Conditions That Need Review Before Insulation
Some attic, wall, crawlspace, or rim-joist conditions should be reviewed before insulation is added. Moisture, roof leaks, mold-like staining, pest contamination, bathroom fans venting into the attic, blocked soffit vents, unsafe wiring, recessed light clearance, vermiculite insulation, or difficult access may affect the final scope and price.
