Insulation Services Before & After Photos

Dan from Baldwin Pa was looking for a solution to keeping his home comfortable year round.  Russell our expert went to Dan's home to perform a free energy audit.  When Russ arrived he found old loose insulation, numerous unsealed penetrations such as wire and pipe runs, unsealed can lights and an uninsulated attic assembly. Our insulation team removed all old insulation, installed Titeshell recessed light fixture covers and sealed with Zypfoam , air sealed and insulated attic assembly, sealed all penetrations with Zypfoam and insulated the attic floor with Trusoft cellulose.

This Pittsburgh, PA customer was experiencing cold and drafty rooms directly above his crawl space.  His fiberglass bats had soaked up moisture and were failing to adequately insulate his home. Our production team closed this customers crawlspace vents, insulated, and encapsulated using our SilverGlo insulation board and CleanSpace liner.  

Karen called Home Environment solutions saying that her room above her garage stays cold in the winter. We set her up with an appointment with Russ to evaluate her home and perform a free home energy audit. Russ found loose insulation. places with no insulation and unsealed scuttle cover, wire and pipe runs.

Our insulation team went out and disposed of any old , loose insulation and prepared attic for fresh clean insulation.  They air sealed the area between two ceiling levels in the attic, installed Silverglo foamboard on vertical walls between levels and sealed all gaps with expanding air sealing foam. Air sealed and insulated scuttle cover. Installed super knee wall. Air sealed and insulated roof and super knee wall. Applied Trusoft cellulose to attic floor. 

Sarah wanted to make her home more comfortable year-round. Like many homeowners, she was dealing with rising energy costs, uncomfortable upstairs temperatures, cold floors during the winter, and concerns about ice dams forming along the roof.

After evaluating the home, we found that the attic was allowing valuable conditioned air to escape through multiple leakage points. When warm air leaks into the attic, it not only makes the home harder to heat and cool, but it can also contribute to ice dam formation during the winter.

Our team focused on rebuilding the attic into a high-performance system. We sealed attic air leaks, top plates, and soffit transition areas while also addressing chimney-related leakage. We upgraded the insulation throughout the attic, improved attic accessibility, and insulated the attic access opening to eliminate one of the home's most common hidden energy loss areas.

As part of the project, we also improved insulation in targeted floor areas to help reduce cold floors during the winter months.

By combining air sealing with proper insulation, we helped create a continuous thermal barrier that keeps conditioned air inside where it belongs.

Now the home stays more comfortable throughout the year, the upstairs maintains more consistent temperatures, the floors feel warmer during the winter, and the conditions that contribute to ice dams have been significantly reduced.

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.
