Attic Restoration – Removal, Sanitizing, Air-Sealing, and New Insulation Installation in Fresno, CA

Manuel contacted us because his 2400 sq. ft. home was expensive to keep cool during the summer months. Despite his high cooling costs and his air conditioner running constantly, his house never felt cool and comfortable. When we came out to inspect his attic, we found that Manuel’s attic only had about 4 inches of insulation present, and there was old, dirty batting insulation scattered throughout the space. We determined that to help him achieve his goals of reducing his cooling costs and making his home more comfortable, a full attic restoration was the best option. 

We began by sucking out all of the old, dirty insulation and disposing of it. Next, we cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer to help eliminate the contaminants and irritants. We then installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. We also meticulously identified and air-sealed potential leakage points, including top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations. The last step was blowing in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, which brought the attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

As a result of the comprehensive attic restoration we completed, Manuel and his family will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during the summer months, a warmer home in the winter, reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, and better indoor air quality for as long as they live in that home.
