Compressed or missing attic insulation
Why it happens here
Most Old Pleasant Grove attics were insulated decades ago with fiberglass batts that have since settled or been disturbed. In some homes, the insulation was never installed properly to begin with, leaving gaps around chimneys and knee walls.
Our approach
We use a blower to add cellulose or install new batts to reach R-49. We also air-seal the attic floor, which stops the convective loops that make insulation less effective. A thermal imaging camera helps us find the missed spots.
