Full Attic Restoration in 1500 Sq. Ft. Ranch Style Home in Clovis, CA

Krista contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because she believed her insulation was low. Her home was cold in the winters and hot in the summers, and she was becoming increasingly concerned about her heating and cooling bills. We came out to investigate and found that her attic only had about 5 inches of old, dirty insulation. We asked Krista if any of her family members had any health concerns and she told us that her two children had allergies. Because of all these factors, we decided that a complete attic restoration was in order.

We first removed all of the old, contaminated insulation from her attic. We then thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer in order to eliminate contaminants and irritants that may have been contributing to her children’s allergies. Next, we installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests out of the attic during the winter months and we sealed off other holes, gaps, and cracks using closed-cell foam. This included wire and plumbing penetrations, top plates, registers, and recessed lighting. This provides additional protection from air flowing between the attic and the home’s living spaces. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches, bringing the home to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level of protection.

Because of our thorough work on Krista’s attic restoration, she reports that not only is her home more comfortable temperature-wise, but she has seen a drastic reduction in her heating and cooling bills — despite the rising cost of energy. Her children’s allergies have also been virtually eliminated. They will be able to enjoy these benefits for as long as they live in the home.
