More Insulation is Better
Adding insulation is a home maintenance task many homeowners will tackle at some point. However, more isn't always better.
"While you want enough insulation to prevent heat escaping into the attic, going overboard can actually cause problems," according to National Property Inspectors. "For instance, overloading your attic with insulation can cause the lower layers to compress, which diminishes its effectiveness. You can also end up blocking your eave or soffit ventilation, leading to heat or moisture buildup and mold problems."
