Does Your Finished Basement Shows These Symptom?
Detect and resolve issues in your finished basement, such as electrical, plumbing, structural, ventilation, and moisture concerns, for a safer and more comfortable living environment.
Fiberglass Batts & Blankets
Often in a finished basement there is a crammed bathroom, kitchen or sink. Without insuring proper ventilation, you’ve set up your basement and therefore home with inadequate drainage producing more problems down the road.
Electrical Issues
If the electrical work was not done to code and without permits, there is a high chance that the electrical design created poses unsafe conditions to anyone living in the house.
Structure Issues
Any changes made to the foundation of the home can have unseen effects on your homes integrity. this includes enlarging windows, putting in doors, etc.
And what about fire safety? if there is bedroom in the basement but no doors or windows to leave in an emergency that creates an unsafe living condition.

Ventilation Issues
Finishing a basement means that your HVAC system will now have to take this new area into account as well. Which it doesn’t do automatically.
You can have your HVAC system re balanced for the added area so that you aren’t wasting energy and money trying to mediate the airflow throughout your house.

Moisture Issues
Basements start underground and no matter what materials were used to make the foundation, the pressure from the ground forces moisture through the building materials.
Making things worse is when the basement ends above ground, the temperature near the ceiling will change according to the outside temperature. This temperature difference means that if there is any airflow against he foundation wall, thee will be moisture condensation.

Romuno and his team came on time and were very cordial and friendly. They discovered
an issue with some electrical work while working on the insulation, which I was surprised and happy about, and were able to rectify the situation easily and at a great value, considering the timing of the project, etc. Romuno made it clear he want to ensure my satisfaction throughout the process. When finished, the job site was cleaned very well.
I highly recommend this company and all its team members and hope to do more projects in the future with them!

Romulo & Alvaro did a great job installing everything. Cindy, Frank and the Green Attic team
were extremely attentive. I love how easy they made the process, everything is online even the rebates.
BONUS: I originally reached out to them to check for mold free of charge.

These guys did a great job! Great price, quality service, and they offer several payment
options and plans. I thought we bought a lemon of a house and the insulation and sealing job they did fixed all of our issues and were so thrilled! Highly recommend these guys. Plus they are local so it’s great supporting a chicago based company.

Highly recommend Green Attic. Scheduled to have my attic re-insulated and Romulo
and his crew did a fabulous job. The attic was in pretty bad shape prior to the work getting done and green attic made it look so good. The crew worked efficiently and got the job done in 2 days. I also asked Romulo to install a couple other things on my roof outside of the scheduled project and he very kindly and willingly did so without hesitation. Very pleased with how everything turned out. Thank you so much for a job well done! Before and after pics below.
