Blown-in Insulation Keeps Your Home Warm and the Underside of your Roof Cold - Boston, Worcester, MA

Ice dams form along the edges of sloping roofs. If your attic does not have adequate insulation, warm air can escape and cause ice dams. Once they do, the meltwater can cause your home’s paint to peel off and drywall to sag. The water damage can also leave rust spots and water trails that stain your home’s exterior. Quite a bit of damage can arise from ice dams, and the best way to prevent them is to have better home attic insulation.

Blown-in insulation in Worcester, MA reduces air leaks where heat can escape and cause ice dams. With the help of an insulation specialist, the required R-value in your attic will be determined and provided. The insulation can be blown in using special pneumatic equipment, filling spaces around the joists, rafters, and even the gaps in hard to reach areas in your attic.

It is often hard to see the savings in heating costs that you will have by adding home insulation. However, in a winter such as the one we are experiencing this year, where about 70% of Massachusetts is already experiencing ice dams, many homeowners can now see the benefit of having the right attic insulation.

Best of all, your home will stay warm and cozy even during the biting cold weather conditions like the record setting lows we have right now. To find out more about the benefits of blown-in insulation, contact the Custom Insulation Company, Inc.
