Before & After Photos

Donald called Complete Home solutions after another year of uncomfortable conditions in his Crofton, MD home. In the winter months, he struggles to keep it warm, and in the hot summer months, the upstairs is unbearable.  Following a Home Energy Audit, conducted by one of our trained Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that the condition of the home's attic was the main culprit in the home's uncomfortable home. On the day of the job, our Home Comfort Technicians began air sealing the attic with fire block spray foam.  The spray foam is applied to our recessed light covers, top plates, and any outlets in the attic to ensure that the air you pay to heat or cool stays in the living space of your home. The next step in this attic was to vent the bath fans out through the roof. If your fans are not vented properly, it can create moisture issues in your attic. The final step of this attic project was to blow in new Cellulose insulation, which creates a 16 inch barrier between the attic condition and the rest of your home. As you can see in this picture, we install rulers throughout the attic to show our customers just how much of a difference our insulation makes. Eric noticed an immediate difference, even in mild temperatures, and can't wait to see how his house performs in the hot and humid summer months ahead.

Sometimes the perfect way to solve humidity problems in your home is simple. In the case of Kari's house in Crofton, MD, we were able to replace this bulky generic dehumidifier that can be found in most homes with our smaller more efficient AprileAir dehumidifier. The new dehumidifier will not only run more efficiently but is also connected to a pump which automatically drains into an external water source. This adds an extra level of convenience to Kari who will no longer have to empty those large buckets which fill up with water.

Approximately 40-60% of the air that we breathe in our homes comes from our crawl space. So, if your crawl looks anything like the picture featured on the left, you're in trouble. Damp, musky, dirty air is traveling right into your living space and into your lungs. This homeowner did the smart thing and got Complete Home Solutions to come out and fix up her space.

One of the keys to a healthy crawl space is laying down a vapor barrier (that's the white sheet you see in the picture on the right). It stops moisture from forming in your crawl (and moisture in your crawl is never a good thing). We also air sealed the ceiling and put in insulation. Now this homeowner has a safe and healthy home. 

The two things that every attic really needs are air sealing and insulation...and not just any insulation. For instance, the insulation in this "before" picture is definitely NOT what the attic needs...old, dirty, and uneven. An attic like this is bound to be inefficient (which means discomfort in the summer and winter). The homeowner had CHS come out and show them what their attic really needed.

Our crew of experts air sealed the attic up, removed any of the old insulation that was completely ineffective, applied blown in cellulose insulation, and built an insulation dam so that the area would still be accessible to the homeowner when necessary. Now we have an attic that is doing its job - keeping the home comfortable. 

When you see insulation like this in your attic, you should notice a problem. When there are "dirty" patches like this, that means air is filtering right through the attic. Complete Home Solutions knows that an attic needs good air sealing and insulation (in this case cellulose insulation) in order to provide a healthy and comfortable home.
