Attic Insulation Inspection in New Braunfels, TX

Depth and current R-value get measured first, then the air-sealing gaps get mapped: penetrations, recessed lights, ducts, and the attic hatch. The inspector also looks for moisture, mold, compression, and whether the space ventilates adequately. What you walk away with is a specific recommendation, backed by an actual measurement, on whether the attic should be topped up, air-sealed, cleared out, or left alone.

Watch for a few tells: heating and cooling bills that run high, rooms that will not hold their temperature, ice dams forming at the eaves in cold weather, and ceiling joist tops visible when you look across the attic. Each of those is a signal rather than a diagnosis; the inspection turns suspicion into a measured R-value instead of a guess.

Because they do two different jobs. Insulation slows the conduction of heat; it does nothing to stop air, and unsealed gaps around lights, wiring, ducts, and the hatch let conditioned air stream right past the material's rated performance. Piling new insulation over unsealed gaps is the most common reason an upgrade underdelivers, which is why a real inspection evaluates both.

Policies differ from company to company, so ask before you book whether the fee gets credited when you proceed with the work. What the inspection buys either way is a standalone assessment with an itemized scope for any insulation or air-sealing it recommends, and that document lets you put competing bids side by side on equal terms.

The stone almost certainly can; the flue decides. Those 1800s chimneys were overbuilt structurally but never lined to modern standards, so we scope with a camera and nearly always spec a stainless liner sized for wood. With that in place, a real oak fire is back on the table. Without it, we'd be trusting 180-year-old mortar with your house.

It's the first design input, before stone or style. River-corridor evening breezes are consistent enough to plan around: we orient the firebox away from the prevailing draw, deepen the box, and carry the flue high enough to clear the patio roof's pressure zone. When a site's exposure is genuinely bad, we'll recommend a fire pit instead — smoke goes up, not sideways.

Before drywall, ideally before your gas rough-in. Getting the chase framed right, the line stubbed to the correct wall, and the vent path reserved costs almost nothing during construction and real money after. Builder allowance units are usually the smallest thing that fits the hole — an hour watching alternatives burn at the showroom before you sign the selection sheet is time well spent.
