Midwest City grew up alongside Tinker Air Force Base, east of Oklahoma City along I-40. Much of its housing went up between the 1940s and the 1960s for base workers and military families, with smaller ranch homes and modest attics.
Those homes were built when a few inches of rock wool or fiberglass was normal. Today many still have that original layer, now packed down to 2 or 3 inches, with open top plates and ceiling fixtures that leak air straight into the attic.
We serve Midwest City from north-central Oklahoma City via I-35 and I-40, with free estimates seven days a week.
Attic Insulation for Midwest City Homes
Because these attics are small and low-sloped, air sealing has to happen before insulation goes in. Once the attic is full of insulation, reaching the top plates at the eaves becomes very difficult.
Many Midwest City homes are rentals or have changed hands several times, and we often find bath fans venting directly into the attic. We reroute those to the outside so moisture does not soak the new insulation.
Older homes near Tinker sometimes have vermiculite in the attic. We check before any removal and recommend testing if we see it.
