Before & After Photos

When Diane reached out, her single-story home was drafty, her energy bills were high, and her attic wasn’t doing much to keep temperatures steady. She wanted her home to feel comfortable all year long and needed better attic access for maintenance and storage.

Our crew air-sealed with ZypFoam, installed a properly insulated scuttle cover, and upgraded the insulation throughout the space. We raised the R-value rating with the installation of SilverGlo insulation panels and TruSoft Cellulose blown-in insulation. We also improved her attic access for better entry to maintenance equipment and utilize storage space.

Now, Diane’s home feels warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and noticeably less drafty, with lower energy bills to match.

Anthony contacted us because his home was difficult to keep comfortable during the winter. The upstairs rooms stayed noticeably colder than the rest of the house, and energy bills were climbing even though the heating system was running constantly.

After inspecting the home, we found that the attic system was allowing a large amount of conditioned air to escape. When warm air leaks into the attic, it forces the heating system to work harder and often leaves upstairs rooms feeling colder.

Our team addressed the issue by sealing attic air leaks, sealing top plates and penetrations, improving soffit areas, installing insulation dams, and insulating the attic access opening. We also upgraded the attic insulation and dense-packed areas that needed additional coverage.

By strengthening the attic’s thermal boundary, we stopped heat from escaping into the attic and helped the home hold its temperature more effectively.

Now the upstairs rooms stay warmer in the winter, drafts have been reduced, and the home runs much more efficiently.

Nick contacted Home Environment Solutions because of visible mold, musty odors, and concerns about the condition of the crawl space beneath his home. Many homeowners don't realize that the air in a crawl space naturally rises into the living areas above, meaning problems below the home can affect the entire indoor environment.

When we inspected the crawl space, we found moisture-related conditions that had led to mold growth and created the perfect environment for musty odors and poor air quality.

Our team began by cleaning and remediating the affected areas to safely remove microbial growth and restore a clean environment. Once the crawl space was sanitized, we focused on permanently controlling moisture.

We installed a complete crawl space encapsulation system using a durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier, drainage matting, and insulation to separate the home from the damp earth below. We also sealed and insulated the rim joists to reduce outside air infiltration and improve energy efficiency.

Encapsulation does much more than make a crawl space look clean. It helps control moisture, discourages future mold growth, improves indoor air quality, and creates a healthier, more energy-efficient home from the ground up.

Now the crawl space is clean, dry, and protected, and the home above benefits from fresher air, improved comfort, and long-term moisture control.

Joe L. a Steubenville, OH homeowner discovered that his home never had any insulation, which resulted in an uncomfortable home with high energy costs.

Certified Comfort and Energy Specialist Mark O. designed a solution to drastically improve the comfort and utility costs.

Foreman Mike Y. and his team air sealed the attic and properly insulated it with cellulose insulation to R60 for optimum results. In the basement the team insulated the rim joist with SilverGlo insulation and foam insulation.

 The owner was happy to report to us that he now has a very comfortable and energy efficient home.

This Steubenville OH, home owner contacted Home Environment Solutions because he was experiencing home comfort issues.  His upstairs is too hot in the summer and his basement is too cold in the winter.  This is a very common complaint we hear at Home Environment Solutions and we were happy to help. 

We sent our certified home comfort specialist out to survey the situation and it quickly become apparent what needed done.  This homes attic insulation was old and insufficient. 

We sent out our professional installation crew to air seal and insulate using TrueSoft Cellulose insulation.  This will eliminate their comfort issues and cut there energy bill in half!
