While insulation plays a vital role in home comfort and energy efficiency, that insulating material doesn’t last forever. Over time, insulation can deteriorate, allowing moisture intrusion, air leaks, and even potential health hazards. At Affordable Insulation of Oklahoma, we frequently get called to inspect and replace old, ineffective insulation before it leads to bigger problems.
The Risks of Aging Insulation
Failing to keep up with insulation maintenance can negatively impact your home in several ways:
Poor Indoor Air Quality – Gaps and cracks allow outdoor allergens, pollutants, and moisture to infiltrate living spaces when insulation is compromised.
Mold/Moisture Issues – Water-damaged insulation traps humidity, creating prime conditions for mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations.
Potential Health Hazards – Older homes may contain asbestos or fiberglass insulation that can release harmful particles when disturbed.
Higher Utility Costs – Deteriorated insulation allows heated/cooled air to escape, forcing your HVAC system to work overtime and driving up energy bills.
Premature System Breakdowns – This increased strain on heating and cooling equipment leads to more frequent repair needs and shorter lifespans.
