Attic Insulation Photo Album: Duct work System Installed
A homeowner in Lubbock, TX, Carolyn, reached out for professional assistance with persistent ventilation issues in her attic. During the warmer months, the attic failed to properly release hot air, leading to excessive reliance on air conditioning. This, in turn, was putting undue pressure on her electric bills and increasing her monthly costs.
As local experts in insulation and ventilation, Fortenberry Roofing offered a Free, No-Obligation Estimate to assess Carolyn’s home. After a thorough inspection of the attic, we determined that the home was lacking sufficient ventilation. The recommended solution was to install a new ductwork and ventilation system, which would help regulate attic temperature more effectively.
This upgrade would provide immediate relief by allowing Carolyn to use less A/C during the intense Texas heat, ultimately leading to energy savings. By keeping the attic cooler and drier, the risk of future issues such as moisture buildup or damage to the roof structure is also significantly reduced, ensuring long-term protection for her home.
Before cutting attic vent hole
We found the best place to locate the new duct work system.
Air sealing issue
We found some additional areas of concern. This is a prime spot for air to flow freely into and out of the attic. This needs to be sealed off.
Duck work installation
We decided to place this duct work near the middle of the roof. Here is a view of the vent from the attic prior to adding the tubing.
Tubbing installation
Here we are pre-measuring to masked sure we have enough tubing to reach its destination.
Roof vent placement
We cut out a section of roof to complete the new ventilation system. We made clean and precise cuts to make sure this is properly sealed.
Vent Cap is complete
We use rust-free, galvanized steel to make sure this vent cap looks great, can withstand mother nature, and last for decades to come.
