Damaged insulation is under-performing or not helping at all. We have seen many cases where water damage in basements, crawlspaces, and attics, allowed mold to grow and much of the infested insulation had to be pulled out and replaced.
Other times we have seen insulation used in places where it shouldn't be. Like open cell spray foam used inside of sidewalls, next to studs, without a vapor barrier. This saps moisture from the insulation into the wood and causes the spray foam to literally crumble when pressure is applied. Insulation that crumbles at the smallest touch is not protecting you from the elements!

In the realm of insulation, susceptibility to damage arises from four primary culprits: pests, moisture, mold, and the relentless march of time. While certain insulation variants may offer enhanced resilience against one or more of these adversaries, none remain untouched by the passage of years. In the subsequent discussion, we will meticulously explore the four primary categories of insulation damage, dissect the potential issues that may arise, and provide guidance on identifying early warning signs to mitigate structural damage.
Insulation that has been compromised by water damage, pests, mold, or the aging process is no longer capable of fulfilling its intended function. To protect the building's integrity and create a more comfortable indoor atmosphere, it is necessary to replace or restore this insulation. Give your insulation a thorough visual inspection in accessible areas and keep an eye out for signs of deterioration, including: rising heating costs, evidence of pests or rodents, the presence of mold colonies, water-related problems, settling of loose-fill insulation, or distorted drywall.
