Although airtight homes are typically more energy efficient, they often have very poor indoor air quality because they lack outdoor air and circulation, trapping polluted air inside. Many homeowners may be surprised to learn that although outdoor air contains pollutants, indoor air is typically 5 times more polluted. What’s polluting your indoor air? Everything from household cleaners, paints, VOCs (volatile organic compounds) found in furniture and carpets, candles, beauty products, air fresheners, and, of course, mold and other allergens.
Attic Ventilation Services
Creating circulation is critical to improving indoor air quality in your home and ensuring pollutants and allergens are carried outdoors rather than trapped in the attic. Because each home is unique, the airflow, vents, fans, insulation, and other factors will differ.
Possible services could include:
- Remediation
- Air vent installation
- Attic fan installation
- Insulation replacement/installation
- Airflow analysis
- Painting
- Other services as needed
Our team takes a custom approach to understanding your needs and thoroughly assessing your home to develop the right attic ventilation solution for your unique situation.
Testimonial
Richard Keirnan of Solon, Ohio
Description of Work: “The two-day project included emptying our attic of all stored items and placing them in the garage, performing mold remediation, doing a final paint of all surfaces with special fungus-resistant paint, installing nine inches of new insulation, and replacing our soffit on the front of our house.”
Review:
“The project went as planned on time and on budget. Our project was composed of four stages:
1. Remove stored items from attic and place in garage for our sort.
2. Perform mold remediation that included a final complete paint spraying of all surfaces with light tan paint.
3. Add nine inches of fiberglass insulation to the entire attic area and add an insulated cover to the attic access door.
4. Remove soffit on front of house, unclog baffles to allow improved attic ventilation and help eliminate ice damming and replace with a new high ventilation soffit.
The Dutch’s team arrived with two helpers. They placed carpet protection down and ran special air filters to limit airborne dust and mold. The job took two days and they cleaned everything up and the end of day one and then did a final cleanup and vacuum at the end of the project. Everyone was professional, polite and worked hard. We would hire them again. ”
