Blown-In Insulation in Georgetown, TX

Reaching the same R-value target takes noticeably more inches of fiberglass, which delivers about R-2.5 per inch, than cellulose at roughly R-3.7 per inch. Each material has trade-offs: cellulose packs denser and resists air drifting through the blanket, though it weighs more and settles more over time, while loose-fill fiberglass stays light, barely settles, and won't wick water if the attic ever leaks. Our crews read each product's coverage chart and blow to that material's own correct depth, because inch-for-inch the two simply are not equivalent.

Settling is the reason. Cellulose compresses more than fiberglass, and either way the blanket you see on install day sits lower six weeks later. So we deliberately install above the final R-target, planning the depth so the SETTLED blanket still meets spec once it compacts. A crew that blows only to the day-one target leaves you short after settling, and that quiet shortfall is one of the most common ways a loose-fill job under-delivers.

No, and that limit is worth understanding. Loose fill slows heat conducting through it, but air keeps moving right past it at top-plate gaps, recessed can lights, and every penetration in the ceiling plane. Blow it over an attic that was never sealed and the material just strains the air leaking by. Air-sealing is its own step and it comes first; the blown layer then handles conduction while the sealing handles leakage.

In most attics, yes. This is what we call a top-off: provided the existing layer is dry, intact, and free of mold or matting, loose fill drapes right over the old material and we add depth until the combined total reaches target. Where the old fill has been walked flat or crushed, we re-fluff or re-level it before blowing, so the fresh layer isn't resting on a dead compressed base.

Loose fill earns its keep by wrapping seamlessly around joists and wiring with zero gaps, and that only happens when it goes in at an even depth and the right machine density. Thin edges or under-fluffed sections turn into cold spots. Our process dams the eaves, dials in the blower density, and staples depth-marker rulers across the deck, which makes the installed inches a measurement you can read for yourself rather than a promise you have to take on faith.

The flue, first and always — masonry from that era predates liners, and nobody should light it on faith. From there, the attic: many square-area homes have insulation added piecemeal over generations, with real gaps between eras. Ducts went in wherever they'd fit. One combined inspection maps all of it, and the report doubles as a renovation-planning document, not just a repair list.

Often the report comes back short — and we'll keep it short. Single-story plans still hide the usual suspects, though: settled insulation, duct joints loosening in attic heat, prefab flues aging quietly. A visit every couple of years keeps the documentation current, which also matters for insurance and resale. If nothing needs doing, that's exactly what we write.

Fireplace service by October — after the first cold snap, sweeps across Williamson County book out for weeks. If you're bundling, September's ideal: the chimney and dryer vent get handled, and the same visit measures your attic so any insulation topping happens before the January bills. Duct sealing fits either side of winter; it pays in both directions here.
