Attic Insulation Inspection

If a room runs hot, cold, or drafty no matter what you do, the answer is usually overhead. We inspect attic insulation depth, type, and condition along with the air-seal points that leak comfort away — top plates, can lights, plumbing penetrations — and hand you a written report with the R-value calculation and a clear improvement quote. It's the diagnostic that turns 'this room is just uncomfortable' into a specific, fixable list. No pressure, just the facts you need to plan.

What is it

What is attic insulation inspection?

Attic insulation inspection measures your current R-value, traces the air leaks and gaps, checks the ventilation, and looks for moisture or pest damage. It's the diagnostic step that tells you exactly what the attic needs before you spend a dollar on upgrades.

FAQ

Common questions about attic insulation inspection.

How often should the chimney behind a fireplace be swept?

Plan on a Level 1 inspection every year — that's the NFPA cadence — with an actual sweep once buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote. For a fireplace you light through the season, that usually lands at once a heating season. Think of it as the upkeep that keeps the centerpiece of the room clean, drawing well, and ready to look its best.

Are the people working on my fireplace certified?

Yes. The inspectors who assess your chimney hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications — you can confirm them in the CSIA member directory at csia.org — and our fireplace installations are handled by NFI specialists. The craft that makes a hearth a showpiece starts with the people standing in front of it.

Can you come out fast when something goes wrong?

Yes — emergency response is available 24/7 (subject to crew availability) for active water leaks, an animal trapped in the flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage, same-day in most cases. A fireplace is the heart of a room; when it's at risk, we treat it that way.

Will I see a written quote before any work starts?

Always. You get a written quote before a single tool comes out, with photos of exactly what we found. Final pricing tracks the chimney's real condition and anything additional the inspection surfaces — no surprises, just a clear picture of what your fireplace needs.

Is there a maintenance plan that keeps it all on schedule?

Yes — our annual maintenance membership runs $19.99/month ($240/year) and covers a yearly Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency-response priority. Cancel anytime, no contract. It's the quiet way to keep your hearth looking and working its best year after year.
