Complete Attic Restoration – Removal and New Blown In Fiberglass Installation in 2300 Sq. Ft. Home in Clovis, CA
Yvonne reached out to us because her home constantly felt hot and stuffy, despite the fact that her air conditioner ran constantly. She was looking to not only keep her house cool, but also reduce her cooling bills, which were high in her 2300 sq. ft. home. When we inspected her attic, we discovered that she only had about 4 inches of insulation present, and there was evidence of rodent activity, including deceased rodents sitting atop her old insulation. Because of this, we determined that a comprehensive attic restoration was needed.
We began the process by sucking out all of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer, eliminating contaminants and irritants from the space. Next, we installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic in the future. We also thoroughly air-sealed all holes, gaps, and cracks using closed-cell foam. This included top plates, plumbing and wiring penetrations, registers, and recessed lighting. This is done to prevent air from flowing between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended level.
As a result of the total attic restoration we performed, Yvonne and her family will experience a cool, comfortable home during hot months, a warmer home during winter, better indoor air quality, and reduced heating and cooling bills by up to 50% for as long as they reside in the home.
