Air leaks
Electricians drill holes in the tops of wall plates to pass through the electrical wiring. These many holes combine together to allow considerable loss of conditioned air, not only causing the rooms below to be cold and drafty, but driving up the cost of heating and air conditioning.
Dead mouse
Rats, mice, birds, bats, insects... you name it. Once they make their way into your attic, make a nest in the cozy insulation, and often spend the rest of their lives there. Years of urine, droppings, dirt, and dust accumulate to provide the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of nasty microbes. Lawson Home Services always vacuums out all the old insulation and grime to start with a fresh clean attic floor before installing the TruSoft™ blown cellulose insulation.
Storage area
That's what we do - we put things in the attic where they are forgotten, often for decades. Dr. Energy can create a Super Attic™, a great place to store your belongings and provide a very warm blanket of insulation over your head to keep the heat in during those long cold drafty winters, and keep it out during those hot humid summers.
