Denim insulation is a fantastic product. It is something that is starting to be seen more and more on home inspections, as well as in listing advertisements. Many people let buyers know that their home has recycled denim insulation in the walls. But why so much excitement about this product? Here are just three things that makes this product great:

1. It is 85% recycled. So those old blue jeans that you threw away could very well have made it into someone’s walls.
2. It has great acoustics. The acoustical rating of denim insulation is about 30% higher than other insulation.
3. It isn’t itchy like fiberglass insulation is. And for a home inspector, that is one of the best parts, as we are the ones who are crawling through insulation all day.

The only real downside to it is the price, costing almost twice as much as other insulation.

As you can see in this picture of mold on attic sheathing, it is not a pretty site. But mold in the attic is something we find often enough on our home inspections here in Louisiana. To help prevent a mold issue like this in your attic, improve and maintain your ventilation. If your attic ventilation doesn’t work properly, then all of that humid air will build up and make conditions very conducive to a mold problem.
