Attic Insulation Photo Album: Attic Insulation in South Lyon, MI

The homeowner went into his attic and thought he saw what he thought was mold. The symptoms of the problem were high humidity and heat in the attic. Rusty water droplets were found all over the attic floor insulation and a musty smell could be detected in the attic. One of the challenges that we faced during the installation process was the heat inside the attic. It was roughly 90 degrees outside making the inside temp of the attic around 130-140 degrees. Despite the pitch of the roof, we were able to get a sprinkler on the peak of the roof to help lower the inside temperature of the attic. We used a combination of products to achieve our end results. We used, Mold X2 products, DuroVent rafter vents (Baffles), 7/16" OSB for covering the drop soffits, R20 SilverGlo Polystyrene Foam Board, TiteShell Recessed Light Fixture Covers, Firelock ZypFoam, Owens Corning 1/2" Foamboard, All Grip 60 Adhesive, Weather-stripping and TruSoft Cellulose.
