Detecting Insulation Problems
Look Carefully: Conduct a visual inspection for signs such as moisture stains, mold, or areas where insulation appears displaced or damaged.
Feel the Difference: During a cold day, step into your attic and check for areas with extreme temperatures that could indicate insulation issues.
Test with Technology: Use an infrared thermometer to search for those cold spots that might signal areas where insulation isn't working properly.
Solving Insulation Problems
Replace the Damaged: Remove and replace any damaged or displaced insulation to restore your attic's energy efficiency.
Seal the Spaces: Use foam sealants or caulk to seal any gaps that may be allowing unwanted air entry.
Add Extra Layers: If existing insulation isn't sufficient, consider adding more layers to improve performance.
Don't Neglect Ventilation: Ensure ventilation is working properly to avoid moisture and mold issues.
