Attic Insulation Photo Album: Water Staining turned into New Blown Cellulose Insulation in Lake Orion, MI
The homeowner explained that she noticed some water staining on her ceiling and had a roofer come out to look for leaks. The roofer didn't find any leaks but did say that he found mold growth on a few parts of the roof sheathing inside of the attic. The problems in the attic were caused by not having a vapor barrier installed below the blown in fiberglass insulation was below R30. The other problem was caused by a birds nest in the eave that was completely blocking the soffit not allowing airflow to enter the attic. The homeowner now has a clean, healthy attic and is properly insulated for energy efficiency in Zone 5 of Michigan.
