Alber Service Company Before & After Photos

This long term client was starting to develop mold in his basement. He had always had a moisture issue but it was under control with a sump pump, perimeter drain, and a cheap dehumidifier. The summer of 2025 has been really hot and humid, though, and the old dehumidifier was just plain worn out. The fact that it was leaking onto the floor didn't help either.

The problem was solved by three measures:

1. Covering his sump pump pit with a sealed cover to prevent evaporation into the basement.

2. Sealing the wooden rims of the basement to prevent outside air from leaking into the basement.

3. Installing a top-of-the-line Sedona dehumidifier that removes 100-pints of water per day and is Energy Star rated. This powerful dehumidifier delivers dry air clear across the basement to keep the furthest corner dry and mold free.

The home owners are now looking forward to staying cool on those hot summer days with their new High Efficiency Amana Air Conditioner.

These clients had to put their parkas on to do laundry in the basement! This 100-year old door was letting the wind in around, thru and under it. We framed a new opening and installed an insulated steel door to provide improved comfort and security.

Our customer's third floor was way too hot in the summer due to their air conditioning ductwork being exposed to those high attic temperatures.

To solve their sweaty strife, our team insulated the underside of their roof with a combination of high performance 2-inch foam board and fiberglass batts which lowered the attic air temperature dramatically.

The gas bills in this large Victorian home were approaching $1000/month in cold weather! We had previously sealed and insulated the house, which delivered big savings to the homeowners. But now it was time to tackle the old, inefficient boiler in the basement. The piping was a nightmare, as you can see in the before pictures. And despite the number of pipes, some rooms had no heat at all. We straightened the piping out, added some radiators in cold rooms, and replaced the boiler with a 95% efficient Bosch Greenstar that also produces domestic hot water. The homeowner is so proud of his heating system, he brings everyone who visits his home down to see the “mechanical poetry."
