While insulation is typically meant to last 20-80 years, the hot and sometimes humid climate in Orange County can decrease the effectiveness of your home insulation. The Santa Ana winds, water damage, pests, and time will also decrease its lifespan.
Whenever there is a major attic renovation, it’s recommended that old insulation be removed.
An insulation upgrade may be in order if you’ve got older insulation that’s not cutting it in our hot climate. During the peak summer months, inland OC homes can reach temperatures of over 100f.
Upgrading to higher-performance insulation with a better R-value can lower your OC home cooler and energy bills.
Wildfire is an ever-present danger in many Orange County communities such as Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Buena Park, Fullerton, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, Orange, and Santa Ana. Smoke or fire damage can contaminate insulation, spreading unhealthy particulates into living spaces. It’s safest to remove damaged insulation after a fire incident and install new.
Leaky roofs and busted pipes are common culprits of wet insulation in OC attics. That moisture can encourage mold growth and reduce insulation’s effectiveness. Removing and replacing soaked insulation helps ensure good indoor air quality and comfort.
Pests like squirrels, rats, and mice often find their way into cozy attic insulation in Orange County homes. Their nesting and gnawing damages insulation. Insulation should be removed and replaced to discourage lingering rodents.
Even in ideal conditions, attic insulation compresses over time, becoming less effective as an insulator. Fluffing up or replacing flattened insulation can restore comfort and efficiency.
