Attic Insulation Safety in Summer

Summer heat often reminds homeowners to improve their home energy efficiency. Specifically, upgrading attic insulation is a smart way to keep your home cool and comfortable. However, older attics often contain hazardous vermiculite insulation. This material frequently contains asbestos. Consequently, you must exercise extreme caution before you add new insulation layers. You cannot simply cover up older, contaminated materials. Doing so only masks the problem and creates future risks for your family.
