Attic Restoration in Two-Story, 3000 Sq. Ft. Home with New Fiberglass Blown In Insulation in Fresno, CA

Frank contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because the costs to cool his large house were becoming unmanageable. On top of that, Frank said his home never really felt cool and comfortable. When we checked out his attic, we discovered that he only had about 5-6 inches of old insulation present, with his floor joists visible through the insulation. Since his home was built in 1947 and had been neglected for almost 70 years, we determined that an attic restoration was in order to help Frank achieve his goals.

We began the attic restoration by vacuuming out all of the old insulation and debris. We then used DSV sanitizer to clean and sanitize the attic, eliminating irritants and contaminants. Once the attic was clean, we installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents from entering the attic. We also used closed-cell foam to seal off air leakage points. This includes top plates, registers, wiring and plumbing penetrations, and recessed lights. This helps prevent air from being able to travel between the attic and the home’s living spaces. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation to bring the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

Due to the complete attic restoration, Frank and his family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home during summers, a warmer home during winters, better indoor air quality, and reduced heating and cooling costs for as long as they live in their home.
