Stopping Condensation
Proper attic ventilation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable home environment, especially during the hot summer months.Our expert solutions include the installation of baffles, solar attic fans, and bath fan exhausts, all designed to promote fresh air flow and effectively reduce extreme temperatures in the attic.By improving attic ventilation, we help create a cooler and more comfortable living space for you and your family.

Green Attic Insulation Can Help!
Thermal Barrier
Create a protective layer against heat transfer, improving energy efficiency and maintaining comfortable temperatures.
Moisture Barrier
Safeguard against moisture intrusion, preventing water damage, and mold growth, and maintaining a healthier indoor environment.
Pressure Barrier
Enhance structural integrity by preventing air infiltration and reducing drafts, ensuring a more airtight and energy-efficient space.
Surface Temperature Differences Create Condensation When Vapor Passes Through
Temperatures differ between interior and exterior, these temperatures bring vapor in the form of moisture. This is a common example of window condensation in winter. If the window is wood ( organic surface) it can easily be affected by mold and eventually rot.
Keeping the surface temperature above dew point will help reduce condensation. Common locations for condensation are:
✓ Attic Can Lights
✓ Cathedral Ceilings
✓ Bath Fan Exhausts
✓ Bedroom Windows

Condensation On Sheathing Contributes To Mold Spread
Interior moisture can reach outside sheathing and create condensation.
The Dew Point is the temperature at which this water vapor being held in the air condenses into a liquid. So, higher relative humidity the closer the dew point will be to the temperature of the air.

Vapor Barrier: Advanced Moisture Control
The Vapor Barrier should be on the warm side of the room in Chicago winter’s, but the location of the vapor barrier varies in other climates around the US.
Air should not pass through the building envelope into the wall cavity through unintentional gaps on the buildings envelope. A Sealed Cavity is essential and supplemental to insulation.

Extreme Conditions Causing
✓ Does the insulation thickness account for extreme weather conditions?
✓ Are gaps in the building envelope causing moisture?
✓ Does home contain vapor barrier and ventilation
✓ Cracking on type baseboard and crown molding
