Joe C. called home Home Environment Solutions saying he has what he believes to be mold in his attic. He also said the upstairs of his home never seems to maintain a comfortable temperature anytime of year. We sent our expert Russ out to inspect and to perform a free home energy audit. Russ found a microbial growth in the attic and also old loose insulation that was letting air escape.
Our mold remediation crew arrived, built a containment barrier on top of the pull down stairs scuttle with 3mil plastic. Under negative pressure not to cross contaminate the rest of the home. Removed all contaminated attic insulation and discarded. Air scrubber in attic, treated microbial growth and removed discoloration from the wood sheathing and framing.
Our insulation team removed and covered whole house fan, air sealed all penetrations with Zypfoam, insulated scuttle cover with Silverglo and air sealed, installed Silverglo foam board insulation and blown in Trusoft cellulose on attic floor.
Insulation was old and deteriorating. Knee walls were not insulated causing cold air to penetrate through the upstairs living space. We insulated with TruSoft Cellulose and used High Density SilverGlo to insulate. Creating a much warmer/cooler upstairs for the bedrooms.
