Attic Restoration in 1100 Sq. Ft. Home – Removal, Air-Sealing, and Rodent-Proofing in Fresno, CA

Scott reached out to Tyson because his house was constantly hot and stuffy during the summer and frigid during winter. He not only wanted to make his home more comfortable, but reduce his heating and cooling costs as well. When we inspected his attic, we discovered that there was only about 5 inches of insulation present, with the floor joists being visible under the old insulation. We also found evidence of rodent activity in his attic. Because of these factors, we determined that an attic restoration was his best option for achieving his goals of comfort, cleanliness, and lower bills.

We began by sucking out all of the old insulation in the attic. We then cleaned the attic using DSV sanitizer. To prevent air from flowing between the attic and the home’s living spaces, we air-sealed all leakage points including top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from re-entering. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level.

As a result of the attic restoration we performed, Scott and his family will enjoy a more temperate home, better indoor air quality, a rodent-free attic, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they live in the home.
