Despite the beautiful sunsets. South Florida is infamous for its heat index and humidity. Many homes in the Tri-County Area are known to have missing insulation. And as a result its inhabitants, owners, and investors are suffering the consequences in several different ways.

If a Home is not insulated properly from the walls, ceilings and floors. Several different factors start coming into play that begin to affect the general home structure in a negative manner.

FLOORS

Starting from the ground up, a water barrier is placed beneath the floor in order to prevent gases and moisture from rising into the property and its structural components.

FRONT, BACK & SIDE ELEVATIONS

Side elevations and their construction ( Cement Block, solid wall, or drywall and plaster ), all have different methods of moisture deflection. Improper installation can compromise an entire section of a home. Especially near the windows and door frames that have been exposed to the outdoor elements with out maintenance. While weep holes allow some structures to breath. Other unnecessary punctures on a house siding can cause lead to rodent and insect infestation.

ATTIC INSULATION

Attic Insulation ( Despite being continuously overlooked ) is one of the single most efficient manners to Heat Mitigate a home. Attic temperatures can reach up 250°. And without insulation, all this heat and energy gets transferred to the interior of the building.  

As a result the HVAC Unit is forced to work harder. This increases energy costs, while at the same time reducing the life expectancy due to wear and tear of unit and its forced output.

• HVAC Unite works harder

• Higher Moisture Levels

• Promotes the Growth of Mold

• Attracts Invasive Creatures

• Deteriorates a Home’s Aesthetics

• Paint Peeling ( Walls & Ceiling )
