Why Missing Insulation Matters in Your Home (San Antonio & Hill Country)

Most people never think about the insulation inside their walls — but missing insulation is one of the most common issues I find during home inspections.

And it can create problems you feel every day.

🔥 Uneven Temperatures
Hot rooms in summer? Cold rooms in winter?
That usually means insulation is missing or has shifted inside the walls.

💸 Higher Energy Bills
When insulation isn’t doing its job, your HVAC has to work harder.
That leads to higher bills and more wear on the system.

🔍 Thermal Imaging Exposes the Hidden Issues
I use thermal imaging to spot insulation gaps behind drywall — no cutting, no guessing.

🏡 Even New Homes Need Checking
Builders sometimes miss areas, which is why phase inspections are so important on new construction.
