What to do about Dangerous Old Attic Stairs
South Charlotte TV Mounting Services wants you to be aware that Attic stairs can be dangerous for a number of reasons. Firstly, the stairs are often steep and narrow, which can make it difficult to carry heavy items up and down.
Secondly, many attics stairs are extremely old, have damaged retention springs, missing hardware and are brittle due attic heat that can lead to failure.
Third, most lack adequate lighting and ventilation, which can make it difficult to see obstacles or create hazardous air quality. Additionally, since an attic is not a regularly used space, items may be chaotically stored or kept in disrepair, making navigating the area potentially hazardous.
Finally, last but not least is the heat loss and air infiltration that most attic stair access suffer from. We always advocate new insulation or attic access tents to eliminate air infiltration.
Attic stairs can also become a hazardous for all households, especially those with young children in the home. Attic stairs are a common feature in many homes, but they can pose a serious risk if they aren’t used safely. They are not only a safety concern, but they can also lead to a variety of other issues, from stair failure to pests invading the home. It’s important to be aware of the potential risks associated with attic stairs, so that you can take the necessary steps to keep your family safe. Moreover, it is essential to understand the importance of proper installation and maintenance of attic stairs, in order to ensure that they remain safe and secure.
The fact is that almost all of the local home improvement stores that sell these stairs, do not also install them. South Charlotte Services has years of experience doing them and can help you explore the storage possibilities that your home can provides. Numerous homes are absent of attic stairs simply due to builder budget thus sealing off that valuable storage area. We can cut out and install pull-down fold away stairs that blend in with the ambience of your home, looking perfectly in place when closed.
If you already take advantage of the potential of this room, but want to make getting in and out easier on yourself, we can help with that too. Every home is different meaning we must come out and look at the project. Once there we will check attic to determine feasibility. If it is deemed possible we then explore deeper to determine structural and non structural areas. Many times after we do the attic stairs installation the homeowners will also have us floor the attic to increase storage space area where possible. We can also relocate the entryway or extend existing floor, helping make stashing those Christmas embellishments a a easy a task as possible.
