If your insulation is dirty and black, it indicates that you have an air leak. The blackness is a result of dust and dirt particles being trapped in the insulation due to the air passing through it. This suggests that air is flowing through the insulation, which is not supposed to happen. Therefore, a dirty and black insulation is a clear sign of an air leak.Rate this question:

Insulation helps maintain a consistent temperature inside the building by reducing the loss or gain of heat through walls, floors, and ceilings. It is not related to cleaning or holes in the wall.Rate this question:
