Meet Rachel

Rachel served in the Army National Guard. Her home was built in the 1940s, and its walls are empty: no insulation at all. On Hero Day, both crews show up to change that.

The plan for Hero Day

Two crews, one house

Hometown Hero · USA Insulation
The USA Insulation crewFills the empty walls from the outside, then the attic and the band joist, so the whole house holds its heat.
Hometown Hero · Mold Medics
The Mold Medics crewAfter an assessment of her home, the Mold Medics crew takes care of what it needs: mold testing, mold remediation or air duct cleaning.
