Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Dale reached out because his two-story home was uncomfortable year-round. The upstairs was too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter, and energy bills kept climbing. He wanted better comfort, lower energy costs, and improved attic usability.

Our team air-sealed and insulated the attic, upgraded the attic access, and tightened up air leaks throughout the attic floor. By sealing top plates and improving insulation levels, we stopped conditioned air from escaping and helped balance temperatures throughout the home. They also installed a superplatform catwalk, giving Dale more access for storage and equipment maintenance in his access.

Now, Dale’s home stays more comfortable in every season, energy costs are lower, and the attic space is easier and safer to use.

Chris reached out after dealing with high energy bills, uneven temperatures upstairs, and a more serious concern; mold and ice forming inside the attic.

Those issues usually point to the same root cause: warm, moist air escaping from the home into the attic. When that air hits a cold surface, it can create condensation, mold growth, and even ice build-up.

When we evaluated the attic and found air leakage was allowing heat and moisture to rise into the attic space, creating the conditions for both mold and ice.

Our team started by remediating the mold and restoring the attic to a clean, safe condition. From there, we focused on correcting the underlying problem. We sealed attic air leaks, sealed top plates and penetrations, addressed chimney-related leakage, and improved attic accessibility, so the entire space could be properly treated. We also upgraded insulation levels to help control temperature and reduce heat loss.

By stopping the airflow and improving insulation, we eliminated the conditions that were causing both the mold and ice formation. Now the attic is clean, dry, and properly sealed. Temperatures upstairs are more consistent, and the home runs more efficiently without the risk of those issues returning.

Betty contacted Home Environment Solutions to find out about getting insulation for her home in Pittsburgh, PA.  Russ came out and provided her with a free in home energy audit.  During the visit Betty pointed out some mold that she had noticed.  Russ told her that Home Environment Solutions was an expert in mold remediation as well as home comfort.  

The HES team arrived and got to work tearing out the old inefficient insulation and treating the mold.   Once the Insulation and mold were gone the team air sealed Betty's attic and installed TiteShell light covers.   The Chimney was then wrapped with rock wool and then the whole attic was given a thick lay of cellulous insulation.   

Daniel reached out because his two-story townhome had higher energy bills than it should, and the upstairs temperatures were inconsistent throughout the year. Some seasons left the second floor too hot, while others made it difficult to keep comfortable.

After evaluating the home, our team focused on tightening up the attic system and improving overall efficiency. We sealed attic penetrations, upgraded insulation levels, sealed top plates, and addressed chimney-related air leakage. In addition, we installed a new pull-down attic ladder to improve access and storage while ensuring the opening was properly insulated and sealed.

With these improvements complete, Daniel’s townhome now performs more efficiently. Energy loss has been reduced, upstairs temperatures are more stable, and attic access is safer and easier to use for storage and maintenance.

Francis called Home Environment Solutions saying he would like us to make his home more comfortable year round. Russell our expert went to his home and preformed a free home energy audit. Russ found old, loose batt insulation, unsealed pipe and wire runs and an uninsulated/sealed scuttle cover. Our insulation team arrived removed all the old insulation and disposed of it. They installed a layer of 4" Silverglo, insulated scuttle cover, sealed pipe/wire runs with Zypfoam and used blown in Trusoft cellulose on the attic floor.
