Consult About The Materials

Address Air Leaks And Moist Walls
Make sure there are no spaces for leaks or air to escape in the house. Whether it is on the walls, roof, or any part of the house. Make sure everywhere is tightly sealed before the insulation is applied to the spaces. Even the tiniest of leaks should be properly sealed before the insulation process begins.
