Countless issues can crop up with your attic’s insulation. While some of these aren’t that major, some are. In a worst-case scenario, you’re going to need to replace your insulation altogether.
Fires are a prevalent issue that causes damage to insulation. The flames don’t even have to touch your attic to create problems; the smoke alone is enough to warrant a replacement.
On the flip side, water can cause severe damage, as well. If your insulation gets damp, it can become a breeding ground for mold and mildew. This growth can cause severe health problems, so it’s imperative you sort it out straight away.
