Verify that installation area is free of:

active water leaks, fuel leaks (i.e., gas, oil, propane), and pest intrusions

energized or undammed knob and tube wiring

uncovered electrical junctions

improperly terminated devices (ventilation fans, dryers, plumbing stacks, condensate lines, combustion appliance flues/chimneys, etc.)

insulation escape openings

Verify that installation area:

is intact, able to support insulation weight, and air sealed

has a sealed class I vapor retarder installed over all bare earth
