When it comes to parts of the home that tend to be “out of sight, out of mind,” our attics take the cake. Many homeowners in Frankfort and the Chicago Southland have never even stepped foot in their attics and are unaware of what things actually look like up there, let alone whether or not issues such as mold may be present. The fact is, mold that’s either in your attic, on the sheathing or visible on other structures can be a serious problem.
Spring has finally hit the Frankfort area. You’re probably already in the midst of cleaning and organizing other projects around the house. While you surely remember to store away winter clothes and clean the barbecue, it’s less likely that you’ve thought about checking your home’s insulation.
At Assured, we know that there’s simply no home performance upgrade that can make as noticeable a difference as insulation. This is especially true of multifamily buildings, which can utilize a great deal of energy if not insulated properly. As many as 90% of homes throughout the United States suffer from a lack of insulation, and this includes multifamily homes.
With the chill of winter behind us at this point, homeowners in the Frankfurt and area are beginning to look forward to the warmer weather ahead. The promise of being able to spend time outside in a t-shirt is reason enough for excitement, but so too is the chance to improve home performance before the heat of summer sets in.
