The homeowner explained that he had just moved into the home and the upstairs of his home was much hotter in the summertime compared to the lower level of his house. The heater would also come right back on after shutting off. In the summer it would be 5-10 degrees warmer than the main floor. The problem was caused by the knee wall on the West facing side of the home lacking a proper thermal barrier, allowing the radiant heat from the roof to transfer into the knee wall and into the conditioned part of the home.
Lack of ventilation and insulation in attic space
Attic mold found during home sale.
Home owner had no storage, we built a custom cat walk for storage area in attic.
Our homeowners found their home a bit on the chilly side during this past winter season. During our inspection of the attic we found only 2” of insulation. Our homeowner wanted to use for storage also. We built a catwalk in the attic to allow for ample amount of insulation and a area for storage.
