Photo Album: Remediation & Insulation in South Lyon, MI

  The homeowner explained while he was looking into the attic to find where he would be running new wires for new electrical outlets he noticed that his sheathing in the attic was completely black and mold was all over. The symptoms of the problem were very high humidity in the attic, stagnant air, mold growth present on all of the roof and gable sheathing as well as the trusses and insulation. One of the challenges that we faced during the installation was the whole house fan being directly in the middle of the main run of the attic as well as being in front of the attic hatch. This made it difficult for getting in and out of the attic. We used Mold X2 products, 4' x 22" DuroVent rafter vents (baffles), 7/16" OSB, 4" SilverGlo™ foamboard, 1/2" Foamboard, weather-stripping, adhesive caulk, ZypFoam™, David Lewis™ Whole House Fan Cover and TruSoft™ Cellulose.
