3 Signs Your Home Needs New Insulation

Weather Worries

If large icicles frequently hang off the sides of your home, it’s a good sign your insulation needs to be replaced. In warm months, the signs aren’t as visible but are easy to feel. If your interior heats up quickly in the summer, the insulation isn’t keeping out heat, and you’ll feel uncomfortable no matter how much you run your air conditioner.

Air Leaks & Exposed Insulation

Platteville-WI-insulationThe attic is a primary source of drafts during winter, and you’ll feel them in other areas of your home if there isn't enough insulation to block them. Exposed insulation, especially gaps in the floor joints, indicates it’s time for replacement.

Premature Rot

This situation occurs when your home’s warm air flows into a chilly attic and creates moisture. Since frost also can appear in this area, the combination of melting frost and accumulating moisture results in wet, moldy surfaces and premature rot.  Ask your contractor about purchasing insulation with the proper thickness for a crisp winter environment like Platteville’s.
