When Should You Replace the Insulation in Your Attic?

Here are a few signs that suggest that you need an attic insulation replacement for your home: 

• Indoor temperature fluctuations 
  Do you have trouble maintaining a consistent temperature in your home? If this is the case, the attic insulation may have shifted. This allows hot and cold air to enter your home, undermining the ability of your cooling and heating systems to maintain effective temperature control. It is not always necessary to replace all of the insulation. Consult our insulation experts to discuss your home.
   

• Drafty residence
  Is it chilly in your house? Your home will experience a drafty environment if there isn't enough insulation between the indoor and outside air. Check your windows and doors before assuming you have an attic insulation issue. Is it possible to open them? If everything appears to be working correctly, proceed to the attic to inspect for signs of damage. Call your roofing specialist and ask about installing attic insulation if you discover the insulation is pulled up in areas or completely missing.

What Causes Damage to Attic Insulation?

Is your attic insulation damaged? Some of the main causes of damage to insulation are:  

• Pests
  Because the attic is usually dark, pests such as rodents and bugs find it warm and a safe location to breed. Some bugs use the insulation as a nesting site, while others go one step farther and eat it. 
  
  Although a pest infestation in the attic may be challenging to detect, it is critical to replace any damaged insulation and contact pest management as soon as possible. 
   

• Mildew and mould
  Mould is a typical issue with attic insulation. If your attic insulation is constructed of cellulose and fibreglass, make sure you deal with mould growth as soon as you spot it.
  
  Vent leaks that allow water to soak into the insulation are among the most common causes of mould and mildew growth in the attic. It's vital to remember that this health danger needs to be treated right away because it degrades your home's air quality.
   

• Ice damming 
  Ice dams form when warm air rises to the roof and melts the snow during the winter. The melting snow then travels to the roof's edges and gutters, where it refreezes and builds up over time.
  
  This deposit obstructs your roof's water drainage, allowing water to seep into your attic. Ice dams are more serious than they appear because they can cause severe structural damage to your roof.
