Blown-in Fiberglass in Attic Located in Tallmadge, OH
Challenge
This homeowner called wanting a few knee walls insulated in his attic. Come to find out, the attic was in need of a lot more TLC. Leftovers from animal infestation had left the attic in disarray. In addition, the old batt insulation was falling down and the cellulose had settled over time. The lack of quality insulation in an attic can cause higher energy bills and polarized temperatures all year-round. The inspector informed the customer of the state of his attic and wrote him a detailed quote to get it fixed!
Solution
Installers came in on the day of the install and made sure everything was done as organized and detailed as possible. Since this attic was full of various pieces of old insulation and trash, they cleared all of it to prepare for the install. To do so, they used a high-powered machine to carefully extract the old insulation and trash that lay on the floor of the attic. Once taken out, the installers used another high-powered machine to blow in the fiberglass to R-38 value. This homeowners attic started at an R-19, so moving from that to R-38 immediately made the attic feel like a brand new space. Technicians got the project done in an easy, but thorough, 1-day install. This customer can now enjoy all of the benefits of a well-insulated attic!
