Even with high-quality materials, Strategic Spray Foam Insulation, LLC can sometimes underperform. Signs of poor performance include uneven temperatures, high energy bills, or persistent drafts. These problems usually stem from improper installation, air leakage, or moisture infiltration. Troubleshooting insulation issues early can save you money and prevent structural damage.
The first step is to identify where your insulation is failing. Attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities are common trouble spots where heat loss and moisture intrusion occur.
Diagnosing and Fixing Common Problems
Use an infrared camera or energy audit to locate cold spots and air leaks. If insulation appears compacted, damp, or discolored, it’s likely losing efficiency. In such cases, replacing damaged sections and improving attic ventilation can restore effectiveness.
According to Home Energy Audit experts, gaps around ducts, pipes, and chimneys are major causes of air infiltration. Sealing these openings with caulk or foam before reinstalling insulation is crucial.
Another frequent issue is uneven coverage—especially with blown-in materials. Ensuring uniform thickness across all areas helps maintain consistent thermal protection. Addressing these problems promptly ensures your insulation performs optimally and keeps your home energy-efficient year-round.
