St. Clairsville OH, home inspector Chuck C. has been refering customers to Home Environment Solutions for years now. He finally decided it was time to have his own crawl space encapsulated. Being a home inspector Chuck knows first hand just how important it is to properly maintain and insulate crawl spaces. During the winter months when hot air leaves through the top of your house, that air is replaced with air drawn in from the bottom. So if you have a dirty, moldy, stinky crawl space its going to effect the air you breath in your home.
Our certified and trained production team encapsulated Chucks crawl space using SilverGlo insulation board on the brick wall. And covering everything with a CleanSpace liner.
Lisa was having issues with keeping her St Clairsville, Ohio home warm in the winter. Russ came out for a free in home estimate and showed Lisa were she was loosing all of her warm air.
The HES team showed up and installed an insulation scuttle cover to air seal the hatch with SilverGlo foam insulation. They then air sealed the attic and installed blown in TurSoft Cellulouse on the attic floor. All of this will help stop the warm air from escaping Lisa's home keeping it more comfortable and affordable.

Edward from St Clairsville called saying he has mold in his crawl space and would also like to know how he can make rooms above crawlspace more comfortable. Russel went out to inspect for microbial growth and to perform a free energy audit. When he arrived he found old molded batt insulation, wire and plumbing runs unsealed and an uninsulated door to the crawl space.
Our mold Team arrived and prepared the space for treatment. They removed and disposed of all old insulation, used a surface and substrate cleaner for the removal of organic contamination and ran HEPA vac. Our insulation team then installed cleanspace encapsulation system with drainage matting, terrablock floor insulation and silverglo. Last installed a Dr Energy saver insulated door to access the crawl space.
Tina C. a Jewett, Ohio homeowner had some serious structural problems with their home resulting from a wet vented crawl space. The crawl space was damp and cold and was causing mold to form on their floor joist and main supporting beam. The main supporting beam was rotting and sagging causing the house to sink. The home upstairs had cracks and damage in the plaster from the house sinking below. There was evidence of moisture loving pests including termites, carpenter ants and even a raccoon caucus.
Certified Mold Inspector and Energy Specialist Mark O designed a solution to keep the crawl space clean, dry and mold free.
Foreman Larry S. removed the two rotting main supporting beams and replaced them. Foreman Mike Y. and his team installed a CleanSpace crawl space system, a SaniDry dehumidifier and an EverLast crawl space door.
The owner is thrilled to have a dry mold free crawl space that he knows he will not have to worry about and warm floors above. As an added bonus the crawl space can now be used as storage!
