Attic Restoration Including Air-Sealing and New Fiberglass Insulation Installation in 1450 Sq. Ft. Home in Fresno, CA

Daniel contacted us because he was looking for a solution to his high cooling bills and hot, uncomfortable temperatures in his home. We inspected his attic and discovered that Daniel’s home only had about 4-5 inches of old, dirty insulation present. The floor joists were visible through the insulation, indicating thermal bridging, or heat flow from the hot attic into the living spaces of the home through the ceiling. We determined that a comprehensive attic restoration was necessary to help Daniel to achieve his goals.

We began by removing all of the old insulation and debris in the attic. We then cleaned and sanitized the space using DSV sanitizer to eliminate irritants and contaminants. We then sealed all air leakage points with closed-cell foam to help prevent air from flowing between the home’s living spaces and the attic. We also installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points so as to prevent rodents and other pests from entering. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, or R38, the Energy Star minimum recommended level.

Because of the full attic restoration we did, Daniel and his family will experience a cool, comfortable home during the summer months, a warmer home during winter, better indoor air quality, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for the life of their home.
