Insulating Nashville’s houses: what to expect
Pre-war houses have no wall insulation and often none in the attic, and the walls are dense-packed from outside or inside while the attic is air-sealed and blown; the house was built to breathe, and the work respects that.
Mid-century ranches have a few inches of original attic insulation and none in the walls; the attic to code depth is the quick win and the walls are the longer project.
In a fast-built town the attics are at the code minimum of their year, and a top-up after air sealing brings them to standard street after street.
Insulation under a floor over a vented crawl fails wet in this climate; the answer is encapsulating the crawl and insulating the foundation walls instead.
The ground affects the insulation under the house — a damp crawl that soaks the batts — and the answer under a floor in this region is a sealed crawl, not more fiberglass.

Insulating before air sealing. Blown insulation does not stop air movement. Covering unsealed penetrations hides them and the loss continues underneath.
