For the average person, it’s not easy to tell when your attic insulation needs to be repaired or replaced. Unless you notice visible damage to your insulation, you may miss some of the common symptoms of insulation damage. Mr. Handyman of The Woodlands is here to help you identify faulty sections of attic insulation and repair them for you. With years of experience, we can help you understand how your damage occurred and give you tips for preventing similar issues in the future. Below you can find some of the most common signs that your insulation may need professional attention.
Falling or Shifted Insulation
Your insulation should be firmly fixed in place. Insulation is most effective when it is attached to walls, ceilings, and floors. If you notice that your insulation is falling, hanging, or drooping, you can be certain that you need to repair or replace it. Attic repairs on insulation for these problems are often quick and simple, depending on the condition of the insulation.
Increases in Energy Consumption
Properly installed attic insulation should offer you energy savings and improve your home’s overall energy efficiency. So, you may notice changes in your home’s energy consumption when your attic insulation becomes compromised. If you’re heating or AC systems need to work harder than usual, that may be a sign that you need insulation repair services.
Inconsistent Internal Temperatures
When your attic insulation is in disrepair, you may notice inconsistent internal temperatures in your home. As insulation fails to maintain temperature levels, it will often be more obvious in areas near the damaged insulation. Poor insulation will usually affect some rooms more than others. So, if you notice inconsistent temperatures in your home, you may be able to trace the problem back to your need for insulation repairs in your attic.
Moisture Intrusion
Water damage can cause a lot of problems, from rotting wood to mold growth. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that excessive moisture can ruin their attic insulation too. When insulation gets wet and water-logged, it loses the pockets of air within and can even begin to deteriorate. If you have had a leak or other form of moisture intrusion in your attic, you will very likely need to repair your attic insulation.
Noticeable Noise From Outside
Your insulation doesn’t only control temperatures. It also absorbs noises from the outside world, like lawnmowers, airplanes, and nearby construction equipment. When your attic insulation needs to be repaired, you may hear the difference. If external noises seem louder, you should consider having your insulation inspected by Mr. Handyman of The Woodlands.
Pest Infestations
Rodents, insects, bats, and other common pests can wreak havoc on your attic insulation. If you discover that your attic has been infiltrated by unwanted pests, they may have been using your insulation for a home. Nesting in insulation is very common for many pests. When they chew up your insulation, it will lose its effectiveness and need to be replaced. So, after you resolve any attic pest infestation, you should call Mr. Handyman of The Woodlands.
