When it comes to insulation, Milwaukee, WI maintenance and periodic inspections are critical to ensuring that the home is properly insulated, providing energy efficiency and improved indoor air quality. When you schedule an insulation inspection, a professional can identify areas of concern and provide steps to remedy or improve them.

During a Quality Insulation Installation (QII) inspection, several key points are meticulously checked to ensure that the installed insulation meets the highest standards. For example, the inspector verifies that the insulation is the correct type and R-value for the climate zone, and that it is correctly installed around pipes, wires, and fixtures, maintaining its full thickness and coverage.

Additionally, the inspector checks that the insulation is not compressed or improperly cut, which could reduce its effectiveness. The inspector also examines walls and crawl spaces, verifying that the insulation is adequately installed in these areas. In addition, the inspector checks that the insulation covers all ductwork penetrations and identifies any gaps or openings that could cause unwanted air leakage.

Finally, the inspector checks for signs of moisture damage and pest infestations that could affect the insulation’s performance. In the event of damage or deterioration, the inspector may recommend that it be replaced, with the installer following recommended installation procedures. Owens Corning currently incorporates the QII inspection language into their product literature and guide specifications. They are also working to include the inspection language in their Johns Manville mineral wool and FOAMGLAS insulation master specifications.
