Photo Album: New Cellulose Insulation in Ann Arbor, MI

The homeowner explained that her home still has Knob and tube electrical wiring running throughout the attic and that she was having electricians coming over to remove it and install modern wiring cable but that they could not perform the work unless the insulation was completely removed. The only symptom of the problem was that the insulation was in the way for the electricians being able to perform their work and it needed to be removed. Our solution was to vacuum out the old insulation, air seal all of the penetrations in the in the attic floor top plates, bond plates, wire and pipe penetrations. We also cover the recessed lighting with can light covers, encapsulate the ducts in the attic with spray foam insulation and then install cellulose insulation to an R60 value.
