Attic rain is a condition where moisture accumulates in your attic and freezes during cold temperatures. This frost then melts when the weather warms again and soaks your attic. If you don’t notice early enough or take the proper precautions you’ll end up with mould in your attic and ceiling. As you know, temperatures in Alberta commonly swing between cold and hot conditions, so this is a common issue for home owners that don’t have enough insulation in place.

Your attic is one section of your home that can bring significant energy savings.

Homeowners with sufficient attic insulation can end up saving upwards of hundreds of dollars every year in energy costs.
