What does attic venting do?
Attic air vents are designed to let air circulate through your attic space and prevent moisture from accumulating. They also keep condensation from forming which would be an invitation to allow mold and mildew to form. Attic vents also keep the summertime temperatures lower, resulting in a cooler home, and in the wintertime they can help keep ice from building up and causing damage. Our friendly technicians will be glad to answer any questions you have about attic venting for your home.
Why should I have my insulation removed or replaced?
If your insulation has been damaged by water, pests, or age, any of these issues can render it useless. If you've been noticing your energy bill rising with no clear reason why, it may be because of faulty insulation allowing for cold spots and air leakage, making your home's temperature unstable and leaving the heater and AC to try to mediate the issue. For the sake of keeping energy costs manageable, it's best to make sure you have properly working insulation.
Can I clean my attic myself?
Certainly, especially if it's regularly maintained and there is very little dust. However, if it's been a long time since it's been cleaned, if ever, it's better to allow professionals to take care of it. When there is a thick layer of dust and debris from over the years, it can be dangerous to tackle without the proper protective gear and high-quality tools to ensure the dust doesn't wind up polluting your home's air. There may also be contaminates from pests, or even mold.
