The attic was insulated with fiberglass
The problem is that fiberglass will not protect from mold growth. In addition, it takes a lot of fiberglass for the insulation to be effective.
The attic did not have ventilation mats
And these are very important to have as they allow air circulation in the attic and reduce humidity.
Brick chimneys must be insulated with non-flammable insulation
Air leaks around are sealed with polyurethane foam.
Electrical light boxes must be insulated
In this case, there was already a protective box on top, so we added polyurethane foam around it to seal the joint properly and prevent air leaks.
We blew 16" of cellulose
Cellulose is very effective as insulation and is safe.
