How Knauf Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
- Knauf EcoBatt with ECOSE Technology settling in 2×4 walls. The binder in this fiberglass batt can degrade faster in Converse’s heat-cycling climate, causing the batt to slump and leave a gap at the top plate. We remove the settled material and inject Knauf Jet Stream Ultra blowing wool, which fills irregular cavities and stays put.
- Knauf Insulation Board (MIB) creating thermal bridges at stud edges. Rigid board compressed between studs loses its R-value at the edges where wood framing conducts heat. We sister the cavity with high-density Knauf Jet Stream MAX and add continuous exterior insulation where accessible, breaking the bridge.
- Knauf Momentum blown-in fiberglass clumping in humid wall cavities. Converse’s spring humidity can cause Momentum to ball up in exterior walls with vapor barrier failures, creating cold spots. We extract the clumped material, repair the vapor barrier, then re-blow with conditioned air to proper density.
- Knafi Acoustical Board losing sound dampening in interior walls. The board separates from the cavity face over time, creating an air gap that transmits noise. We stabilize with injection foam or replace with properly friction-fit Knauf Acoustical Batts, depending on wall access.
- Knauf EcoFill WX settling in balloon-framed walls common in older Converse homes near Foster Road. These walls lack top plates, so blown material migrates into attic spaces. We install blocking, dense-pack with EcoFill WX at 3.5 lbs per cubic foot, and verify with infrared imaging.
Our Knauf Wall Insulation Process
- 1
Call and scope. A live person answers. We schedule a visit, and you’ll get a text when your technician is en route.
- 2
Blower-door test and infrared scan. We pressurize the house to measure air leakage in CFM50, then use thermal imaging to find exactly where Knauf insulation has failed or where air bypasses it.
- 3
Air sealing first. Top plates, electrical penetrations, and plumbing chases get sealed before any new Knauf material goes in. Seal the leaks first. Then insulate. The numbers will tell you if it worked.
- 4
Material selection. We specify the right Knauf product for your wall type, Jet Stream Ultra for open cavities, Jet Stream MAX for dense-pack applications, or OEM-equivalent aftermarket when Knauf stock is backordered.
- 5
Installation and density verification. We install to manufacturer weight-per-cubic-foot specs and spot-check with cavity-fill probes.
- 6
Final blower-door test and documentation. You get printed before-and-after CFM50 numbers, a photo record of the work, and your written warranty under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Why Converse Homeowners Call Topside Attic Insulation Converse for Knauf Work

Wes Okafor, our owner and lead technician, learned insulation fundamentals at Kennedy-King College’s building trades program on Chicago’s South Side and has spent two decades applying that training in Texas attics and walls. He and his crew know Converse’s housing stock, including the older ranch homes near Foster Road where unsealed top-plate penetrations have been bleeding conditioned air for decades.
We don’t lock you into one brand. If Knauf Jet Stream is backordered, we can specify Johns Manville, Owens Corning, or Rockwool equivalents with comparable specs. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job, and a live person answers calls 24/7. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. No voicemail loops.
FAQs
No, adding insulation to existing walls does not void Knauf’s product warranty, which covers manufacturing defects in the original material, not subsequent modifications. As an independent Knauf service provider, we document what we find and what we install so any future warranty claim on original product has clear baseline records. Call (830) 420-0953 if you need help reading your existing warranty language.
Repair is usually cheaper for partial settling, removal and replacement is cheaper when the batt has degraded or moisture has compromised the binder. In Converse’s climate, we often find EcoBatt with ECOSE Technology that’s past its effective lifespan after 10-12 years of heat cycling. We’ll show you infrared images of your walls and give you both prices in writing before you decide. Estimates are free.
Most Knauf wall jobs in Converse start within 3-5 business days of estimate approval, with emergency scheduling available for homes with active comfort or moisture issues. Same-week starts happen when we have open slots and your written approval is returned promptly. Call (830) 420-0953 to check current availability.
We use Knauf OEM products when lead times are reasonable, Jet Stream Ultra, Jet Stream MAX, and EcoFill WX are our standard specifications. When Knauf stock is delayed, we source quality aftermarket with matching density and R-value specs, and we tell you before we order. No proprietary lock-in, no surprises.
We run a blower-door test, a pressurization reading that shows in one number how much air your building envelope is losing, before and after every applicable job. You get printed CFM50 results and a photo record showing cavity fill and seal quality. If the numbers don’t improve, we find out why and fix it under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
