Myth: Home Insulation Gets Moldy
Over time, with exposure to damp conditions, older installations of home insulation can become subject to the growth of mold and mildew. We are aware of this problem, and we plan ahead to prevent it. Our advanced Nu-Wool cellulose insulation material is saturated with an EPA registered Borate-based chemical fungicide which prevents mold and mildew. We carefully install vapor barriers along with our insulating products to prevent the penetration of water and moist air.
Myth: Insulation Will Settle and Fail to Insulate the Home
Older or improper installations of home insulation will settle over time, reducing the efficiency of your home’s thermal barrier. Valley Insulation utilizes the Nu-Wool Sealant System, a cutting-edge cellulose insulation system which adheres to the frame of your home, preventing settling and ensuring the quality of your home insulation remains ideal for years to come. With more than 40 years of experience, we utilize the best materials and techniques in the industry so the insulation installed in your home will stand the test of time.
