• Why Air Sealing Matters Many homeowners add insulation without realizing that air leaks can significantly reduce its effectiveness. Even small gaps around top plates, light fixtures, and penetrations allow conditioned air to escape into the attic, wasting energy and making your home harder to heat and cool.

• Proper air sealing:

• Helps insulation perform at its full potential

• Prevents warm air from escaping in winter and hot air from entering in summer

• Reduces drafts and uneven room temperatures

  Helps keep dust, moisture, and outdoor air out of the home

  By sealing these problem areas first, we help create a tighter, more efficient home envelope that leads to long-term comfort and energy savings. Insulation & Air Sealing Package For the best results, we often recommend combining air sealing with new insulation. This approach ensures that air leaks are addressed before insulation is installed, allowing your system to work as efficiently as possible. Our insulation and air sealing packages typically include:

• Sealing top plates, light fixtures, attic access points, and penetrations

• Installing blown-in insulation to the proper depth and coverage

• Improving overall comfort, efficiency, and indoor air quality This combination is one of the most effective upgrades homeowners can make to improve attic performance and reduce energy costs.

Blown-in insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. At Mason’s Insulation, we primarily use cellulose insulation, which has proven benefits for both thermal performance and pest resistance. With roots in pest control since 1978, we understand how important it is to create an attic environment that helps deter unwanted pests while properly insulating your home.

Cellulose insulation is made from recycled materials and treated to resist pests, mold, and fire, making it a smart and environmentally friendly option for many homes. It fills gaps and hard-to-reach areas more effectively than traditional batts, helping reduce air leaks and lower energy costs.

That said, every home is different. We also install fiberglass blown-in insulation and are happy to work with any insulation type the homeowner prefers. Our team will walk you through your options and recommend the best solution based on your home, budget, and comfort goals.

Removing old or contaminated insulation is an important step in maintaining a healthy, energy-efficient home. Over time, insulation can become damaged, compressed, or contaminated by moisture, mold, rodents, or pests, which reduces its effectiveness and can negatively impact indoor air quality.

At Mason’s Insulation, we carefully remove old or contaminated insulation from attics, walls, and crawl spaces. Our team follows safe, thorough procedures to dispose of old material and prepare your home for new insulation. With decades of experience in pest control since 1978, we understand the importance of identifying and addressing contamination before it becomes a bigger problem.

Benefits of insulation removal include:

• Eliminates mold, moisture, and pest-contaminated insulation

• Improves air quality and home comfort

• Creates a clean, safe space for new insulation

• Maximizes energy efficiency and performance of replacement insulation

We handle insulation removal for homes of all sizes and work closely with homeowners to ensure a safe, clean, and efficient upgrade.
