Respected Crawlspace Insulation & Air Sealing Company Charles County, MD

This homeowner in Charlotte Hall recently had a new room built above the garage for her daughter who was coming back home from college. The issue with that was that the room was unbearably cold. She did some research online and realized that she never had the room insulated. While online, she also found a company that could help her - Complete Home Solutions. 

To fix this homeowner's problem, we used a method that we call "drill-and-fill." The process is pretty much done how it sounds: we carefully drill holes along the wall in the room and fill the wall with closed cell cellulose insulation. We also installed weather stripping around the windows and door of the garage.

These changes have had an amazing effect. This room is now comfortable and ready for this homeowner's daughter. 

This homeowner in Sunderland, Maryland contacted us to provide recommendations for insulating their basement. Since the basement was unfinished, our home comfort specialist recommended that the walls and rim joists be insulated with spray foam.   Having access to the walls and rim joists before the basement was finished provided our crews with an excellent opportunity to access these open areas resulting in substantial airsealing opportunities.   Our crews spray foamed the basement walls with 2" of closed cell spray foam and insulated the rim and band joists with 3" of closed cell spray foam.   With a newborn in the family, this homeowner now has a very well insulated basement that will result in a comfortable environment for the entire family.

This client of ours had lived in his house all of his life. He grew up in this house and when he was old enough and had saved up enough, he bought it from his parents. He realized that a little remodeling work needed to be done to update the house and set out finding companies to help him do it. One project that he needed done involved insulating the attic. 

This client had looked into a few different companies for the attic work that he needed to get done, but ultimately was won over by Complete Home Solution's honesty and integrity. Some of the work that we did for this client included spray foaming open penetrations and gaps, insulating existing vent pipes, and blowing in loose fill cellulose insulation. 

Having this work done ensured a more comfortable home at an affordable cost. This homeowner can be sure that he'll enjoy his home for many more years to come!

This homeowner had a real problem with the first level of his house. His floors were always cold. This meant that winters in his house were especially cold. He thought he had found the problem when he peeked into his crawl space and saw that his batt insulation was falling out of place. Just to be sure, though, he decided to call out an expert to take a look.

Complete Home Solutions sent out one of our Home Comfort Specialists to investigate. He found that the crawl space definitely had something to do with our homeowner's comfort issues. It didn't just stop with the falling insulation, though. The crawl space needed air sealing to really deal with this. What surprised the homeowner was that the attic was also contributing to his discomfort. Essentially, cold air was coming in through the crawl space, and warm air was escaping through the attic. By treating both areas, we created a thermal barrier that kept the conditioned air in the living space - which is right where we want it to be. No more cold floors for this homeowner: just a warm, comfortable house.                                                                                       

This stay-at-home mom had a problem - the upstairs of her house got crazy hot in the summer. After having lived in this house for a few summers now, she finally decided that she was tired of being hot! Not just her either - her kids (whose bedrooms were upstairs) were tired of being hot too. Needing a solution that would work for her house, she asked Complete Home Solutions to figure out a way to keep her and her kids cool this summer. 

She made the right decision. Our Home Comfort Specialist determined that fixing the attic would fix this home's comfort problem. Air sealing  and insulating this attic  with blown-in cellulose would stop the extremely hot air that builds up in the attic from infiltrating the living space. Basically, the hot air stays out and the cool air stays in, creating a much more livable and comfortable home for this family. 

This homeowner from Newburg, MD had lived in his house for quite a while. Over the years, additions had been built onto both sides of the house and both additions, as well as certain rooms in the main house, would without fail turn freezing cold in the winter. After having put up with this for years, our homeowner finally decided to look for a reliable home comfort expert to solve him problem. Lucky him, he found Complete Home Solutions!

We went out and performed a whole house analysis to figure out what was causing all of this discomfort. We came across two big problem areas - the attic and the crawl space. Fortunately, we knew just how to take care of this. In the attic we needed to install a thermal boundary. This involved us installing an attic tent over the attic opening, air sealing  attic penetrations (such as top plates, plumbing, ceiling fixtures, etc) with caulking, and installing TruSoft cellulose insulation. In the crawl space we needed to install insulation into the crawl ceiling (where it meets the floor), insulate the ductwork that was located down there, install a vapor barrier, and air seal the rim and band joists with spray foam  sealant. 

We certainly had our work cut out for us, but we know how to get things done here! After we finished making these upgrades to the home's attic and crawl space, the homeowner almost immediately noticed an enormous difference! We were thrilled to have helped this great guy feel comfortable in his home (and save a lot of money too)!

John recently called Complete Home Solutions to address humidity issues throughout his home. Following a full home evaluation from one of our trained Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that the issue was caused by a lack of air movement in the home due to an oversized A/C unit and air handler. With an oversized system, it doesn't cycle air as frequently as it should, given the size of the home.  This causes air to become stagnant and not properly in and out of the house, and in humid conditions could cause moisture and organic growth problems as well as producing musty smells in certain areas. Our solution to this problem is to install and whole-house dehumidifier that filters out any air that is above our recommended level of 50-55%.

The homeowner noticed an immediate difference in not only the comfort of his home but also the elimination of an any musty odors.

Krista recently noticed that her energy bills were getting higher and higher, even during the periods of the year when she had seen drops in the past.  To get some answers she called Complete Home Solutions for a Home Energy Audit. Our Home Comfort Specialist conducted the audit and noticed that her ductwork in the attic of the home was not treated, and she had old batt insulation in the attic as well. These two problems were a red flag that needed to be addressed. With no insulation around the ductwork, her HVAC system was working overtime to keep the house filled with comfortable air. This problem occurs when air leaks out of your ductwork and doesn't make it efficiently into your vents, as well as causing air to condensate during the summer months. 

The old insulation in the attic was covering up problems as well. The attic had not been air sealed which allows the conditioned air to escape the living area and exit the home through the attic. 

On the day of the installation, our Home Comfort Technicians removed the old batt insulation before using our 2 part closed cell spray foam to seal the ductwork. They then air sealed any top plates recessed lights, and outlet covers to prevent air from escaping the home. The final step was to blow in new Cellulose insulation in the attic to properly insulate the area to current standards. 

Krista noticed improvement immediately in her monthly utility bill and is eager to see how much her energy usage drops for years to come.

Our Home Comfort technicians were able to dig a deeper trench, re-run the dehumidifier condensate line, and set the new sump pump in just a few hours.

Jenny had used Complete Home Solution in the past for HVAC services. During the seasonal A/C tune-up, Chase was informed about the other services we offer, including our Home Energy Audit, which examines your home and systems for energy inefficiencies. After signing up for the audit, our Home Comfort Specialist recommended improving the condition of the attic insulation in the home which would help keep the conditioned air in the home.  On the day of the job, our Home Comfort Technicians began by air sealing any seams, outlets, and recessed lights in the attic using our fire block spray foam; this process keeps any air from leaking out of your living space into the attic of your home. The next step was ensuring that all bath fans are properly vented outside the home through the siding or roof. The final step is blowing in 16 inches of stabilized cellulose insulation to provide a proper barrier between the attic temperatures and your home.
