1100 Sq. Ft. Home Gets Attic Restoration – Insulation Removal, Air-Sealing, and Blown In Fiberglass in Fresno, CA

Dave reached out to us in the winter because his house was constantly cold, despite his heater running constantly. As a result, his heating bill was extremely high. He also told us that his home was uncomfortably warm and felt humid during the summer as well, with his cooling bill being wildly high. When we came out and inspected his attic, we found that his attic only had about 3 inches of old, cellulose insulation present. Because cellulose is so dusty and his attic wasn’t air-sealed, his home was very dusty as a result, causing allergy symptoms for Dave and his family. We determined that an attic restoration was needed to help Dave’s home maintain a comfortable temperature, which would lower his heating and cooling costs.

We took the following steps to perform the attic restoration:

– vacuumed out all of the old cellulose insulation

– cleaned and sanitized the attic with DSV sanitizer, removing irritants, contaminants, and odors

– air-sealed the leakage points on the attic floor including top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations

– installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic

– blew in premium fiberglass insulation to bring the attic to an R38 level, the Energy Star recommendation for our climate

As a result of the comprehensive work we did, Dave and his family will enjoy the following benefits for as long as they live in that house:

– better indoor air quality

– a warm home in winter and cool home in summer

– reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%

– a higher resale value for their energy-efficient home should they ever decide to sell their house
