Attic Restoration – Insulation Removal, Air-Sealing, and Blown In Fiberglass Installation in Fresno, CA
Joan contacted us because her home constantly felt hot and uncomfortable in the summer and frigid in the winter. She mentioned that she and her family also suffered from allergies. She was looking to improve the temperature comfort and indoor air quality in her home and reduce her heating and cooling costs. When we came out and examined her attic, we discovered that there was only about 4 inches of insulation present, and the attic was littered with debris. We determined that a comprehensive attic restoration was needed to help Joan achieve all of her goals.
We began by sucking out all of the old, dirty insulation and debris. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer. Next, we thoroughly air-sealed the attic to help prevent the flow of air between the attic and the home’s living spaces. This included all top plates, recessed lights, registers, and plumbing and wiring penetrations. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, bringing the home up to the R38 level prescribed by Energy Star.
As a result of the full attic restoration we performed, Joan and her family now experience cleaner indoor air quality and elimination of their allergy symptoms, reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, and a more comfortable home temperature year-round. They will enjoy these benefits for as long as they reside in that house.
