"Avoid them...their own intall tech walked into my house, looked at the work order and -incredulously- declared to me that 'whoever wrote this up...they were probably new. But this isn't going to solve your problem". That ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Drying Company completely botched the job. They failed to finish the work (offered some laughable small credit instead) and then sought civil remedy for an amount I don't owe. Oh, and they kept the deposit. To summarize: THEY BOTCHED A JOB AND THEN SUED THEIR OWN CUSTOMER. I was going to let sleeping dogs lie but now I'm going to use every consumer digital megaphone available. Just look at the photo! They were hired to spray foam my crawl space!! That's what they left...They claim this crawl space has been mitigated for pipes freezing."

"I sent my initial inquiry e-mail at 6:24AM, and Carlos wrote back at 6:52AM asking if he could come by that morning between 8 and 9AM. After having three other companies quote it, I selected Water Damage DMV based both on the cost of the estimate, his promptness and communication, and the clarity in answering questions I had. When Carlos arrived to do the work, he went right to it. He worked quickly and kept me informed about what he was finding and how it was going. When he was done with that, he put in humidifiers at first. The next day, he came with help to apply the mold-prevention treatment before adding fans to aid in drying. He checked in daily either in person or by text until it was time to remove them, at which point he came and did so. I was very happy to work with Carlos and Water Damage DMV. While I hope to never need their services again, if I happen to be that unlucky, I know who I will be calling."

The best type of insulation for your attic depends on your climate, budget, and whether your attic is new construction or an existing space. For example, structural insulated panels are ideal for new builds and offer excellent energy efficiency. In warmer climates, reflective insulation can reduce cooling costs, while blown-in, loose-fill, and spray foam insulation are great options for filling irregular spaces in existing attics. It's important to consult with a local attic insulation prol to determine which insulation type best suits your specific needs.
Absolutely. Insulating your attic reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, leading to lower energy bills and a more comfortable home year-round. It can also increase your home's resale value, as energy efficiency is a desirable feature for buyers. Investing in attic insulation is a smart way to improve your home's efficiency and comfort.
Yes, you can usually add more insulation to your attic over the existing material to improve its effectiveness. If your current insulation is dry and in good condition, adding layers can enhance thermal resistance. However, if the existing insulation is wet, moldy, or damaged, it should be removed and replaced to prevent health issues and ensure proper insulation performance. It's important to have a professional assess your attic insulation to determine the best course of action.
Insulating an attic can take anywhere from five hours to two days. The project length depends on the insulation material you choose, for example, spray foam insulation takes about one to two days to install. Another factor is if you need to remove old insulation before adding in new insulation.
Yes, you can over-insulate an attic, although this isn’t as common as under-insulating your home. Too much insulation can lead to inadequate ventilation, blocked vents, and poor air circulation, resulting in mold or trapping in heat. To avoid these issues, contact your local insulation professional about finding the right R-value for your home.
You typically do not need to hire an electrician for standard attic insulation projects if you're simply adding or replacing insulation. However, if your insulation work involves moving electrical wiring, installing new fixtures, or addressing any electrical issues, you will need to hire a licensed electrician. It's important to ensure that all wiring is properly handled to prevent safety hazards and comply with building codes. If you suspect any problems with your attic's electrical system, consult a local electrician before proceeding with insulation.
