Whether a 1970s Delray Beach house or villa has the insulation it needs

Not necessarily, and the only way to know is to measure. In Delray Beach, 16,036 housing units (42.8 percent) were built before 1980, and 9,886 of them in the 1970s alone (Census ACS 5-year). Attics from that era often hold insulation that has aged, settled or been moved during air conditioner work, and 4,955 attached homes may share roof space.

From the hatch, if you can see the tops of the ceiling joists above the insulation, the layer may be thin. We measure depth in several places and photograph the attic whenever possible. If it is dry, we usually blow more in on top. Insulation that is damaged is a different case, and we say so before work starts.

Attic checks for homes near the beach in Delray Beach

A little extra attention is sensible.

During the inspection we look for water staining, damp insulation and rust on metal fasteners, duct hangers and the air handler pan, and we photograph what we find whenever possible. We separate damp insulation from insulation that is only thin, since the fixes differ. Insulation can help reduce heat gain, but savings vary, so we promise no figure.
