Why It Insulation Integrity Important?
Just because your attic's insulation is up out of sight doesn't mean that it can't affect you and your home! If it's not functioning as it's meant to, that means that air is escaping outside rather than being trapped in to circulate and stabilize the temperature. Your air conditioning and heating will then have to run longer to make up for this, and you'll be finding a more expensive energy bill coming every month. If you notice this, as well as the temperature seeming inconsistent, you likely have an issue with insulation on your hands.
What Causes These Issues?
There are a variety of problems that can easily arise over time with your attic's insulation, including age itself. It only will last for so long before it starts to degrade, which then causes slouching that leaves gaps. A similar problem comes from rodent infestations, as they love to use insulation for their nesting purposes and will tear it up to do so. They also leave behind diseased waste in the process to infect it, posing a health risk. Moisture or water leaking in from pipes or the roof can be sucked up into the insulation and make a mold breeding ground. Mold will not only wreck it but will also eat into other parts of your attic. The spores released are health hazard as well if breathed in, so taking care of any harmed insulation quickly is for the best.
