Job Stories From Washington County, PA
Burgettstown PA Severe Mold Sickness Symptoms Relieved

Owner Tom W. has severe allergies to mold and he was searching for a solution to relieve some of his symptoms in his home.  While in his home he needed to wear a mask to relieve his symptoms.  He was referred to Home Environment Solutions by a friend.

Certified Indoor Environmentalist and mold inspector Mark O gave the house a thorough inspection from the basement to the attic and found several issues that needed addressed to eliminate the problem for good.  Tom’s home has 38 recessed cans throughout the upstairs of the home which contributed to sever stack effect in his home.  The stack effect was so severe he said that the dog door in the basement would constantly blow open in the winter months.  In addition to the recessed cans his home was insulated with typical fiberglass insulation and was by no means air sealed.

Mike Y along with his installation crew removed the fiberglass insulation from the attic, air sealed the entire attic and installed TiteShell recessed can covers.  After the attic was air sealed they installed blown in TruSoft cellulose insulation to R60.  The owners reported high humidity in the basement during the summer months.  Our crew installed a SaniDry dehumidifier system that will reduce the relative humidity while the MERV 11 filter will remove mold, pollen and dust particles from the air.  

The final results were dramatic and immediate.  The owners felt a difference in the comfort level in the home the very first day. Tom has reported a noticeable difference in the air quality in the home.

Washington PA Moldy Attic

No mold testing was needed when Home Environment Solution arrived at this Washington, PA residence.  It was very clear she had a serious mold problem.  She called just in time to save her roof.  If this mold had gone untreated for another month, this home owner would've needed a contractor to replace her entire roof.  Mold feeds on and brakes down organic matter which causes wood to rot.  Not only was this homeowner at risk of loosing her roof, the levels of mold spores in her house was a health concern.  

What was causing this mold?  The relative humidity levels of this home were high and mold needs a lot of moisture to grow.  We don't just remove the mold, we find and fix the underlying conditions that caused the mold in the first place.  

Poor attic ventilation and clogged gutters caused these moldy conditions.

Avella PA I need comfort in my home!

Diane has lived in her home for many years and has always had uneven temperatures and very high energy bills. She did a lot of research online to find a qualified and insured company who could make a noticeable difference in her home.  After careful consideration, Diane chose to call Home Environment Solutions for an evaluation.   

Home Environment Solution Consultant, Mark, did an inspection and found many building deficiencies that were causing her problems.  The home had old inefficient R19 fiberglass insulation that was not installed properly along with many leaky HVAC ducts throughout the attic.  He also discovered many large penetrations in the attic floor which caused a major amount of heat to escape in the winter and hot air to enter the living space in the summer.  There were also issues in her basement with gaps in the rim joist and air gaps around the windows and doors.  These problems created multiple drafts.  Mark went over his findings with Diane and laid out a detailed solution to solve all of her comfort and efficiency problems once and for all.

The production crew arrived and removed all of the old fiberglass insulation and air sealed the attic.  Next, they installed a TruSoft PVC soffit baffle system along the perimeter of the attic for proper ventilation and to prevent insulation from migrating into the eaves. This product meets new EnergyStar requirements.  The HVAC ducts were spray foamed to seal and insulate preventing air loss and allowing the heated and cooled air to go to the intended living spaces.  Once completed, the crew installed, insulated, and air sealed a David Lewis Hatch Cover over the attic stair entrance.  The hatch cover is made with SilverGlo high density foam insulation and infused with graphite which increases the insulation value by 24%. This will keep the hostile attic air from affecting the walls and living space below.  TruSoft Cellulose insulation was blown in to an average of R60 to complete the attic space. The final step was to spray the rim joists in the basement with foam and seal all of the leaks around the windows and doors.

Diane said the end result was amazing and she could feel a huge difference immediately.  For the first time ever, the temperatures in her home were the same everywhere!

