Verify that installation area is free of:

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

energized knob and tube wiring

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

unshielded high-temperature devices (non-IC rated recessed lights, chimneys, flues, vents, etc.) unless they are zero clearance devices

insulation escape openings

Verify that installation area is intact, able to support insulation weight, and air sealed

Verify existing building eaves/overhangs will adequately exceed new wall thickness to prevent moisture intrusion

Verify all installed panels are above grade as per manufacture's specification

Determine if mechanical or utility penetration needs to extended in the installation area

Verify that installation area is structurally able to support the weight of added insulation panels
