In Centreville, Maryland homeowners were suffering from an abrupt odor coming from their crawlspace into the home. With three children living inside of the home, the owners knew it was apparent to get this problem fixed and fixed quickly.
They called out Dr. Energy Saver to find out exactly what the problem was and what were the necessary steps to take in order to fix this issue. As the visit ensued, homeowners briefed our In Home Comfort Specialist on exactly what issues they were facing. After crawling down into the crawlspace, the odor underneath was very crude and was in need of our services.
Our production team then went out and first, removed the dirty, smelly, and musty insulation that reeked throughout the home. Next, we took the proper precautions in making sure the humidity levels did not reach the level of condensation. We installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation System with Drainage Matting and Silverglo insulation on the walls. This prevents high humidity levels, much warmer floors for the homeowners, a more comfortable home, and lowers the fuel and electric bills.
Homeowners could smell the difference once the insulation was pulled from their crawl space and are very happy that they did not have to bear with disgusting odors anymore and a more healthy lving environment for their children.

The second floor of Rick’s home was uncomfortable in the summer. They had central air conditioning but the upstairs just never seemed to be cool enough. Upon inspection we noticed that the R-value, a measure of the resistance to heat flow, could definitely use some improvement. His attic also wasn’t air sealed. Can lights, electrical penetrations, and top plates were causing unnecessary air flow.
We removed their existing insulation, air sealed the attic, and installed 17-inches of cellulose insulation providing them with the recommended R-value of 60 (over twice their previous insulation level). With their attic reaching between 100 and 120℉ in the summertime, this new insulation will reduce the heat transfer happening and cool the second floor of their home making it more comfortable in the summer. An added plus is they’ll also require less energy to keep the home heated in the winter.
