What Does Insulation Do?
The most important function of the insulation in your attic is keeping your home's energy spending as low as possible! It keeps the air in your home trapped inside to circulate, rather than escaping outside. This ensures that your heating and air conditioning won't need to run as frequently to keep your house at a comfortable temperature. However, if you've noticed your bill steadily rising, this may be the cause.
What Might The Issue Be?
There are several common issues with attic insulation that can occur over time, one of which being time itself. Insulation ages just like any other part of your home and will begin to degrade. Slouching can occur over time, which creates cold spots.
Another problem could be related to rodents invading your attic. If you're aware that they've been around, you should probably get your insulation checked out. They tend to use it for nesting purposes, so their stay may have left it severely damaged and not functioning as it should be.
Water is also huge issue with insulation, as it not only harms it, but it can also cause mold to grow. This mold will eat away at your attic overall, as well as pose a health risk.
What Can We Do For You?
We'll come out quickly and get to work determining what the source of the problem is, and how best to fix it. Sometimes your current insulation may only need a little extra padding installed to help it regulate your home’s climate. If it is damaged, however, we'll carefully remove it and be sure that no particles pollute your home's air. After that, we can easily replace it with fresh material of whatever type you prefer. If you're not sure what the difference is between fiberglass, cellulose, and otherwise, we can help you decide which is best for your home!
