Attic Restoration – Removal, Air-Sealing, and New Insulation in 940 Sq. Ft. Home in Visalia, CA

Danny contacted us because his home was not only hot and stuffy during the summer, but it would feel freezing during the winter. He was looking for a way to make the temperature in his home more stable, as well as to reduce his heating and cooling costs. We came out and inspected his attic and found that there was virtually no insulation present, maybe about an inch. The attic was also littered with all kinds of debris. We determined that a comprehensive attic restoration was needed to help Danny reach his goals.

We began by removing all of the debris and old insulation. We then used DSV sanitizer to clean the attic and eliminate the irritants and contaminants. Next, we sealed all air leakage points with closed-cell foam. This helps prevent air from moving between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Next, we installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, or 14 inches. 

Because of the full attic restoration we performed, Danny will experience better indoor air quality, reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, and a more temperate, comfortable home year-round for as long as he lives there.
