We just bought a 90+ yrs house. The people we bought it from only used it during the summer. It has a very small attic that was added on some years later with the newer addition (80+ years). The house has blown in insulation, except for the attic. It looks more like they just lightly spread it on. My husband says we don't need to insulate it, but we have been remodeling and a lot of the blown in insulation has fallen out. I think we should re-insulate. I don't want to take a chance with high heating bills. What do you think? Thanks....

Basements, Attics and Crawl Spaces
Crawl Space Dampness

on Jul 17, 2000

New Home with drain tile at footing(with holes) and drain tile for gutters near ground level(solid pipe). In Crawl space you can stand up at one end and kneel at low end(lot slopes off at high end). After a hard rain you notice damp spots at high end in corners where house turns. Exterior cinder block coated with Sealent (black tar substance). Any suggestions--is this a future problem. Dirt is covered with poly.Read More
