Insulation is important because it allows the home to be more energy efficient, comfortable, and enables the house to be at its peak throughout the year. Attic insulation is essential for creating a more sustainable living environment in the home.

1. Inadequate Insulation — Having too little or flawed insulation can cause the home to work harder to heat or cool and cause bills and homeowner discomfort to skyrocket.

2. Air Leaks — Does your home feel drafty or have warm or cold spots? This can be due to air leaks in the attic caused by foundational flaws such as cracks or unsealed areas.

3. Age and Deterioration — After extended periods of exposure to the elements, insulation can deteriorate. We recommend that the insulation be replaced every 15 years depending on climate, damage, and exposure to moisture.

4. Moisture Leads to Mold — Gaps and cracks in the attic or on the roof can cause leaks, leading to mildew and mold accumulation in the insulation. Mold is dangerous to breathe and can cause many different health issues.