Avella PA Pipes Freezing and Mold

Esther's pipes kept freezing in the winter months and she was not able to complete her daily activities that involved anything to do with water.  She was afraid that at some point her pipes would burst and she would have an even bigger problem on her hands.  She did a google search for insulating pipes and gave us a call.  

When Russell went to her home and did a full evaluation from attic to basement, he realized she actually did have a problem she wasnt expecting.  Mold in her attic.  Luckily, Esther called the right company because we are insulation experts and certified mold remediators.  

First priority was removing the mold from the attic of her two story home so she could feel at ease knowing she had a healthy home.  Dave, our mold foreman, along with his team removed all of the contaiminanted insulation and remediated the microbial growth.  Finally, he HEPA vaccumed the entire area leaving a clean, healthy space ready for new insulation.

Zach, Cameron, and Derrick, the insulation team,  first went into the attic and sealed all of the accessible penetrations, and top plates with Zypfoam and blew in TruSoft cellulose.  They then removed one row of drop ceiling tiles so they could spray foam the rim joists.

Esther has not had an issues since and was happy with the job as a whole.  She appreciated that the teams were respectful and would talk to her each day to let her know of their progress.

Finleyville PA Traditional attic

James contacted Home Environment Solutions because the upstairs of the newer home was cold.  He said that is it at least 10 degrees colder upstairs than downstairs.  He had a new baby on the way and wanted this issue fixed.

 

Russell, our Home Comfort Specialist, met with James at his home.  An evaluation was completed on the home.  The attic contained blown fiberglass insulation.  The attic was not air sealed (interior - exterior top plates, wire runs, chimney chases, pipe runs, electrical boxes...) which is allowing the heat to escape from the home into the attic.  Any air lost to the attic is gone forever.  Russell prepared a complete proposal for the recommended work to be performed.  James moved forward immediately with all recommendations.

 

The production team of Zack, Cameron and Derek arrived at James' home and layed tarps out to protect the home.  The blown insulation was vacuumed from the attic via a truck mounted vacuum system.  The attic floor was air sealed, the duct work was spray foamed, the scuttle cover was insulated, 20 recessed can lights were covered and air sealed, and the attic was re-insulated with 17" of TruSoft Cellulose R-60.

 

About 2 weeks after completing the work, James contacted Home Environment Solutions to let us know he is seeing no difference in his upstairs.  Mark (owner) and Russell went to his home to investigate this issue.  Using an Anemometer (to measure air flow) and our thermal camera (temperature) we tested the supply vents throughout his home.  We were able to determine, that his upstairs vents were not functioning properly.  There was barely any airflow coming from the supply vents upstairs.  We explained to James that he had two issues (not being insulated properly and an HVAC problem).  We have corrected the insulation portion and now he needs to address the HVAC issue.  We recommended Air Duct Maintenance to assist with this issue.  The issue was addressed and corrected by opening and changing a few dampers.

 

James is very happy with the work that was completed and the willingness of Home Environment Solutions to help see this issue to a good outcome.

Canonsburg PA Traditional Attic

Ray has only been in this house for approximately 2 years and the comfort level was not what he thought that it should be.  There was a temperature difference throughout the house. The home is a ranch style home with pull down steps as the attic access. 

 

Russell, our Home Comfort Specialist, met with Ray to listen to his concerns and issues.  Russell asked Ray numerous questions and did a full inspection from basement to the attic.   Russell had Ray come into the attic and was able to give him a visual explanation of the work that would be performed at his home.

 

The production team of Zack, Cameron and Brandon arrived at Ray’s home and explained what they were going to accomplish each day.  They prepared the home with protective coverings and began work.

 

All of the original insulation was removed via a truck mounted vacuum system.  Only a 6” hose is brought into the customers home and the material is vacuumed directly out into our box trucks and removed and discarded.  The attic was air sealed (interior and exterior top plates, wire runs, chimney chases, pipe runs, electrical boxes…), new energy star ventilation baffles were installed.  The team built an air sealed insulated storage deck and built an attic pull down stair hatch cover. The attic was insulated with 17” (R-60) of TruSoft Cellulose.

