Greta contacted Home Environment Solutions to help with some major renovations on her Jewett, Ohio home. Russ arrived for the free in home evaluation and learned that Greta wanted mold remediated in her unfinished basement, the air ducts cleaned, and new insulation to increase the homes energy efficiency.
The HES team arrived and got to work setting up air scrubbers in the work area and remediating the mold on all of the surfaces with a disinfectant solution that the EPA approved for mold. The affected carpet and drywall was removed and disposed of. Next a SaniDry dehumidification system was installed.
Upstairs the existing insulation was removed form the attic. The attic was then air sealed and insulated with cellulose. A David Lewis Hatch Cover was installed along with a storage deck insulated with SilverGlo foam insulation. Each of the homes recessed lighting fixtures were given a TiteShell cover and air sealed to stop heat loss.
Greta's home is now ready for her to enjoy.
