Before & After Photos

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!

Tom reached out after having completed roof repairs recently, but he was still dealing with drafty conditions and higher energy bills. He also knew there were issues inside the attic that needed to be addressed.

When we evaluated the attic, we found that air leakage and insulation issues were allowing energy to escape, and access to certain areas was needed to properly address problem spots.

Our team focused on restoring the attic system the right way. We sealed attic air leaks, sealed penetrations and top plates, and addressed key leakage pathways that were contributing to energy loss. Once the attic was properly sealed, we upgraded the insulation to ensure full coverage and consistent performance.

By tightening the attic and rebuilding the insulation system, we helped stop air movement at the source and improve how the home holds temperature.

Now the attic is properly sealed, energy loss has been reduced, and the home feels less drafty and more efficient overall.

Matt had noticed a persistent musty odor coming from his basement along with concerns about excess moisture. While the basement wasn't used as a primary living space, the damp conditions were affecting the home's overall indoor air quality.

Many homeowners don't realize that air naturally moves upward through a home. That means moisture, odors, and airborne contaminants from the basement can circulate throughout the entire house.

Our inspection found conditions that had allowed mold to develop and humidity levels that needed to be brought under control to help prevent future problems.

We began by professionally remediating the affected areas to safely remove mold and restore a clean environment. Once the basement was cleaned, we installed a SaniDry XP humidity control system designed to maintain consistent moisture levels year-round.

Controlling humidity is one of the most important steps in preventing mold from returning. By keeping the basement dry, we help protect the home's structure, improve indoor air quality, and create a healthier environment for the entire family.

Today, Matt's basement is cleaner, drier, and protected against excessive humidity, providing peace of mind and healthier air throughout the home.
