealed the chimney chase with metal flashing, fire caulk and wrapped with rock wool sleeve .Installed Titeshell over top of can lights and sealed with Zypfoam. Air sealed all accessible penetrations interior and exterior. Installed Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.
