Photo Album: Proper Attic Insulation for Portland, OR
This homeowner had us out to check on their basement, it had some leaks that would need to be addressed. While there, the design specialist offered to perform an attic inspection as well. The homeowner chose to have this done as they hadn't paid any mind to the condition of their attic and didn't know how it was holding up. Upon inspection, there was a huge mess, and the homeowner claimed their heating and cooling costs did seem to be going up. We installed a basement waterproofing system and properly insulated their attic by pulling out the old insulation, air sealing the space, using new blow-in insulation and creating a deck for them to walk on in the attic.
