The problem
Mr. Omar had several problems with his attic:
- Lack of insulation
- Insulation in the soffits prevents air circulation in the attic
- Ice dam on the roof in winter
- Condensation on the ceiling on the upper floor.
The solution:
Remove the wool to seal all air leaks on the attic floor such as joints, holes, and recessed. Install vents throughout the soffits to allow airflow into the attic. Insulate the chimney and then blow out just over 16” of cellulose fiber to achieve an R-60 value.
