Your recent attic consultation brought up ventilation and insulation. Did they talk about air sealing? Hot air is high pressure pushing on your ceiling. Air is lazy! It will find its path of least resistance and enter your attic. Homes need to be decompressed with the use of a blower door to find air leaks. Once this is completed or tech will use smoke bottles in the attic to find your air leaks.
Our certified field representatives will look for problematic areas and take a look at your attic ventilation system to be sure you have the right ratio of roof vents versus soffit venting to ensure proper air exchange in your attic. We will put together a no hassle report letting you know areas of improvement.
