A local commercial building sat vacant for a long time causing uncontrolled relative humidity. This humidity eventually caused mold to form inside of the building. In order to get the building ready for the new occupants the owner called Home Environment Solutions to remediate the mold. The HES team came and removed the mold from the commercial garage and the office spaces. This Weirton, WV commercial building is now ready to start making money for the new occupant.
Large newly remodeled office space was devastated when the sprinkler system failed and flooded the building. Home Environment Systems responded immediately to extract the water to prevent mold growth and dry the building. Our restoration team rebuilt the damaged areas to a pre loss new condition. The owners business was only affected minimally and was able to reopen quickly.
Donna from Burgettstown Pa called Home Environment Solutions saying she thinks she has mold growth in her crawlspace. We sent our expert Russell out to inspect the microbial growth. Russell found microbial growth in her crawlspace. Our crew first removed and disposed of all the old contaminated insulation, air scrubber used a substrate cleaner to remove all organic contamination.
Stacey reached out because her two-story home was dealing with high energy bills and uncomfortable hot and cold temperature swings upstairs. On top of that, rodent contamination in the attic needed to be properly addressed.
Our team started by disinfecting and sanitizing the attic space to safely remove contamination and restore a clean environment. Once the attic was properly treated, we focused on improving energy performance.
We sealed attic air leaks, sealed top plates and penetrations, addressed chimney-related leakage, installed insulation dams, upgraded insulation levels, and insulated the attic access opening. By tightening the attic’s thermal boundary, we reduced the amount of conditioned air escaping into the attic.
Now the attic is clean and sanitized, upstairs temperatures are more consistent, and the home operates more efficiently year-round.
Kathleen reached out after noticing visible mold and damp conditions in the basement, particularly around the furnace room. In homes like this, mold growth in unfinished basement areas can impact much more than just the basement itself, especially when the HVAC system is nearby.
When we evaluated the space, we found mold growth and contaminated materials in the furnace room area along with elevated moisture conditions contributing to the problem.
Our team focused on safely remediating the affected area while protecting the rest of the home from cross contamination.
We set up HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and containment measures to control airborne particles during the remediation process. Mold-affected materials, including pegboard and fiberglass insulation near the furnace area, were carefully removed and disposed of.
Next, we pressure washed and disinfected the basement surfaces using EPA-rated antimicrobial solutions designed specifically for mold remediation. We then dried the basement using professional dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers to bring humidity levels under control.
By cleaning the environment thoroughly and controlling moisture, we helped to restore a cleaner, healthier basement space and improve overall indoor air quality throughout the home.
Now the basement is clean, dry, and the musty conditions surrounding the furnace room have been eliminated.
