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.
Sam called Home Environment Solutions for help dealing with some moldy insulation in his attic. When Russ arrived he learned that Sam had his roof replaced last year and has been having problems with mold in the attic. Russ provided Sam with a free evaluation and discovered the problem was caused by bad circulation in the attic.
The HES team arrived and got to work removing the old moldy insulation so that the attic mold could be remediated. The Team used a strong chemical to remove all organic contamination form the attic. Since the attic was now remediated the attic could be insulated to make the home comfortable year round. The attic was air sealed and the duct work was encapsulated with foam. The HES team then installed a David Lewis Hatch Cover and a thick layer of cellulose insulation.
Sam's home is now free from mold and more energy efficient.
