If you have had rock wool insulation blown in when the house was built years ago, it has probably now settled and might only be about two inches deep now. We can add some cellulose to it to make it thicker. To help with the R value, we can add fiberglass insulation perpendicular to the joists too. Remember, you cannot compress the insulation that we install in the attic or it will not be effective.
Insulate + Air Sealing
We are going to make sure that the sides of the drywall are not leaky. Next, we look to see if the backdraft damper is working. It may be very foggy up there. We pay special attention to air sealing when completing the installation of your attic insulation. Please understand that for insulation to work effectively, we must keep the attic area airtight. Our goal is for the insulation to have a true R value. Air sealing of your attic means that we use canned foam as well as tank closed cell foam. Some points of concern we may address include where drywall is budding the top plate causing air leaks. We prep and then go to work with our kit of closed cell foam at wall intersections. Also, we address the ceiling boxes/junction boxes that could be connected to your ceiling fans. The foam just expands into place.
