Many people today want to convert their attics into living spaces to maximize square footage. However, there can be unintended consequences when transforming what was originally a vented or uninsulated space into an insulated and sealed conditioned area. We often encounter moisture problems and mold in attics that have been carelessly converted into living spaces. Why does this happen? In this video, we discuss the biggest problems that we see when it comes to attic conversions and remodels, the challenges that need to be addressed in old attic spaces, and why it is critical to prioritize condensation control, air sealing, and insulating in a way that does not reduce the long-term durability of the structure.
