Signs That Your Home Has Poor Insulation 

A lot of problems can arise if your home is poorly insulated. These problems do not only cause inconvenience, but they can also cost you money.  If you have been doubting your home’s insulation quality, here are some of the signs you can observe for you to find out the actual situation. 
  • Unusual increase of energy bills 
If you notice that your energy bill continuously grows without any reason you are aware of, it might be that the heating or cooling system is working overtime to maintain your home’s temperature. The heat might be escaping through your doors, foundation, attic, and windows. This way, your home does not settle at a steady temperature. 
  • Mould and moisture 
Mould and moisture are among the most apparent signs of a poorly insulated and ventilated home. There could be a hole in your roof, or condensation has been happening in your home for quite a while now. As condensation rises, it can damp and eventually wet your attic and the objects there. As time goes by, the water will spread to the walls, ceiling, and other areas of your home and cause interior damage sooner than later. Improper ventilation is the most common cause of condensation. It is usually found in bathrooms because hot showers produce a lot of steam. Without proper ventilation, the moisture will eventually rise into the upper part of your home, giving mould the perfect environment to grow. Suppose you see any sign of mould and moisture at your home. In that case, you should only call professional roofers to determine and address the issue.  
  • Hot and cold rooms 
Inadequate ventilation is also one of the possible reasons for experiencing hot and cold rooms. If your home is poorly ventilated, your heating system will greatly suffer and might not function properly. A professional roofer can check your building’s insulation, measure its thickness to determine if additional or less insulation is necessary for your home. 
  • Cold draft 
A cold draft, which happens during the winter season, is the current of cold air being drawn inside a building. If your windows and doors are not properly insulated, they could release a lot of air. Because of this, your home will feel so cold inside. This is the reason why you should not only ensure that your attic is insulated correctly but your windows and doors as well.  
  • Animal intrusion 
Poor insulation can eventually damage the plywood, shingles, and other components of your home. This will make the exterior part of your roof defenceless against animal damage. Once these animals find the weak spot, they will do their best to break in, which can become a massive problem for you and your family. Not only that they cause inconvenience, but they can also affect your family’s health. By making sure that your home is properly insulated and ventilated, you can be at peace knowing that there will be no unwanted visitors to break in and reside with you.
