Photos of mold on a set of basement stairs in Hamilton, VA. Stairs were cleaned within a contained area with negative pressure maintained. Stairs were cleaned with industrial strength Hydrogen Peroxide, with HEPA vacuuming before and after chemical treatment.
These stairs were in a basement room that had little or no moisture control. After addressing the moisture issue we provided detailed cleaning services to assure good air quality for the occupants of this historic home.
Proper continment was established and then a protocol of HEPA Vac, Treat with Peroxide, HEPA Vac was deployed in order to remove mold spores.
This before and after shoto series shows a vertical wall adjacent to an attic. Poorly insulated walls like this can allow hot air from the attic to radiate through the drywall and heat the room on the other side. Closed cell spray foam keeps the heat away from the wall and protects it from heating the room on the other side!!
One of the most important things to do before insulating an attic is to air seal it. Here is a before/after of an air gap that we found and sealed with our Spray Foam in Lovettsville, VA.
This home was leaking conditioned air from the HVAC system into the attic, causing the temperatures in the living areas of the home to be uncomfortable. We cleared out all of the old insulation, air sealed the ceiling, and put in TruSoft Cellulose insulation to keep the attic functioning the way it was intended. In addition to the improvement in insulation, the material used will help to reduce and deter the presence of rodents in the attic.
