Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Aug 20, 2014If you did not air seal the attic floor no amount of air or insulation will stop the ice dams. Remove the roof vent if your doing ridge vents. Cannot use both. Here is a quick idea of all the wrong things people do to their homes thinking they are saving money in the process. http://www.energyvanguard.com/blog-building-science-HERS-BPI/bid/76484/Why-Is-Clark-Howard-Giving-Bad-Energy-Saving-AdviceHelpful Reply

White Oak Studio Designs on Aug 21, 2014Thank you for your kind reply. This article is interesting and I will share it with my husband. Our attic is really just a unfinished crawl space that you cannot stand up in. There is a raw wooden floor in the center of the space that you crawl along on. So the insulation has been blown in on along and around both sides of the center floor. We have gable vents on both side of the attic for airflow so I'm not sure how to seal our attic further? I'd like to know more as to how this is done. I'll Google this first.Helpful Reply
