Attic Restoration – Removal of Contaminated Cellulose, Air-Sealing, and Blowing In Fiberglass Insulation in Fresno, CA
Whitney contacted us because she was looking for more insulation in her attic. She wanted to reduce her heating and cooling costs and help her home maintain a comfortable temperature. She discovered us through our hundreds of 5-star Google reviews and gave us a call. When we came out to inspect her attic, we found that she only had 3 inches of old, contaminated cellulose insulation present, and dozens of air leakage points. Whitney decided to get a comprehensive attic restoration done to help her achieve her goals.
We took the following steps to execute the attic restoration in Whitney’s home:
- vacuumed out old insulation
- cleaned and sanitized the attic to remove odors and contaminants
- air-sealed leakage points such as top plates, registers, recessed lights, and wiring and plumbing penetrations
- installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic
- blew in new fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic to the Energy Star-recommended level for our climate
As a result of the thorough work we did in Whitney’s attic, she and her family will now enjoy the following benefits for as long as they reside there:
- reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%
- less dust in the home
- better indoor air quality
- a warm, cozy home in winter and cool, comfortable home in summer
