Attic Restoration – Full Extraction of Old Insulation, Air Sealing, Sanitizing, and Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation in Hanford, CA

We were called out to Hanford, CA by a homeowner who was complaining of high energy bills, an extremely hot house, and having issues with indoor air quality. We visited his house and performed an attic inspection which revealed a neglected attic: old, dirty insulation, old roofing debris scattered throughout the attic, and multiple points of air leakage.

We explained to him that all of these issues are caused by a contaminated, leaky attic and can be easily remedied with an attic restoration.

We began the attic restoration by extracting and disposing of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using Nisus DSV sanitizer. This is a concentrated disinfectant, cleaner, mildewstat, fungicide, and sanitizer that kills a broad spectrum of viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Once we had a clean attic to work with, we identified all areas where air leakage could occur and sealed those areas with closed-cell foam. This included all top plates, wire and plumbing penetrations, and registers. By sealing the attic, it prevents from flowing between the attic and the home’s living spaces. Additionally, we installed barriers at any potential rodent entry points to prevent them from accessing the attic. We cleared the soffit vents to ensure improved ventilation of the attic space.

Now the homeowner and his family enjoy a comfortable home all year round, with no more dust flowing into the house causing allergies, and their heating and cooling costs will be reduced for their home’s lifetime.
