Photo Album: Home Health Audit showed Lack of Insulation in Pinckney, MI
The homeowner had a roof leak at one point and mold growth caused, they were also told by a home health audit that they could use more insulation for energy efficiency. Mold growth was found on top the roof decking and rafters. We had difficulties fitting the bags of old insulation through the scuttle because the old insulation made the bags thick with only a few pieces in each bag. We also had difficulty with walking through the attic because the attic did not contain trusses and the rafters were hard to reach making it difficult to walk safely.
We used Mold X2 products, Durovent Baffles, ZypFoam, SilverGlo, TiteShell Can Light Covers, Can light flag markers, and Stabilized TruSoft Cellulose Insulation.
