Attic Restoration to Improve Indoor Air Quality and Home Comfort in Shaver Lake, CA
Jason reached out to us seeking a resolution to his home’s uncomfortable temperatures and poor indoor air quality. We came out to his home and inspected his attic and found the root cause of his discomfort: the attic only had about 3 inches of old, dirty cellulose insulation present. We determined that a full attic restoration was needed to help him achieve his goals of reduced bills and a more comfortable house.
We took the following steps to complete the attic restoration:
- Vacuumed out the old cellulose insulation to remove dust and contaminants.
- Air-sealed the attic with closed-cell foam to close off air leakage points, including top plates, registers, recessed lights, smoke detectors, and plumbing and wiring penetrations.
- Cleaned and sanitized the attic to remove irritants, contaminants, and odors.
- Installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic.
- Blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R38 level for optimal energy efficiency.
- Provided Jason with before and after pictures to show the improvements made.
- Informed Jason about our 6-month rodent re-entry guarantee for peace of mind.
As a result of the upgrade we performed, Jason will enjoy a more comfortable home year-round, better indoor air quality, and lower heating and cooling bills for the life of the home.