 

The production team did an awesome job and Ray was very happy with the end result.

Canonsburg PA Crawlspace

Kristian purchased a colonial home in Canonsburg PA and he wanted to upgrade some of the items in his home.  He wasn't having many comfort issues, but he wanted to update the home so he could live in it forever and not have to worry about any issues later in life.

When our evaluation of the home was complete, we found that Kristian had some crawlspace needs.  The falling insulation and dirt floor were perfect scenario for cold floors above, critters to live, possibility of frozen pipes, and the possibility of mold from the moisture.

Take a look at our before and after photos and give us a call if your home looks the same.

Canonsburg, PA Insulation

Mr Robert was very uncomfortable in his home with how cold it is during the winter. After doing a bunch of research he decided to Call Christie at Home Environment Solutions to see if we could help. 

When Russ arrived at the house he informed Mr. Robert that he had a rodent problem at one point and needed to get it taken care of. Zach and his crew sucked all the old insulation and rodent droppings up. They then sanitized the area and was able to prep it for the new insulation. The crew air sealed and insulated using a scuttle cover and SilverGlo. After air sealing all penetrations and top plates, they blew in TruSoft Cellulose. 

Robert was very please with house curtious the crew was and how soon he felt a difference in the rooms.  

Finleyville, PA Insulation

Gabe D. of Finleyville PA was having uneven heated rooms; cold in one room but warmer in other rooms. Gabe called around and he wasn't happy with anyone until he called Home Environment Solutions and talked to Christie. Christie explained that we needed to have our Certified Energy Consultant come inspect his home so we could give an exact estimate. 

Once Russ got there and went into the attic, Russ discovered that he had mold as well as the standard insulation. Cameron and his crew went in and made sure to dispose of the old insulation in a way to not cross contaminate the rest of the house. Once the old insulation was removed we used an air scrubber to penetrate deep into the organic material causing a profuse foam sucking it up with our Hepa Vacuum. After the area dries we then air sealed all accessible top plates and rim joists with ZypFoam. The SuperPlatform catwalk was covered with Silverglo to hold the blown-in insulation in place. TruSoft Cellulose was then blown in to our Dr. Energy standards of R60. The hatch cover was them airsealed and insulated with a Scuttle Cover. 

 

Canonsburg, PA Mold Remediation

Homeowner Mark of Canonsburg, PA knew he had mold in his attic. After researching a bunch of places he found Home Environment Solutions, when he called and talked to our office manager Christie he was very pleased to hear all the steps we would take to make sure that there was not cross contamination to the rest of the house. 

Russ, our Certified Energy Consultant, informed Mark that his old insulation was contaminated and he would need new. Zach disposed of all the old contaminated insulation, then used a solution that reacts with organic materials to generate profuse foam boiling the contamination to the surface for removal via the HEPA vacuum. After drying the cracks and top plates were sealed with ZypFoam. A storage platform was installed and insulated with SilverGlo. TiteShell Recessed light fixture covers were insalled over can lights and sealed with ZypFoam. A David Lewis attic stair hatch cover was installed and then TruSoft Cellulose was blown in. 

Mark was very happy when everything was done. He couldnt believe that the team was able to explain each step to him as they did the job and went the extra mile to make sure cross contamination didn't occur. 

McMurry, PA Saving the Garden

Marty in McMurry, PA loved the flower beds surrounding his new home but what Marty didn’t know when he purchased the house is that the flower beds were unusable.   Each time it rained all of the water would wash away and erode the soil and drown everything he planted.     Marty was at his limit when he noticed the truck in the neighbors drive way mentioned gutters.   Marty called and was full of hope after describing his problem and setting up his estimate. 

When Russ got to the home the first thing he noticed was there was no gutters at all.   He quickly measured the house, explained how the cutters would work to allow Marty to enjoy his flower garden and then sat down to pick out the colors.  

The Home Environment Solutions team showed up in the morning and by that afternoon they were done and Marty was planting bulbs and installing mulch under his new Gutter Guard Gutters.
