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.

Rebecca wanted to lower her energy bills and eliminate the drafts moving through her two-story home. She also needed better attic access so the space could be used safely and serviced when needed.

Our team air sealed with ZypFoam and insulated the attic with SilverGlo rigid foam, installed an insulated scuttle cover, and closed up air leaks around wiring, top plates, and fixtures. We also improved the attic access and added insulation upgrades that help keep warm air inside during winter and block heat from entering during summer.

Now, Rebecca’s home feels more comfortable in every season, uses less energy, and has a safer, more functional attic access.

Samantha reached out because a room addition was consistently colder than the rest of the home. During the winter months, the problem became even more serious as pipes in the basement below were at risk of freezing.

When we evaluated the home, we found that the addition wasn't properly insulated and air movement within the enclosed cavities was allowing valuable heat to escape. This not only affected comfort in the living spaces but also created colder conditions around the plumbing system below.

We focused on improving thermal protection using dense-pack insulation. Dense-pack insulation is ideal for enclosed walls, floors, and difficult-to-reach cavities because it completely fills the space and prevents airflow from moving through the structure. Unlike traditional insulation methods that can leave gaps or voids, dense-pack insulation creates a consistent thermal blanket throughout the cavity.

We also sealed key air leakage points to reduce heat loss and improve overall system performance.

By combining air sealing with dense-pack insulation, we were able to address both the comfort issues in the addition and the cold conditions contributing to freezing pipe concerns. Now the room addition feels more comfortable, temperatures are more consistent throughout the home, and the plumbing system has added protection during colder weather.

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.
