Can insulation contractors help me control moisture indoors?
Besides its thermal and noise-control benefits, insulation also helps you better control the moisture inside your home. Moisture is formed daily, because of activities such as showering or cooking.
Condensation inside your home generally occurs during the heating season, when vapor moves from the warm interior into the cooler exterior. Besides making insulation less efficient, condensation can also cause wood rot and the growth of mold.
To control moisture indoors, you can use vapor retarders, such as CertainTeed MemBrain, which doesn’t only prevent moisture from reaching cold surfaces and thus condensing, but also allows damaging moisture to escape through the wall outside so it won’t cause interior damage.
